STECS Throttle System

The STECS is the premier modular throttle system for flight and space sim pilots.

While many commercially available throttles are designed, and ergonomically optimized, for use with a certain type of flying machines, the STECS offers a more universal solution thanks to its modularity and customizability.

Needless to say, STECS is compatible with all VKB controllers and modules.

Introducing the STECS Mk.II - we listened to your feedback!

This update comes in response to feedback from many users who experienced unwanted sideways movements when trying to move in a single direction with the thumb ministick. With so many voices raising this concern, VKB HQ couldn’t ignore it—so here’s the solution.

Updated MTG Grip:

All new STECS Mk.II Throttles (all submodels) will have the original thumb ministick replaced by a 5-way hat switch (4-way plus center push). Additionally, a 2-axis ministick will be introduced under the index finger across all submodels, replacing the push button.

For current STECS owners with the thumb ministick who would prefer the upgraded hat, VKB HQ will produce a limited batch of replacement MTG half-grips, available at a reduced cost. Details will be announced soon.

The new Mk.II versions are now listed for purchase with an expected shipment date around 30 December 2024. Prices remain unchanged.

All stock of the current Mk.I STECS models have now sold out and can no longer be purchased.

Back to the STECS in general terms:
We gave our full attention to tactile feeling of this control device. Soft and comfy replaceable rubber inserts reduce slipperiness of naked material and ensure better grip. Same goes about encoder wheels and buttons: all of them have rubberized inserts.

Smooth and non-sticky movement of the throttle axes is supported by adjustable independent clutches.

Combining this multitude of modules, you can create hundreds of different configurations for your own personal needs.
