Choosing flight sim yokes & throttles comes down to one immediate trade-off: do you want a lower-priced yoke that leaves pedals and throttles out, or a higher-priced setup whose title includes a throttle? These two Saitek systems target different cockpit-building plans, so the right choice depends on your computer compatibility and which controls you need in the same purchase.
Quick verdict
Choose the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System Logitech Model PZ44 No Pedals if the listed Apple-and-PC compatibility, wired USB connection, and lower price matter most. Choose the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System w/throttle if you use PC and want the product title to call out a throttle, with clamps mentioned in its description. The first is a yoke-focused option; the second is the more bundled direction.

Where each product wins
The no-pedals yoke wins for a yoke-first build
The no-pedals model has the more flexible compatibility line, listing both Apple and PC. Its wired USB and controller-attachment connectivity also gives the connection details more definition than the other system's simply wired description. The product title and description make the package boundary easy to understand: it is centered on the yoke, with pedals and throttles not included. That is a sensible direction when those controls are already handled elsewhere or when you want to build a setup in stages.
The yoke with throttle wins for a more bundled control choice
The w/throttle model is the clearer fit when having a throttle identified alongside the yoke is the main buying reason. Its description mentions that it looks to be complete with the clamps, adding a specific setup detail that is not called out for the no-pedals model. The trade-off is its narrower listed compatibility, which specifies PC, plus the higher USD 84.99 price. Those details make it easier to choose when the throttle is central to your plan rather than an accessory you will source separately.
Product notes
Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System Logitech Model PZ44 No Pedals
The Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System Logitech Model PZ44 No Pedals is the practical pick when the controls you already own matter more than getting a broader package. Its listed compatibility includes Apple and PC, and its connectivity includes wired USB plus controller attachment. The title and description align on the key limitation: pedals are not included, and the description also says throttles are not included. That makes it a yoke-focused purchase rather than a full control bundle. The USD 62.21 listed price is the lower of this matchup, which suits a yoke-first build. It is listed as used, with common wear, scuffs, and scratches described.
Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System w/throttle
Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System w/throttle makes the clearer case for shoppers who want the throttle called out in the product name. The description also mentions that the unit looks to be complete with the clamps, giving the purchase a more bundled direction than the no-pedals model. Its listed compatibility is for PC, and connectivity is wired. The limitation is equally concrete: it is used, and its listed model compatibility does not include Apple. At USD 84.99, it carries the higher listed price in this comparison, so the extra spend should make sense only if the throttle wording and clamp-equipped setup match your plan. Its black plastic construction is shared with the other yoke, not a reason to separate the two.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the no-pedals yoke for the Apple-and-PC compatibility line, wired USB connection, and yoke-only approach. Be prepared to handle pedals and throttles separately.
- Choose the yoke with throttle for a PC-focused setup where the title's "w/throttle" wording and the description's mention of clamps match your intended controls.
- If price is the deciding factor, the no-pedals model is listed at USD 62.21 versus USD 84.99 for the other system. If the throttle is the deciding factor, the second title addresses that need more directly.
