Idea: Brake lever adapter for Kosmosima?

[JWebmeister]

Is there any interest in a brake lever adapter (maybe similar to twist adapter?) for the Kosmosima?

I’d personally prefer flying dual stick in space sims, locking the twist axis, and using the dual brake levers + pedals + 2*stick x axis + 2*stick y axis for 6 DOF.

What would you bind to the brakes? Thrust up/down? Pedals are still roll/yaw, depending on how you like it?

Yep, actually the lack of brake lever is why I wait for another left hand grip.
I would like a "brake lever" on left hand to map the acceleration limiter of Star Citizen. More detail on my actual and likely.. Future mapping here :

hon0 has linked to a decent write-up of his expected personal preferences.
I too have ingrained muscle memory of aircraft flight controls including roll on the right stick x-axis, but through experimenting with a SpaceMouse I've found I can train to use my left hand for x, y, z strafe + roll using a floating puck, but left joystick twist is just a step too far for me to intuit for anything outside of vertical strafe for a slow deliberate VTOL, versus quick+accurate control in a dogfight.

For space sims, primary in my mind is Star Citizen, I'd like to map a "secondary" axis in respect to dogfighting & general spaceflight, which by my definition is:

1. used in quick bursts rather than long sustained position (e.g. roll in space, or yaw if in-atmosphere flight model);
2. used for short duration / only in certain situations (e.g. debatable, but vertical or horizontal strafe); and/or
3. has a redundant means of control such as via toggle to other axis or -100%/0%/100% binding to a hat (e.g. longitudinal strafe or throttle).

I haven't locked in my preferred controls yet as the flight model of Star Citizen is still up in the air. At the moment I could see myself using dual brake levers for either vertical strafe, roll or horizontal strafe as an alternative to left stick twist.

I am big fan of the MCG Break Lever and would not hesitate to buy a Kosmosima Break Lever adapter.
