Got x for xmas and want to get a yoke. Any suggestions? Thank you
There used to be a lot more makers of "sim gear"...either that or I'm losing my mind.
I use CH Products as they make a very nice yoke for simulators.

When I got my yoke, I was pleasently surprised at the quality and how sturdy & durable it was.
My only gripe with CH Products, is they charge MORE for their own product(s) than some of their vendors do.
I haven't quite figured out why, but let me show you..
Here is their (CH Products) yoke direct from them at $150 (not including shipping and/or

Anyway, by just checking around I found at BizRate (click on the link below to pull up the same search)

I think I paid around $85 for mine, which was a heck of a lot better than $150 from CH Products themselves. Still, that seems kind of strange, but my guess is they don't dealing directly with the public...but who knows?
Anyway, good luck.
I second that. I use the CH Yoke, Throttle Quadrant and Rudder Pedals.
