Fly how I want to

I recently received my Gunfighter MK4 and STECS Standard and fell in love immediately. The STECS is a solid piece of kit with heaps of buttons and sliders. I like how you can set variable detents on the throttle, and set up buttons and switches how you want them. The config software is easy to use, with heaps of YouTube vids and the official discord server for help if I got stumped. If you’re looking for a good high end throttle for your HOTAS with heaps of versatility, then look no further. I am really happy with my purchase, and I am sure you will be as well.

Great throttle top to bottom

Feels great to use and has great build quality. The interchangeable buttons and detentes are a nice addition. The software is the same as other VKB hardware which is as functional as it is unfriendly, but at least it works which is a damn sight better than some competitor’s I’ve used in the past.
The only part of it I don’t love is the lack of an analogue hat / mini joystick located under the index finger. There is one under the thumb, but your thumb’s relation to it changes as you move the throttle making your inputs inconsistent. I’d hoped to use this for space sim axes of movement that are perpendicular to the throttle, but thus far I have not been able to dial in that muscle memory. If at some point in the future VKB releases a mini joy you can swap for the digital hat in that slot this thing is would be perfect.

Thank you for your positive review of our STECS Throttle System! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying its build quality and functionality. We appreciate your feedback regarding the lack of an analogue hat/mini joystick under the index finger and will definitely take it into consideration for future product updates. Thank you for choosing our product and happy gaming!

Perfect throttle

I bought this to play Elite Dangerous and some other flight sim games. The throttle feels incredible to use, very accurate and smooth. Ergonomics are excellent and buttons basically everywhere you might put your fingers - which is a good thing! Hard to fault, if it made sense to play E:D with two of these I would.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our STECS Throttle System. We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying the accuracy and smoothness of the throttle, as well as the excellent ergonomics and button placement. We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to have a great experience using it for Elite Dangerous and other flight sim games. Happy flying!
Best, VKB Support

I have since made two seperate purchases through VKB. After research and majority communities praising vob for quality, entry level and durability, i decided to purchase ly first joystick with them. Not realising that the joystick was out of stock, i wrote and email frustrated that my same day express order was not sent out.

Luc kindly explained the reason and stated its shown on the website itself, which i understood and accepted

after i received my product, received excellent customer sevice it was a no brainer to continue to support vkb in purchasing my throttle, which was same day shipped!
