How much did they want for it?

Powered hubs have an external supply. Game controllers don't use anywhere near USB2 spec in data transfer.

The plug on a GX16 is 12.5mm. The plug on a GX12 is 9mm, the 12 is the dimension of the hole in which the female connector is mounted. Looks like you might have a GX16?

Official comment from Winwing (Tonylin409) on the HOTAS/SIMPIT Discord:

One option is to make parts of the pit modular/removable. E.g. you could turn a quick release, lift out the A-10 UFC and fire handles, unplug a cable, and plug in an F14 ACM panel, an F/A-18 UFC or an F16 ICP module in its place. Much easier for a VR pit where you wouldn't have mechanical steam gauges or displays, of course.

I use a left-handed VKB Kosmosima grip on a Gunfighter base. They have just recently released a cheaper base with the same stick grip built in, the Gladiator NXT (but make sure you get the left handed version), that also has both a throttle wheel and two rotary encoders on its base. It starts at $120.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, I presume?

It is one big PCB for the entire thing, I'm afraid.

Leaked magazine scans says Airbus T16000M variant and new Airbus-style throttle, plus the desk mounts shown in the teaser.

We have been saying this since before you launched, you know...

What's the lead time on getting a discount code through the sales@vkb email? Is it halted because of covid-19 or did my email probably not reach them?

(Mamba- 5 pins) (Gladiator Pro MkI - 5 pins) (Gladiator Pro MkII - 3 pins rev A) Gladiator non-pro with grip adapter upgrade - 3 pins rev B (Gunfighter MkI - 3 pins rev A) (Gunfighter MkII - 3 pins rev B) Gunfighter MKIII - 3 pins rev B So basically the only base you can buy new is 3pin revB. The grip you linked fits an older base that you would have to buy 2nd hand.

Most parts are designed to be printed in PETG on a FDM/FFF printer. Some people have achieved very good results by using a DLP resin printer for buttons and knobs.

I do not have any issue with the dual stage on my SCG-L premium. Perhaps your unit is defective.

I use mic switch up to open the comms menu, then touch controller to navigate the menu. The rest of the mic switch is occupied by VoIP radio controls.
