Featuring many of the buttons and switches you'd find in an actual cockpit, the Eclipse Flight Sim Yoke greatly enhances flight simulator programs. Six analog 10-bit axes give you control over aileron, elevator, propeller pitch, fuel mixture, throttle, and rudder movement, and the colored handles for throttle, prop, and mixture let you fly with confidence.
The Eclipse also features a programmable trim/scroll wheel with a center push function, an eight-way POV hat and rocker switch on the left and right sides of the grip, and a three-color LED selector dial. Adding to the yoke's authenticity are two backlit pusher buttons, a traditional push button, two two-way flipper switches on the base, and two traditional push buttons on the back of each grip. The fully programmable fingertip paddles work with both flight and driving simulators, and the free-floating, non-binding shaft enables smooth movement for added control.

A real improvment on their previous yoke.
I have had the CH Eclipse yoke for a month. It replaced a CH Flight Sim
yoke I had used for years. Two obvious upgrades are the
elevator and rudder trim wheels. They work very well and have
'clicks' you can feel, you can make fine adjustments. Another
obvious is the 'paddles' between the yoke arms. They operate one
axis and they work well as a rudder control. Two lighted square
buttons work, but the light is eye candy.A total of 25 'buttons'.
Each trim wheel takes up 3. The point of view hat is on the left now.
all in all it works well, and I really the trim wheels and paddles.
Well worth the street price.
A replacement yoke
I bought and used an earlier version of the CH Yoke (the CH Yoke LE as it was called) a few years ago. The old yoke had only a throttle axis and lacked the new "thumb" rudder axis and front handle buttons. Advertising for the CH Eclipse Yoke claims a better shaft. I don't notice much difference in shaft friction or smoothness, but I never had problems with the original version, either. My original Yoke LE failed when the in/out elevator axis failed, so hopefully this version, which is more expensive, will last another 6 years or longer. The yoke shaft still seems to be a hard molded plastic so perhaps only the shaft bearing material is upgraded. Desktop mounting remains unchanged from the LE version with adequate spacers to accommodate most any surface.
I use the yoke for Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane, not for driving games. I also own the CH Pro Throttle and Pro Pedals, so some of the controls on the Eclipse yoke are not being used in my setup. The yoke could be set up with a throttle axis and rudder axis, but these are being disabled on the yoke on my setup to avoid potential "crosstalk" between the yoke and the other controllers. I have also not found logical uses for some of the remaining buttons, which have not yet been assigned a function.
There are six available axis: elevator, ailerons and rudder (yoke handle), and the throttle, mixture and prop (levers on the top right). In addition, on top of the ends of the handles there are two hat switches, two rocker switches (both now are horizontal position) and two buttons. There are two "flip" switches on the body below the three lever axis. On the front of the yoke are three buttons (two with lighted LEDs), two thumbwheel-type switches, and a 3-position knob with green/yellow/red LEDs to indicate position. In other words, there are far more buttons available than I can find uses for. The LEDs on the yoke front remain brightly lit at all times unless the power supply switch on your computer is turned off or the yoke is unplugged from the port.
If you install the Control Manager software, CH claims 240 programmable functions. Apparently the 3-way switch is used to switch sets of functions (80 to a set). For flight simulator, I can't find sufficient uses for one available set, so I can't imagine what anyone would need the other two sets for unless it would be to program each set for a different type of aircraft (moving from single engine prop to commercial jet for example).
I use two of the axis levers for mixture/fuel and prop control, with one disabled in favor of my separate Pro Throttle. I have disabled the thumb rudder on the yoke in favor of my Pro Pedals. Both hat switches are used, one for glance and one for slow pan. The yoke handle buttons are set for braking. The two thumbwheel switches are elevator and rudder trim. The two flip switches are for flaps and gear. I have programmed the front buttons for overhead view (seeing position on runways and taxiways) and GPS. The remaining available buttons remain unprogrammed until I find a suitable reason to include them, so basically the yoke has far more buttons than most flight sim pilots will ever use.
Installation was made with Win7 64-bit and was nothing more than plugging the yoke into the USB port. Win7 found the drivers automatically and identified the device correctly. I did not install the Control Manager software from CH (download available from their web site). The yoke works well with both FSX and X-Plane. The yoke shaft still seems to be a hard plastic.
In summary, time will determine the durability and bearing wear of the shaft which seems to be the point of contention among most simmers for the older versions of the yoke. I did consider the Saitek yoke but was unable to find one to examine and went back to CH Products to maintain compatibility with my other controllers. So far so good. There are far more functions on this yoke than anyone can reasonably be expected to use and remember.
