Editorial verdict
feiko Hands-on · 600 hours owned
The undisputed bang-for-the-buck king of flight simulation. Ball bearings on all axes, adjustable dry clutches, and an integrated base plate with encoders and throttle slider.
Pros
- Unmatched price-to-performance ratio in the entry-to-mid market
- Dry clutches allow smooth resistance without grease damping decay
- Built-in throttle axis, 2 encoders, and 3 buttons right on the desktop base
- Sturdy steel weighted baseplate sits securely on any desk
Cons
- Plastic gimbal ring (though reinforced glass-fiber ABS)
- VKB DevCfg software is functional but looks like industrial engineering software
Great for: space_hosasmodern_jetww2
Skip if: You require an all-metal dual-cam gimbal mechanism

The single best entry-to-mid range joystick base. EVO ball bearings and clutches make it punch way above its weight.
