Let me start with my only two complaints because that's what most of you will be looking for. I didn't buy it sooner and now I'm spending all my time playing with the buttons.
In all seriousness it is an amazing throttle. Not only is on par with other throttles cost wise but it in my opinion beats them for functionality and versatility. The Franky ludicrous amount of buttons/encoders/hats ect and the interchangeability of them to design the throttle however you want is something I was missing with other throttles. The detent system is amazing. I never thought I wanted the detents but now having them and seeing how easy they are to use and work with I could never go without. The build quality is as good if not better as any other mainstream throttle and it doesn't feel like I could break it even If I dropped it.
More importantly thank all of that, the VKB team seem to actually care about their customers and listen to them. This is not my first VKB product I also own the pedals, gunfighter and gladiator. The few problems I've had with the products the VKB team have been right there to help me within a day at the longest which is more valuable than any other aspect of their products.
I'd be surprised that the the STECS doesn't become THE sim throttle for DCS and similar games. I couldn't recommend this enough, even if you can't afford the standard get the mini, the option to upgrade in affordable steps is there and will only get better in the future.
