Not saying I can buy it, but just maybe...

Anyway, what's the consensus? CH products?

Do tell!

Modded Thrustmaster Cougar with Force Pressure Kit will beat the precision and "plastic" feel of a CH stick.

See my signature -- Cougar+force mod. Prepare to spend "too much" -- as one nearly always does when one buys the best regardless of price. Still cheap compared to the highest end Intel quad and will last a decade longer smile

As for the best performance/price deal, also see my signature -- Saitek.

yeah, if you feel like sacrificing blood, sweat, tears, and time, then cougar is great...me, i got tired to tweaking/repairing/troubleshooting it and just wanted to fly, hence my switch to CH.

reliability and ruggedness - CH all the way

feel and looks - Cougar, Saitek

I'm a CH man mainly because my HOTAS takes a beating; but I never have to worry about them breaking. I've used the same CH HOTAS going on 8 years and never have had something break/malfunction

I haven't had any regrets after buying my CH HOTAS.
