Sandy Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Any chance the throttle might be in my hands by Christmas? I don't know about the length of preorders - this one hasn't started yet - in the past, so I came here to ask. Couldn't find any info so far except "before february" So, will we have the throttle delivered Christmas?
Outlaw24 Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 I doubt it they normally release some information about upcoming products when they are close to their release date, so either they are slow with the info, or it's not close to release. And if they did release it you probably would not receive it until after Christmas due to the virus and holidays, maybe the 1st quarter of 2021.

dburne Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 I have not seen a peep out of them on the TECS in some time. 1 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero|
Sokol1_br Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 VKB give the usual hint about TECS here, Tuesday. "Soon" ..."200 bucks" (basic version). And that "soon" is just plans, not promise, and the throttle is "strongly different" from the "teaser" renders. Anyway, if followed the pattern of previous products, will be released a limited batch for collect players feedback for the version two. :)
dburne Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 In other words don't hold your breath. Original info stated they were about ready for production IIRC. And that was quite some time ago.

Foul Ole Ron Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 They had previously indicated maybe around the Chinese New Year in 2021. We'll just have to wait and see what transpires.
Foul Ole Ron Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 That's some very early renders. Apparently it's undergone changes since but nobody has seen any design pictures as VKB keeps its cards pretty close to its chest until release time. Hopefully we'll get some more info in the near future as previously the Lunar New Year (mid-Feb) was floated by VKB as a release date.
Bog9y Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Ooooh....I like that! Looks like a better version of the Virpil throttle. Virpil just has too many buttons and things on the grips.
Dangerzone Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 You can never have too many buttons. I'll be holding out to see what happens. I'm considering a new throttle as well (I just don't trust Logitech anymore) and was looking seriously at either TM Warthog or Virpil but might be worth holding off a month to see if there's any announcements. 2

BigHairyGobbler Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Seems like it, VKB announced their TECS throttle December 31, 2017 then reannounced it January 28, 2021. Still have yet to see anything else let alone a shippable product. Luckily, Virpil has a great throttle as does WinWing but always nice to have a third option of their quality. Hoping they get something out in 2022 but I wouldn't hold my breath.

My Warthog throttle starting giving me some troubles earlier in the year and I really wanted more axis so I went ahead and grabbed the Virpil CM3. I really like it and it has been doing quite well for me. I will still get the VKB whenever they do bring it to market. Being the hardware junkie and all that I am. 2 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero|

Yes, several years and many products later nothing, some kind of update would be welcome, other than the wheels are turning. 1 Spoiler: MSI Z790 Carbon WIFI, i9 14900KF, 64GB DDR4, MSI RTX 4090, VKB STECS Mk ll throttle, VKB Gunfighter Ultimate MCG Pro w/200mm Extension, Winwing Orion Rudder Pedals W/damper, Wingwin Monitors/MFD's, UTC MK II Pro, Virpil TCS Plus Collective, MSI 34" QD-OLED @240Hz monitor, Samsung 970 Pro M2 2TB (for DCS), Playseat Air Force Seat, KW-980 Jetseat, Vaicom Pro, Tek Creations panels and controllers.
cordite Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Someone actually selected "I'm feeling confident. "? Don't get me wrong, I'm waiting for this too. Unless they decide to jump on the "this hardware must have a periodic internet connection to work" bandwagon.
Sandy Posted January 10, 2022 Author Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Don't you worry, there are still many christmas parties to celebrate. Bet it will be released the day Star Citizen goes Open Beta. Edited January 10, 2022 by Sandy
