Really great throttle for the money. I have many, I've collected HOTAS since the days of the 286 PC, my primary throttles being the Warthog and of course the CH Throttle. I've had several CH Throttles since the gameport and USB models have been out, and IMO this throttle is really the only stand alone competitor to the CH as of right now. Every other decent throttle comes with a stick, although you can now buy the WH throttle by itself, it's usually $300 after shipping. This is under $60 right now, and does a great job, the buttons are all a bit more positive than the CH IMO, the tension screw is a phillips head which works well too. The slider for rudder pedals will be great for those who liked the old Saitek sticks like their X36, X45, etc, which had a rudder bar as well. Some prefer this to pedals or twisty sticks, and brings back that option, or you can use it for an analogue slider instead for something else like radar azimuth/whatever.
The hand sits in a different position on this unit than on the CH, and the slider moves accurately and to full throw/zero in all the Win10 flight sims I tried it with, which is essentially all of the majors and many of the minors. It sits very low, and has a slightly wider footprint than the CH unit, but otherwise the size is comparable.
This unit is 1/2 the cost of a CH throttle, and is every bit as good.
