Both the yoke and quadrant come with plastic clamps to hold them to a desk. Once tightened, they are going nowhere with normal use and they feel very robust. The whole setup has 20 buttons or switches, a POV hat, three levers, chronograph buttons, and a mode switch – plus the usual X/Y axis for the Ailerons and Elevator.

- | The Yoke takes up a large part of my desk, as I align it with a monitor for the best sim experience – leaving not much space for a keyboard or mouse either side. The buttons and switches are quite soft to the touch, but they have a reassuring click feel to them when they are activated; there’s a “mode switch” which, under Linux, sadly just acts as a permanently activated switch that I’ve found useful for switching the outside/ | + | The Yoke takes up a large part of my desk, as I align it with a monitor for the best sim experience – leaving not much space for a keyboard or mouse either side.

- | The aileron and elevator axis doesn’t stick at all, and, when released, it springs back to the neutral position with very little bounce, and doesn’t feel too heavy or stiff.

The quadrant has three levers that are plastic, but they have a very sturdy feeling and are more than suitable for the task. Each has a switch built in to the lever below the 0% point that could activate a reverse thrust or engine cut-off. Atop each lever is a removable color-coded knob allowing customisation - in case you were to buy a second quadrant or you just don’t like the order. At the very bottom at the front there are some three way switches, one for each lever – useful for things like flaps and speed-brakes. The quadrant that comes with the yoke isn’t USB (like the standalone version), but has a PS/2 style connector that plugs into the side of the main unit – and thereby freeing up a USB port. | The quadrant has three levers that are plastic, but they have a very sturdy feeling and are more than suitable for the task.

CH Pro Pedals are so named because they are ‘professional’ hardware. They look a little bland and dull (for lack of better words) – not as fancy-looking as the Saitek ones – but they feel sturdy and very well constructed – in Mexico of all places. | CH Pro Pedals are so named because they are ‘professional’ hardware.
