Assorted sim hardware for sale due to clear out and upgrades

Just wanted to say this was a good transaction. Stand up guy and great deal. Still using both to this day and loving them. thanks Mark! -
Sorry I didn’t see this. I put it on ebay about a month after I posted this. They all sold.

<profanity>. Just grab u a x52 or x56 throttle off ebay. With modifiers, that’s a damn good start

If u have the twcs throttle, just use that. It’s not bad and with the gladiator stick, you’ll be golden. also, don’t hesitate to order the stick from vkb China. I ordered one for me and one for my son at different times about a month apart. I got FedEx the first time and DHL the second. FedEx was about a week and DHL was either 3 or 4 days and with shipping from China to the United States, the total for the premium stick was just $190 so u might as well just order u a new stick and either use the twcs throttle or jump on ebay and grab an x52 throttle for $40-$50 and be up and at it in under a week

This is actually accurate. anything virpil goes for more used because of the shipping/wait time and paranoia over the situation in Ukraine. They’re going for almost double the price on ebay but for no reason because the wait ordering from virpil is not bad. I just got me warbrd base and alpha stick and it was u see 3 weeks from order to arrival. for the original poster, a great functional option would be what I had before my virpil hotas which is a gladiator nxt stick and a Logitech x52(or x56) throttle. Their sticks suck but the throttles feel amd work great for the money. Not as many buttons as the virpil but for the money, that hotas setup worked phenomenally. I just sold both on ebay this week for more than I asked here but nobody replied on my post so I put em on ebay. really look into that tho. For your budget, u can’t beat the nxt. It really is a great stick. The difference in something like the virpil is just the customizability. The accuracy and everything else is pretty much on par.

Says ebay removed it

I’m ok now. For a temporary solution, I figured out that 2 of the screws for the warthog plate would go into the Virgil throttle bottom so I osed that for the throttle and then got some “dual lock” Velcro type stuff that’s like Velcro but stronger. I used that on the bottom of the warbrd desk plate to hook it to the warthog i no mounting plate and voila! I can’t even tell it’s not screwed in. I’m glad I ordered the actual plates cuz I really want them but if I had come up with this solution before I bought them, I might not have lol

I ordered the dual lock stuff for a temporary solution but then I got in touch with the guy at FoxxMounts. He has a universal plate that also works with monster tech mounts. It’s drilled to fit just about all the different throttles and stick bases from the warthog to virpil to vkb. I ordered 2 of them. One for my warbrd base and another for my cm3 throttle. They’re just $35 each and shipping is free. I figured the peace of mind was worth that. Have a look. https://foxxmount.com/collections/mounting-plates/products/15-40-series-common-stick-plate

That’s what I did initially but I use joystick gremlin so I figured out how to do it in there. I ended up doing something even better. I made it toggle to mouse xy and then on the other side of the toggle it’s axis to button. Also in mouse mode, the trigger switches to the left clock and the pinky modifier makes it right click. The scroll wheel on the stick is set to be an actual scroll wheel so the times I’m flying in VR, I have full mouse control without taking the headset off or touching the mouse. It worked out pretty sweet.

Can u do $120 shipped? I have $120.82 already in my PayPal. I have to go add money to it to send more. I disconnected my bank from them over a recurring charge I was disputing. -
