Looking for a good throttle
I have a very nice flight stick, but the stupid little slide-throttle is rubbish and I want to get a full hands on throttle. I don't know much about flight sim equipment so I'm not really sure where to start, except with a budget(preferably under $150, no higher than $200) and that it needs to be a single USB connector.

I would prefer gaming parts rather than expensive Fight Sim hardware, I'm buying this for Ace Combat 7 and Elite Dangerous only at this point.

The Pro Throttle linked above is fine, and from all I've seen the Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle[www.thrustmaster.com] shouldn't be bad either.

My vote is for CH one too - I have mine for years and it never failed me unlike multiple other ones.

The CH throttle has EMI issues though, every time I get out of my desk chair, the static discharge crashes the device without any physical contact. It immediately reconnects, but there's always USB sounds :-D

Thurstmasters throttle is great. Do for some strange resone it was cheaper to buy the hole kit with T 1600M joystick and throttle

Right now I like the look of the Thrustmaster, but it's not currently available anywhere. Would you consider it worth waiting for, or should I look at the CH?

First one works very well. Just not enough buttons for my taste. Which is why I upgraded to the second one. With the second one I never have to touch my keyboard.

You should be happy with either set up though I would think.

I have the stick from the second HOTAS, what I'm missing is the throttle which isn't currently on sale in Australia. I would've bought it with the throttle if the throttle was available.

That's a cable fault. Could be in USB plug, the socket, or even in the throttle itself. If it's still under warranty I'd get in touch with CH and get it sent off for repair. If it's not under warranty, find someone who's handy with a soldering iron to replace the cable for you.

I think you can get them seperately. Or so I have been told.

Give me a bit......let me see if I can hunt one down for you.

Ok I found this at newegg.Com

Assuming I pasted the link right....I am on the phone app.

I am also assuming you can order from newegg in Australia. Maybe no? I googled t.16000 throttle only to find it.

Hope this helps.

That's a cable fault.

That's really unlikely, the thing works perfectly all the time, so the cable does what it's supposed to. Just a static discharge without even touching anything near the thing, let alone moving it, will irritate it.
