How are the head-to-heads chosen?
Each head-to-head is chosen by hand among the most searched match-ups in flight sim, and frozen: two products of the same family, or two direct alternatives for the same use (for example an all-in-one yoke against a yoke with a switch panel). Pairs are only published when both products are in our data.
How is the winner of each criterion decided?
On each measurable criterion, the best stated value wins: highest score, lowest price, highest resolution, most axes or buttons, longest warranty. If either manufacturer does not state a value, the criterion is left undecided.
Are the head-to-heads based on hands-on tests?
No. They compare official spec sheets and checked US prices, with no hands-on test.
