I'm rather happy that there is progress on this front, as we knew it would come before the TECS.

The launches of the THQ and SEM are only a good thing, as it definitely means we're getting closer to the TECS, and we have new toys!

It not being featured in the video makes perfect sense - they were focusing on the side modules that (can) go with the GNX. The TECS is a different project.

I was always going to get an SEM for the additional buttons and such, and can't wait to have that. I'd say my previous comment from the start of the year is close to accurate - we MIGHT see the TECS in the start of 2022, maybe around Chinese New Year, but VKB are focusing on the launch of their latest (awesome) piece of kit. The TECS will launch when it's ready.

Best news is, though, we're getting closer :D

Are there any plans to have warbird-style knobs available? I'd love to have a P-47 style throttle quad with turbo, throttle, prop, and mixture controls with black and red rounded knobs.

We can't disclose more than we had already, sorry I understand this is not a reply you expected but here is where we are. Please bear with us till the model is released.

This may have been answered already but I'm assuming that this initial throttle will have some mounting plates available to secure it with other joysticks/SEM equipment similar to the current SEM mounting plates? Thinking of running dual stick with throttle and it would be great to be able to mount both my left Gladiator NXT and this throttle to a single plate (which would then obviously mount to the Stronghold mount).

Thanks in advance!

There will be - or at least so we're planning - mounting features, but I don't think there were provisions for mounting a throttle and a joystick base in one unit.
For this, we have our Stronghold mounting system.

The good news is that you have a wonderful loving wife; bad news is there won't be any TECS for this Christmas :)

As a left hand pilot interested in the left handed Gunfighter Mk.III ‘Modern Combat Edition’ w/ MCG Ultimate Grip,
will there be a VKB TECS: Modular Throttle made for the right hand?

If I remember correctly, some pages back they responded “unfortunately, no.” to someone that asked the same question.
