jcbak Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 After about 14 months of daily use, the left toe brake on my Saitek Combat Pro Pedals has decided to stop working.....totally....dead....no life. The right toe brake was always a little twitchy. I bought them to replace my CH pedals. The CH pedals were always reliable but the pedals were too close together and they weren't comfortable. I gave them away. I'm looking to upgrade with a new set. I liked the looks and size of the Combat Pro pedals. Quality is now in question. They were always noisy and felt cheap. But until now, they worked and that was fine with me. I don't want to buy junk but I don't want to take out a personal loan with the bank either. I'd like to keep the price under $500.00. As I see it, my options are: MFG Crosswind, PFC Pedals, GoFlight, Saitek or CH. Am I missing any other manufacturer?

Sokol1_br Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 In this 500$ range - not FSX/X-Plane airline or helicopter oriented - the "high end": MFG Crosswind Slaw F-16/BF 109 Pedal VKB RDR Helicopter oriented: Komodo Simulations BTW - Alternatively you can open the Saitek pedal and replace the damaged potentiometer with one better (Bourns, Alps, CLorostat...) than the "0,09$" originally used. ;)
MackTheKnight Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Can't go wrong with the MFG Crosswinds. They are far superior to anything else I've used.
Yurgon Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 +1 for Crosswinds. Mine have now been in use for 15 months, and there's not a sign of wear. They look and feel as if they had just come out of the box. :thumbup:
jcbak Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 I took the plunge and went for the MFG Crosswinds. The reviews are nothing but positive on several different sim sites.
