Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD
In their discord they’d wrote “not this year, but definitely within 1 year” Ahhh, the video now makes sense. Its the [same] old song and dance.... :lol: Come on VKB. I see whats going on at Foxx Comm and it gives some insight to some of the difficulties in working in mainland China. Sadly, the hype...

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD
With two more years of development, I expected more. There are plenty of youtube videos of folks making an arc based throttle using a raspberry pi board and their 3d printer. There is nothing novel in producing the same thing everyone else has. VKB already has good buttons, good plastic molds, and a...

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD
That is a rotary actuated throttle, not the linear actuator they claimed was in development. This is not what was promised and for it to take this long, even with the current state of global affairs is disappointing. Now to see if pricing is as far off what they aimed for as the product. I stopped t...

I just want to point out $200 when this was announced is worth about $180 today. If you are going to hold this price line, then there is a rush to get to market before your throttle controller is cheaper than a tank of gas.....

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD
Everyone has their limits. I am not sure why a company would hype a product for years and not release anything. If they continue to wait, inflation will make it impossible for any quality long lasting product at their desired price point.

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD
And how goes that work? I am still interested, but after a year of limited updates and few details, my level of excitement is starting to wander toward other options currently on the market.

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD
Have we slipped from the lunar new year comment made 8 months ago? Its coming across as a low priority product even though there is a substantial demand, and a limited supply of quality throttles on the market.

Re: MCG Ultimate. Close up.
Any word on if a left hand grip is in the works? I would like to match the one I have for space sims, and the space combat grip just does feel as nice as the ultimate.

That was answered a few pages ago by VKB Canada, not currently in the works as of about 6 weeks ago.

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD
As with all things, its about balance. Release quality vs release date is no different. Although I suspect whats slowing things down at this point is the same thing effecting the auto industry and other industries whom have become accustomed to "just in time" supply of SOC and other microp...

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD
The flip side to all of this waiting, is with the market right now, its pretty easy to order one of the inferior backordered throttles and if you can get close to MSRP, then even opened box used market is going for close to, if not more than MSRP. Not that I would promote buying another companies pr...

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD
When that was written, it was near the end of the 2020 Lunar year, which led me (and I think others) to assume it was speaking of Feb 2021, and that release was basically imminent. Due to the update on the main page regarding shipping delays, and requesting 10 days to catch up with back orders; I th...
