skypickle Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 The Virpil cm3 throttle has a multitude of hats. Most of them have unique tactile design to allow you to know which way they are oriented. They have a ‘castle’ or ‘rook’ style top and the 4 cardinal directions in which the finger has to move the hat are obvious. Except one. There is a 4 way hat centered on the rotary encoder on the medial side of the throttle. This hat has a conical shape. Although there are facets on the hat, I often find myself pushing it the wrong way. Part of the problem is that as the throttle is moved through its excursion, the orientation of the hand on the throttle changes so you have to push the finger (usually the thumb) in a slightly different direction to achieve the same direction on the hat. It would be so much easier if the hat had the shape of a cross. Then I would know exactly which way to push the hat simply by feeling for the appropriate arm of the cross. I don’t have a 3d printer nor any experience with 3d cad. Has anyone made a snap on improvement? 1 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal
