If I remember right I have a Mad Catz PS2 controller. Shame that the Saitek brand won't be no more. A lot of Flight Simers are going to be disappointed. Now there's just CH Products. I have both their pedals and yoke.

That vid was funny! About sums it up. LOL!

JUST CH Products?

What about Thrustmaster, or Logitech?

PLENTY of options out there...and I'm a simmer.

Mad Crap was what we called them back in the early 00's when I worked at GameStop. If I remember correctly, we actually had an official policy that we couldn't take them as used trade in because they were always broken or would break soon after someone bought them. Pelican controllers where the shit though, some of them were better than the OEM controllers.

Not sure what Logitech offers for pedals and a yoke or Thurstmaster. Do they both offer pedals?
Logitech(Saitek) should still be selling their combat pedals as well as their yoke and throttle quadrant. The Saitek pedals are the only thing that Saitek sold that actually lasted long enough for me to just upgrade rather than replacing a broken piece of hardware.

Thrustmaster sells the critically acclaimed Warthog that everyone loves so much. I've never used them but they look real nice.

I'm perfectly content with my CH Throttle, Combat Stick, and my SlawDevice pedals.

Yeah, I have the CH Products pedals and yoke. Bought them both at a yard sale for a mere $25! What a steal! And to think I heard the guy say, " glad those are gone." I was like, shit. I bet they don't even work. But they indeed work! Best damn deal I ever got in my pathetic life! LOL
