Saitek PRO Flight Yoke System, Professional Simulation Yoke And Throttle Quadrant, 3 Modes, 75 Programmable Controls, Configurable Throttle Knobs, Steel Shaft, USB, PC - Black

I've racked up hours flying study-level heavy jets on MSFS, Prepar3D and XP11 but I've only ever had a joystick and throttle, GA flying has been quite boring so I've usually avoided it. Since getting the Yoke, throttle quadrant and pedals flying has become so much more realistic and has brought GA flying to life. Besides the obvious addition of the rudder pedals adding a whole new dimension, one example is that you need noticeably more flight control deflection at lower airspeeds because of the reduced control authority. This blew my mind and now I'm finding I fly the Cessna 172 just as much as the Zibo 737-800X, although each of these flight models are as enjoyable and engaging as eachother but in different ways. The Yoke is solid, slightly larger than a real Cessna yoke and slightly smaller than a Boeing but feels right. The movement of the Yoke is smooth and pushing/pulling for elevators has quite a large range too. The whole set is made from heavy duty plastics and you will appreciate that the first time you're fighting with a gusty crosswind coming into land. The throttle quadrant is good quality too although as the controls for throttle/mixture/prop are smaller they feel somehow marginally less robust than the chunky yoke - this is not a huge concern though and I'm sure they will survive for a long time. The rudder pedals are appropriately heavy, fully adjustable from a friction point of view, and have clever optional velcro tear offs on the bottom so if you're on carpet you won't find the unit slipping away. (If anything, these velcro strips are TOO strong as they pulled the corner of my carpet up off the edge grippers when I moved them. Lesson learned and lifting the front of the pedals unit first solved it. I use my office desk for work and simming and can easily get the whole system unplugged and stored within a minute or two. The twisty vice-like screws which hold the throttle and yoke to your desk feel very strong and after several weeks of going on and off show no sign of wear and tear. There are softer plastic pads on both sides of the Yoke and quadrant meaning there is almost no chance of damaging your desk. If you're into flight simming, this is a no brainer.

I've recently started using the Logitech G Saitek PRO Flight Yoke System, and it's been an exceptional experience. This professional-grade simulation yoke and throttle quadrant offer 75 programmable controls and three modes, making it highly versatile for various flight simulations. The configurable throttle knobs and durable steel shaft ensure precise control and durability over time. It's USB-powered and compatible with PC, providing seamless integration for flight enthusiasts. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pilot, this yoke system enhances realism and immersion. Highly recommended for anyone serious about flight simulation!

An extremely good system at a very good price. They work well as a stand alone system and were very easy to allocate buttons and throttle quadrant and for various functions. The three modes on the yoke allow you to set up the system to save settings for different types of aircraft such as airliners, G.A. aircraft and fighters. Using the yoke is different to a joystick and takes some getting used to but is well worth it. The system is also a good start if you want to build a more elaborate cockpit system piece by piece as there are holes on top of the yoke system and at the base of the throttle quadrant to add radios, gps, autopilot, light switches etc. I would recommend the system to anybody interested in the flight simulation hobby I share with others.

Two very different levels of quality to this yoke and throttle set. Firstly, the yoke is solid and smooth and feels like it has been taken out of a real light aircraft. Secondly the throttle set looks and feels cheap, all plastic including the levers themselves and not just the handles. That said, it works nicely when set up on XPlane 10 (11 arriving tomorrow) and the three rocker switches below each lever I have set up for pitch, roll, and yaw trim. I bought the Thrustmaster rudder pedals because the Logitech ones weren't going to be available until the end of the week, but they are really nice to use and seem good quality. Takes some getting used to on the runway keeping it straight with pedals instead of the twist grip but I'm getting the hang of it after a dozen take-offs and landings, although I have veered off a couple of times and gone into a fence! I would recommend this gear but I would just say be very careful with the throttle set as even catching your clothing on a lever when getting up and walking past would easily snap the plastic. Keep them in the upright position when not playing just to be safe! All in all, an excellent buy for the price.

I’ve been a long-time joystick user with my flight sims, so this was going to be a big change for me. I wish I’d made the switch earlier. This thing is fantastic. The build quality is superb. The yoke movement is slick and predictable. There are a multitude of buttons and rocker switches which can be mapped to sim functions of your choice, so you have a lot of control over aspects of the sim without having to move your hands too far. I purchased the package comprising of the Yoke and Throttle Quadrant. The throttle is also well built, but the levers don’t seem so sturdy. They should do the job well enough, though. The clamps on both are excellent. My setup means I can’t have these items clamped to my desk at all times (as I also have to use it as a desk now and then), but they’re both very easy to add and remove. The big plastic screws holding things in place don’t need to be tightened very much at all to keeps things in place, which should help with longevity. The yoke really has transformed my sim experience. I mostly fly the default Cessna 172 and Xibo 737 , both in X-Plane 11 (on an iMac), and both of these aircraft obviously have this traditional style of yoke rather than a flight stick, so the yoke helps mimic the experience more realistically than it does with a joystick. It’s also nice being able to hold the aircraft in a turn with one hand whilst adjusting controls with the other - not an easy trick with a joystick. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, I’d recommend you give it a try. It really has made a world of difference to my simming - all in a positive way. Also, it’s outstanding value for money for the Yoke and Throttle combination. --- Update: The original item failed after a couple of months, but was promptly replaced by Amazon. The replacement unit has been working fine since then. I would still recommend this product - I assume I just had a duff initial unit.

I purchased the Logitech flight yoke to replace my Saitek unit which after 14 years of service started to give some problems. A brilliant piece of equipment.

Has been operational for over 12 months with no issues. Tough construction with excellent desk clamps. Reliable operation of all buttons, switches and moving components.

Seemed to be good value but actually feels cheap and likely to break. The main shaft does not move smoothly and has a most unrealistic detent in the artificial centre position and only 45 degree rotation angle. This makes accurate aircraft control impossible. Very disappointing quality overall. It's badly designed and poorly manufactured. I replaced it with a Honeycomb Alpha; twice the price but a world away in terms of quality.
