Received my Virpil MT50 throttle on Friday, see the pics at the top for what it looks like.
It's LOVELY.
The base is all metal, and clearly sturdily built. Won't be taking mine apart, but apparently all the mechanical internals are also all metal.
LOTS of buttons and in use is MUCH more precise than my old CH Throttle.
The throttle itself is two axis, linked together, which can be used independently. Then there's another 4 analogue axes, 4 4-way hats, 3 rotary encoders, and as mentioned, plenty of other buttons and switches. The main throttle includes configurable detents and a variable level of friction.
Negatives? The price of course, but being fair, it's clearly significantly better built than pretty much any other consumer level gear. The yellow button with the red surround is a bit naff looking, however, I fly in VR, so makes no difference to me.
Lastly, the flip up switch is just not a good size, and gets in the way of actually using the switch that it's covering. The good news being that it was a 2 min job to remove the cover (in a way that is reversible).
So, happy bunny here!
