CH Products FighterStick USB

The CH Products FighterStick USB is one of the best, if not the best flight stick on the market currently. The huge amount of programmable functions will keep your hands on the stick rather than the keyboard during your flights. Couple the CH Products FighterStick USB with the CH Products Pro Throttle USB for the ultimate HOTAS flight system.

Features of the CH Products FighterStick USB

The CH Products FighterStick USB features 24 buttons; three push buttons, one mode switch button, three four-way hat switches and one eight-way point-of-view hat.

The CH Products FighterStick USB also has two rotary trim controls allow you to set your controls for precision. Located at the bottom of the stick, the mode button gives you access to each of the CH Products FighterStick USB's three mode settings.

The mode switch allows you to bind multiple functions to each button with the included software. The large red trigger is set up for easy rapid fire action.

The base of the CH Products FighterStick USB contains three colored LEDs that let you see at a glance what mode you are operating in. For added realism, the CH Products FighterStick USB is authentically designed after the stick in the F-16 fighter jet.

CH Products FighterStick USB in Use

Flights with the CH Products FighterStick USB are legendary. I have never played with a joystick with as many functional buttons and switches as the CH Products FighterStick USB has. I never had to touch my keyboard while playing flight games.

I also liked the feel of the CH Products FighterStick USB, and think the spring tensions are right-on for perfect accuracy. Unlike the Pro Throttle, I had no issues with the CH Products FighterStick USB sliding around my desk during use. Simply an excellent product and one of the best flight joysticks you will find.
