Out of the box the flat almost dated design of CH Products made we wonder if this was a joke, with all the flashy lights and outlandish designs many peripherals are sporting these guys are just ugly, but once you get past the design you find a solid, responsive and out right excellent set of peripherals.

The Joystick
My current joy stick that sits on my desk has a blue light on the top if it, the only reason for it is to inform me that it is working, or to annoy me, I am not sure. I unplugged it and plugged in the Flightstick Pro USB. My Windows XP PC loaded it like a charm, and I was off. First I jumped into the "Flyboys" server of BF42, and started laying waste to the English airfields in my fine piece of digital German Aircraft. The joystick worked great, under its bland shell is some real high quality moving parts. Every button felt solid and responsive.
