They throttle itself functions fine. I actually prefer the more simple design and slide motion. Less things to go wrong or break.
The hat switches are comfortably placed and easy to reach with your thumb. The three buttons on the front are placed nicely for my hand. I can use my pinky, ring, and middle finger for them and have my index finger on the hat on the front of the throttle. The amount of buttons/switches available on the throttle is fantastic.
There is no center or 50% dent. I added my own by opening the throttle and locating the half-way point and carving in a dent for the slider's 'feet' to bump down into. I did this after trying the velcro mod others have used, which I found to be next to useless and felt awful. There are no stars off for that since the center dent is subjective. Some like it some hate it. I personally like it to have control of my reverse thrust power in space sims. I do not mind a simple mod to add one in.
The second star off is the CH Throttle input itself. In their own software it shows the limitations of the 8bit system being used with a constant 'jitter' of the throttle axis, which is sent directly to the games. Since it happens all along the range of the throttle, there is no way to really get around. If they would update their design and parts to leave the 1980s but keep the simple functions and general configuration of the devices, these things would be a five star rave review.
I no longer use this throttle, but keep it on hand in case I ever need a throttle on short notice. If CH updates their components to 16-bit I would definitely buy the updated version. As it is now with the 8-bit system in place and its limitations and the issues that introduces into current video games with a constant jitter on the axis, I cannot recommend the product to others.
The actual Throttle feels nice. The build quality is solid, I really like the throttle and their base design is very functional, it just needs to be updated to leave 1980.
The CH device drivers are built into the CH Control Manager Software that you can download from here.
