Some updates:
- The Gunfighter Mk.3 base will be available for separate purchase after Chinese New year;
- The twist adapter can be used to upgrade the Mk.1 grips to the Mk.3 (I can explain this is there are questions);
So that gives me an upgrade path if I want to follow it.
I am really happy with both my Virpil and VKB sticks and bases. Right now, the Virpil is ‘better’ due to the cams that i have installed (which, if I remember, are the straight space cams ‘without’ a center detent. I like the smaller VKBV base a smidge more and the build quality of the grips is a smidge better (but nothing that would contribute to me picking one over the other.
I really want to see what Virpil does with their addon panels. That really interests me and if they had a kit or someone can figure out a way to (explain to me how to) communicate through their base, that would be awesome. That may be a hobbyist’s dream!
The Virpil throttle doesn’t appeal to me, for some reason. I’d like to see one in person to get a feel for how it works but the throttle itself and the detent system seemed off from the descriptions that I read on the internet. I am patiently waiting to see what VKB comes up with for their throttle (and it’s been a looong wait).
EDIT: It may be an expensive year for me in 2020.
