update from me:
received the package today. so it took a week from Russia to Canada (and we had a huge snowstorm and a long weekend to boot). No extra tax or custom to be paid either.
First the packaging was top tier! Extremely well wrapped and packaged.
Then I unpacked it, connected the cable provided, launched DCS and it just works right there. Nothing else to do.
The buttons are good quality and the collective itself is great to use for up and down motion and to twist the throttle.
Highly recommend, thank you Mikhail
Edit: if anyone with an ikea markus is on the fence, you can cobble a quick L-bracket adapter for like 20 cad. My setup now looks like this:
