F16 Fighterstick
Designed with the look and feel of the F-16 Fighting Falcon's jet grip, the F-16 FIGHTERSTICK is a top-rated controller teeming with one 8-way switch, three 4-way switches, three fire buttons, a trigger, trim controls and rotary throttle. Use this bad boy with the PRO THROTTLE for a whopping 40 programmable functions. Here are the specs:
The F-16 FIGHTERSTICK is CH Products' most advanced stick yet. It's easy to use in comparison to TM equipment. The FIGHTERSTICK has these features for your gaming pleasure:
ONE 8-WAY SWITCH and THREE 4-WAY SWITCHES: Fire weapons, change views, lock targets. You have all sorts of different functions to choose from. (All programmable by the way.)
THREE FIRE BUTTONS: To annihilate your opponent.
TRIM CONTROLS and ROTARY THROTTLE: Help to fine tune your stick so it doesn't go haywire during a game.
SINGLE KEY and MACRO PROGRAMMING: Lets you configure each button to a single
key or string of commands. (This gets you away from the keyboard and on
your way to destruction!)

F16 Combatstick
Meant for intermediate to advanced players, the F-16 COMBATSTICK has 14 functions which become programmable when it's hooked up to the 20 function PRO THROTTLE, for a grand total of 34. (Please, hold your applause.) It comes complete with two 4-way switches, five fire buttons (we like buttons), trigger, trim controls, and a crowd-pleasing rotary throttle.
The F16 COMBATSTICK is, to paraphrase Goldilocks, not too complex, not too simple, but just right. It has 14 button functions and you can boost that to 34 by adding a 20 function PRO THROTTLE. Some specs:
TWO 4-WAY SWITCHES: For more control, more precision and more enemy kills!
FIVE FIRE BUTTONS and a TRIGGER: Because you can never be too rich, too happy, or have too many ways to shoot.
ROTARY THROTTLE and TRIM CONTROLS: To adjust your F-16 COMBATSTICK for maximum efficiency.

CH Pro Throttle
The Pro Throttle is one of two made by CH, the primary difference between this and their standard throttle being that the Pro allows any standard joystick to be programmed. On its own it has twenty functions which can be assigned to one of four four-way hats and four buttons, with up to twenty more functions assigned to an attached joystick.
The Pro Throttle also has a slider mechanism which can be used for an analog or digital throttle. For more information, go to the

Janes Combatstick
CH products has enjoyed a reputation for solid full featured joysticks. the newest addition to their line, the Jane's F-16 Combatstick, is no exception ! Should we owners of the original Combatstick trade up to the new and improved model? That's what I set out to discover.
The most recent addition to CH Products line for flight sim fans is their Gamestick 14. If you are on a budget, check it out!
