Finally an alpha stick from Virpil that can attack the VKB's Kosmosima. VPC Constellation ALPHA-R, and the L version is, you guessed it a left hand version clone. I think it looks pretty good. I'm still waiting for Noobifier to hopefully get a Kosmo from VKB.. Maybe he gets this sooner and does a full tear down review so we see the inside build q and if it's on par with VKB. The new VPC Connie has 2 trumps here with the brake lever and the scroll wheel but personally I value the build quality more. Nevertheless this is now a 1:1 in my book even with included bias since I chose VKB. Alright, now let's see them new inventive throttles champs! Virpil already has a contender albeit it's lacking a bit for my preferences, VKB on the other hand is still silent in that department but maybe something is cooking in the shadows.. If I could offer just one advice to both companies in regards to throttles: guys, rotary axes directly on the handle are far superior to ministicks for 6dof. The saddest Hero throttle which had only one problem - a bad manufacturer is still the best 6dof throttle on the market (The Rhino family from uh...Saitek). It is shit quality build with pretty decent components and has a gold solution to 6dof on a traditional throttle. Pro - they have no recenter spring Con - they have no recenter spring Solution - add both DO IT!
