Using different HOTAS sticks?

[Jonnylap1]

Hi all,

I currently have the Thrustmaster Warthog F18 Stick and just acquired the F-16 grip so I can have access to an extra hat. 

Just curious if there are any issues if I were to use the F18 stick when I fly the Hornet and then switching to the F16 Grip when I fly the Viper, or the A-10C?

I would prefer to use the same base and just switch the grips, but also have a second base incase it's easier to plug in the new unit each time. 

Are there any issues with setting up keybinds, or having my system/or the game recognize the change?

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks so much!

My biggest concern would be with the electrical connectors.

I'm really not a fan of the male/female plugs that are in use by Thrustmaster (and therefore Virpil to retain compatibility) and would have concerns about the potential to break/bend pins on repeatedly changing them over.
