STECS Space Throttle System - Standard

The STECS Standard has a sturdy steel baseplate and non-slip rubber pads, allowing you to use it on your desk or attach it to a sim rig or chair mount. It also has an MFH (Multifunctional Holder) compatible fixture for adding frontal extension modules.

The addition of the Space Throttle Grip (STG) allows for versatile 6 DOF thruster control in space simulation games.

Please note: The STECS Standard baseplate has the same hole pattern as the TM HOTAS Warthog throttle.

Optionally Available

MFH:

Please note that the STECS Standard does not include a GNX MFH, which must be purchased separately if you're planning to attach additional GNX modules (e.g., SEM-V, THQ-V, etc.) as part of your STECS setup.

Another Great Product

Great throttle, very solid and well made. Once it arrived in Australia it was shipped very quickly. Australian customer support is excellent. Any questions were answered very quickly. VKB 10 out of 10.

Good Entry into the Space Sim Throttle Market, but there's things to consider

The STECS STG Standard (Left) fits into the same mounting hole pattern as the TM HOTAS Warthog throttle. I bought this to use in an Obutto R3volution, replacing the Warthog for Star Citizen. The throttle axis is located slightly differently in position compared to the 'Hog, so the ergonomics will take getting used to.

The buttons and dials on the SEM are very functional, but as most of them are made of plastic, do not feel as 'affirmative' and feel 'mushy' compared to the metal switches from the 'Hog'. It's like the difference between a mechanical keyboard and membrane keyboard. This is not a problem in actual usage.

Overall, all you'd need for Star Citizen is really just the Throttle Mini. It has all the buttons, axis and switches you'd need for core functions. All Axis wheels and paddles work and move well. My hands are medium sized and buttons are all within reach. The buttons and switches on the throttle grip itself have much better feel and tactile feedback than the SEM.

The 6DOF nature of the throttle means that its height is noticeably higher than most atmosphere flight throttles. This added to my fatigue and ergonomic issues when using it as I had to hold my arm and elbow up higher than I'm used to. My solution was to angle the throttle away to the quarter left from my body line.

Stock springs and clutch tension out of the box is good. Stock 'w' detent is perfect for using the throttle as strafe forward/strafe backwards.

Some intense small ship dogfighting in space found me unconsciously 'lifting' the throttle upwards, causing accidental strafe up input, especially when withdrawing the throttle from forwards position backwards.

The throttle and 6DOF is very intuitive when used with a stick that allows for twisting. It was easy for me to get into using it competitively in dogfights, but I did not find it as easy to use for racing in Star Citizen.

Durability of the throttle components is unknown, as it is still so new.

Very high quality unit but be aware it is physically high, and ideally needs to be mounted on a desk or chair mount.
