That is interesting. I was at one point quite interested in picking up a Yawman Arrow controller to take on the road with me, but it seemed rather over priced. This Honeycomb controller looks far more polished. It will be interesting to see how they price it.

Yeah, that was cool!

So very cool! I do very much hate flying with my left thumb. (Yes I do insist that it is the brain that flies, not the hand.) But when it come to thumbs, RC has taught things me maybe it’s best not to confuse things when doing so trashes a $600 helicopter. Plus, anything worth flying is flown with the right hand! So, for now, I will continue with my very trusty MS Elite with wine corks as stick extenders.

it can be maybe used as a small-scale throttle quadrant / button box . with the thumbstick used for other purposes than flying .

maybe not the best fit for modern fighters , but maybe for tube-liners , trash-haulers , g-a and war-birds .

btw wondering for some time now why nobody offers some small-scale controllers . if one dont need hotas solution than arcade-style joystick with throttle-quadrant the size of console controller would be really neat setup imo .
usually everything is big and pricey , or cheap with terrible quality .

Yeah, if they mirrored the controller, it would be perfect.

Right. I’ve been a broken record on this for nearly a decade. Except for competitive dogfighting with Korea and prior plane-types, the long throw of a HOTAS stick is just not needed. Yes, for a simpit where actually being in the thing is part of the point, a good stick, collective, pedals are essential. But for me, I can fly just as precisely with a good gamepad. The Yawman and gamepad highlighted in this thread are perfect solutions for many more players than many players themselves actually realize.
