Gents, my CH rudder pedals are becoming a bit twitchy (had them 8 yrs) and re-calibrating them makes no difference, even tried swapping usb ports. Looking to get another set of pedals. Does anyone have the Saitek pedals and if so how are they?

Saitek pedals are great (- but IMO yoke is shyte)

PS just bagged 6 lever CH quadrant off ebay.

I have saitek pedals , they are fine as i have nothing to compare them too,as these are the only pedals ive used, resistant adjusting and foot size adjustment also i screwed mine to the floor because i noticed the grips on the bottom of the pedals were not the greatest,mind ya that could be the deep shag carpets lol

Thanks guys.

Yeah I've screwed mine to a board that butts against the wall , and far end is ramped up with a bit of 4x2 just to give a more comfortable angle.

I've had both. The CH set dies after a couple of years and I have had the Saitek ones since. Far more comfortable than the CH's and so far have proven to be very robust.

I have none.

Ditto - but what you've never had you never miss, right?

I agree.........about the "great" and the "shyte" stuff.

Actually - just done a quick mod and replaced the elevator axis spring with a lighter tension one (7.1mm x38.1mm from Rolson 150pc assortment 61298), and it feels a whole lot better. The stock spring increased tension the more it stretched,but using a spring with more coils reduces this effect + lower tension makes the yoke pleasant to use.

In the end I stripped down the CH pedals and soldered a broken wire and generally gave it a good clean out, and its as good as new.

And then again, it sometimes is that simple!
