Editorial verdict
feiko Hands-on · 500 hours owned
The benchmark standalone flight sim throttle. Modular physical detent system, dual split throttle with physical finger-lift lock, and generous tactile switches on the heavy metal control panel.
Pros
- Modular physical detents with 4 interchangeable plates included
- Finger-lift locks for afterburner and idle cut-off
- Massive all-metal base with backlit buttons and heavy duty 3-way toggles
- Independent analog flaps lever and ministick on the throttle grip
Cons
- Large footprint requires dedicated desk space or sturdy mount
- Higher price tier
Great for: modern_jetww2space_hotas
Skip if: You fly purely dual-stick (HOSAS) in space simsSmall, crowded desk with no mounting option

The benchmark high-end throttle. Finger-lifts and swappable detent system are masterclass engineering.
