Logitech Flight Simulator Controls: Saitek Yokes & Pedals

Logitech G, formerly Saitek, builds the most widely used flight simulator controls in home aviation. The Pro Flight series of yokes, rudder pedals, and instrument panels has become the standard starting point for student pilots and sim enthusiasts because it combines realistic control feel, plug-and-play USB setup, and compatibility with Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane without the cost of professional-grade hardware. Logitech is PC compatible only.

Most buyers choose based on the aircraft they fly and how complete they want the cockpit to be:

• Yoke-based general aviation setups: start with the Pro Flight Yoke and throttle quadrant, then add Pro Flight Rudder Pedals for coordinated turns, crosswind work, and ground steering.
• Stick-and-throttle flying: the X52 Pro HOTAS and X-56 HOTAS suit jets, helicopters, and combat sims where a center stick beats a yoke.
• Cockpit depth: the Multi Panel adds physical autopilot controls, the Radio Panel handles COM and NAV frequency tuning, and the Switch Panel covers magnetos, gear, and lighting.
• Starting from zero: our flight simulator bundles pair Logitech hardware with a Microsoft Flight Simulator download in one box.
• Comparing platforms: Logitech Saitek controls are PC hardware; see Thrustmaster for stick-first alternatives or Turtle Beach VelocityOne for Xbox-compatible yokes.

Whether you are logging practice approaches between lessons or building a full home cockpit, these controls anchor our complete flight training and simulation department. Not sure where to start?
