If you are interested in selling your Force feedback Pro after you switch joysticks let me know. I'm interested in buying a backup :)

For those with the CH set-up, what do you do about trim?

Trim is mapped to the top thumb button on the hotas on my CH gear, the pinkie switch on the hotas is used as a shift button so all buttons can be used twice. I only use the keyboard to thump my head off of when the bad guys nail me.

And this works well for you then m8? Would you prefer to have a trim knob or is it intuitive enough the way you just described it?

Ok so I think I made up my mind on this one. Going to pick up some CH products all the way around. Amazon.com seems to have each piece of the set for just under $100
