I built a HTPC and decided to run FS-X over it.

I'm sick of the keyboard. Who makes a nice, comfortable, doesn't-feel-like-I'm-going-to-snap-it yoke, throttle quadrant and pedal combo?

Cheers,

I use the CH Yoke and pedals at home they are plastic but much more functional than the keyboard.

The Saiteks are more rugged but I've only spent about 10 minutes with them in a full size simulator my A&P built over the winter.

I did not like the pedals as much they were too wide for my taste.
 
FWIW, I've been beating the heck out of my Saitek X45 for a few years now; still works great. I hear their pedals are pretty good, too... but I built my own, out of a $10 joystick, $15 worth of hardware and some odds and ends I had laying around.
 
CH or Saitek. I currently have a CH yoke, CH quadrant, and Saitek pedals (after my CH pedals died after 7 years of faithful service).

I prefer the CH yoke to the Saitek.
 
How much do you want to spend.

I have an older CH yoke down in the garage (serial/non-USB). I'm willing to part with. And you know how cheap I can be.

I also have a full system (yoke, console, pedals)... don't know whether I want to part with that or not.... and it wouldn't be cheap.
