    Absolute beast of a throttle

    This is my second VKB purchase after experiencing their fantastic customer service and support.

    The build quality of my STECS MKII Max is outstanding and the online videos made it a breeze to assist with moving buttons and re-configuring them.

    I do admit that I have too many buttons now, but this is a good thing for a DCS World pilot.

    The throttle mechanism is buttery smooth and very precise making it very easy to make micro adjustments when A2A refueling. The ability to adjust the friction is fantastic. The throttle grips fit comfortably in my hand and the front buttons are easily accessible - I am 5' 6" and don't have large hands so I was impressed that I could access all of the buttons, including those on the STEM module which have me reaching to the full extent of my left arm.

    The buttons are very well thought out and seem to be of very good quality and I like that I can move them around to suit my needs.

    At this stage I have only setup one detent frame and that seems to be all I need...for now.

    I am using the throttle on my desktop and I do find that the throttle moves around and sometimes lifts when moving over detents or if the friction is set too strong. This was resolved by attaching some velcro strips to the bottom of the throttle so that it grips my desk mat. I think that purchasing desk mounts for my joystick and the STECS is something I will need to look into to overall improve ergonimics of my setup.

    I highly recommend this throttle to someone looking to upgrade or replace an ageing device.
