Anybody seen this yet? Looks well built and made to last with the magnetic technology involved!

That slider for the throttle control looks small and imprecise.

That slider for the throttle control looks small and imprecise.That is a design feature so you will purchase the throttle quadrant due for release later on this year! lol. Actually I may get this as it looks like a reasonably priced system to have a 2 throttle setup. Will have to wait and see.

It seems very much like the Thrustmaster T10000M which I’ve had for years but with just cosmetic changes. Mine has exactly the same base buttons and Hall sensors.

The one cool difference is that, if you slide the throttle all the way back, it engages a button press, so you can use that to trigger autobrake or reverse thrust. Also, it's a bit easier to swap parts around to use left-handed. Otherwise, it's functionally identical to my t.16000m.

Agreed...and consider it a very good tool...quite enough for my needs. Got one with a lot of years
