Pros:- Full 180 degree motion- Smooth operation- No discernable dead zone around centre of axis- Good amount of resistance in the springs creating a more 'natural' feel than the Logitech alternative- Good selection of switches on the yoke- Easy to operate, robust desk clamps- Comfortable feel to yoke- Price- More products in the range to follow (at time of writing this includes a throttle quadrant and mouse mat)Neutrals:- I don't use the switches on the main box. They don't match up to the specific add ons I use. Whilst not a problem and the switches can be safely ignored if you so chose, there will have been a manufacturing cost passed on to the consumer that feels (to me)

This is a fantastic piece of kit, and probably the best value for money of any yoke out there currently. Notably it has a smooth action in both pitch and roll axes with no detent, but it does return fairly quickly back to the central position when released. The pitch axis gives a reasonable amount of resistance, and seems to have a slight increased resistance towards the extents of its range. The roll axis is noticeably less resistant and doesn't seem to change throughout its range.Testing through DIView showed a minimal dead-zone on both axes, probably 1 to 2° either side of central position for roll, and maybe half a centimetre total for pitch, to prevent unwanted movement when hands-off.

I had issues with my last yoke (not going to name it but I think you know already). I made one fairly good landing, perhaps by chance, out of every 20 attempts. OK, I did not really count it but I'm not sure I ever had a perfect landing. This bad/worst landings went on and on until I suspected I wasn't the problem - it was the yoke with all its flaws. There were solutions on the internet on how to get it working well with rubber bands but I just didn't buy it and thought it was time to look elsewhere. OK, for between 700 - 1000 bucks you'll find something close to perfect but I wasn't ready for that so I went for the Honeycomb Alpha flight control.It took some time getting used to the new Honeycomb yoke - a transition from a bad yoke to a good yoke.

The feel of the material is great. I don't know how to explain it except "the back of a sky remote". Feels grippy and expensive. I am just surprised by the strength of everything on it. The pressure to push in/out, the amount of pressure to flip the switches on the yoke itself. I'm getting used to it, as I am sure you don't want to 'accidently' press the buttons.The only thing that was a hassle was the software side. I had conflicts with built in FSX defaults, even after I told the software to remove the defaults. I guess that didn't work? After I went in and removed every controller command from FSX, things started working as expected.

I can't rate this highly enough. Firstly I attempted to get a yoke on budget and went with the Saitek Pro Yoke, however; as quickly as I set it up, I had it back in the box again. I believe this yoke is the ONLY value for money yoke on the market at a reasonable price that delivers great feedback and just feels premium. The product entirely feels like money well spent. I urge anyone to save a little more and choose this product over cheaper alternatives, you have been warned!

As you can see even my partner whom has never flown on X-Plane 11 was able to control with ease the Aerobask Diamond and the honeycomb was research for many months before buying. As a Mid entry YOke it’s phenomenal, flying the Zibo 737 it feels superb, flick over to the TBM hot start and again it controls and feels amazing. The switches automatically assign so you may want to jump on this and add your own settings as I did but over all just buy it you won’t re great it

This is a fantastic yoke! I'd previously bought another which felt cheap and plastic. This however is top draw! It feels solid. No play or dead zone. You can configure all the buttons and switches inside FSX and/or the accompanying software where you can setup different profiles for different aircraft.In short, don't buy the others, you'll be disappointed. This *should* be the default buy for anyone wanting to add some realism to the flight sim of their choice.

Having purchased this for use in X-Plane I connected the yoke to my PC, launched X-Plane and well everything was set up already as X-Plane has drivers for this yoke built in.The response from the yoke is spot on, no dead zone which is a common problem with other yokes.It may cost a little more than some other flight yokes but it's worth every penny. Bring on the throttle quadrant, that will be a purchase for me without a doubt.

Bought as an upgrade from my saitek yoke and the difference is like night and day.The yoke has almost no dead zone, is beautifully made and looks great.The front panel works perfectly and the buttons and hat switches feel good.A worthy upgrade and exceptional value ?

Every part of this yoke is brilliant. There's no noticeable deadzone at all, the bungee system rather than springs feel AMAZING and overall quality is beautiful.The Logitech/Saitek Yoke truely has nothing close to this.
