Those eBay throttle detents for X56

[SickSidewinder9]

I upgraded to an X56 after my beloved eXtreme 3D pro of many years was on the way out.  Honestly, would have just bought the TM throttle if it wasn't ghosting rudder inputs really badly even after taking it apart, dusting it, and putting it back together.  Best stick EVAR.  Would have been just perfect with a 2 stage trigger.  RIP.

I digress.

Has anyone purchased 1 of those 3d printed (I assume) detent addons for their X56 like that are available on eBay and such?  If this was discussed before, I couldn't find it in a quick google search.

It says the detent is at 75%.  Does that line up pretty well with the click on the F-16?  Other DCS aircraft I may someday buy?

for $15, I suppose I could just order it and report back.

Side note, is it just me, or does the AB not come on till you're somewhere past the in-game detent?  Just looking at the fuel flow and graphics, it seems like the AB actually comes on around 5% later than the audible click.  Sup with that?

PS: the x56 seems nice.  Way bigger than I thought it would be, but it prompted me to finally rearrange my room the way I wanted it.  I bought a "used - good" one off Amazon and it was pretty much brand new.  Maybe just an open box.  Had all it's parts.  Put in the stiffest spring, which isn't very stiff, and got used to it fairly quickly.  Just a little deadzone and curve is needed.  It seems to be made for very large hands, though.  I have pretty good sized mitts (XL ski glove, L bike glove), but this is made for someone who could palm a basketball.  I had a small lighter and an old mousepad.  Taped the lighter and some foam from the mousepad in place.  Helps a lot.  Definitely made to go in a desk mount or gaming chair.  I ordered some mounts off Etsy.  I'd only want it velcro'd to the mount on the chair.

 

anyhoo, TIA.

Thanks.
I'll think about it.  Might just skip the detent.  IDK what module I'll get next, but no helicopters nor the A4 mod I fly sometimes even have an afterburner/detented throttle, so idk.
