It is known that people who are completely satisfied with their products seldom write reviews unless provided incentives to do so. I have NOT been provided any incentives, other than the desire to honestly inform others about what my product experience has been to date with this Logitech-Saitek yoke assembly. Hopefully, that will explain why I have not written ANY review of this product until now.I have had a great record of success with both Amazon and their various product manufacturers standing behind their merchandise. I hope that I can write a follow-up to this review stating that this record has not been broken.I purchased the Logitech-Saitek flight simulator yoke & throttle assembly a little over 8 months ago. It has performed flawlessly, until recently.Now the return springs for 2 of the thumb switches on the right handle of the yoke (B&C) have become weak and sticky and sometimes do not return to their respective null positions. In my set-up this means that I don't always know if the landing gear have retracted or extended. The same goes for the flaps. I hoped that perhaps they might get better, but like most mechanical issues - they have NOT gotten better with time.Although no longer covered by Amazon's free return policy, the system is still under the 1-year manufacturer's warranty. So, I do not intend to disassemble the yoke handle to further examine the problem until I have heard back from the manufacturer. I hope that Logitech will offer me a satisfactory solution.Updated, 25 October 2019:I contacted Logitech support and filed an email complaint. After explaining the situation I was experiencing, they requested that I take a short video of the problem(s), including the serial number of the system and submit to them. After doing that they then requested that I destroy the old yoke and quadrant assembly, (Probably to discourage re-selling/re-purposing the defective units.) and provide proof of same. I cut the cables off each device, took 3 photos of each with a hand written identification note displayed clearly in each and sent them back to Logitech. A little over a week later I received a brand-new (not refurbished) flight yoke and throttle quadrant system.I couldn't say more about what a positive experience this was. Logitech clearly understands the meaning of "Customer Service"! Thank you, Logitech!

I am impressed with the quality of this unit. I had used CH Products yoke and TQ for a few years and the design of the Saitek is superior. The mounting systems are much easier to accommodate different desk configurations and the units are solidly built. I especially appreciate that the yoke has a flat top to the central unit and a metal shaft. The 3 mode switch makes for a large variety of button assignments increasing the utility of the yoke and throttles.

I bought this for my Microsoft flight simulator 2020, it works so well but the steering its not hard to control its just not smooth, but the honey badger is so much smoother.Overall I would totally buy this product again

This particular yoke, the standard of most aviation enthusiasts and flight simulation hobbyists, is a perfect yoke for those who willingly want to switch from a simple joystick to a fully-fledged, basic yoke and throttle quadrant system.The deadzone is near non-existant with the recent updates from Logitech, (no longer Saitek) and the only issues I have is the sudden shift of center that happens occasionally when I leave it plugged in for a while. The throttle quadrant is perfect and the yoke itself is stable and sturdy, able to do all simple flight manuevers, the material is durable and lasts for a very long time, but a small problem when you have sweaty hands. The only restriction is the 45 degrees of turn when you turn it left or right, and the small detent when you let go of the yoke. The pitching system is perfect, and there are many configurable buttons and switches. The only difficulty many would face is the lack of precision, but nonetheless it is workable. The included clampers are a great help as well, when you don't want to move your yoke everywhere. The added function of a timer and clock is useful for timing and for general purposes in real life situations.Basically, don't fall into the hate given to this yoke. It has changed a lot from the start and is more reliable nowadays, as a functional and fixable yoke for all to enjoy. I use it everyday ever since I got it and it is perfect!!4 out of 5. Perfect gift.

Used with X-Plane 11 Beta - Out of the box. Plug it in. Calibrate. Fly. Works great.I have been a pilot since 1980 and own a small single engine aircraft. With this yoke & throttle system it's almost as realistic as actually flying.The controls operate smoothly and effectively. The switches on the yoke control pitch trim, roll trim and flaps. They also control the view out of the aircraft (front, side & rear).I have only used it for one day, but I really like it.Couldn't be easier.

Works great!
