Recommend a throttle to use with my VKB stick

[katoman1932]

I intend to order a Gunfighter stick and would like to receive suggestions for an appropriate throttle to use until VKB releases their own edition.

I recently picked up the Virpil CM3 Throttle and am very happy with it. I really like the assortment of physical detents.
I had an issue with the mini stick sticking in one direction, support took care of it pretty quickly. I received it back exactly two weeks
from sending it off in good order.
Way better than the Warthog throttle imho.

Also anxiously awaiting VKB's throttle offering. Yeah I am a hardware junkie.
BTW Gunfighter Pro L with 200mm extension and the Ultimate Metal Grip is da bomb!

Thank you for your recommendation. I went to the Virpil website but the units are on "backorder." It would be my first choice if one were available.

Don't let that status of back order fool ya. This is the new Virpil ordering system, and it has confused more than yourself.
Everything is going to show either back order or pre-order.
You have to get an order placed if you want one. There is a thread over on their forums where folks are posting details of their order status - when it was ordered, when it was invoiced, when it was shipped, etc.

You have to place an order to get what you want. Seems turn around time runs around a month or so. You will not be charged until it is processing for shipping, which is typically around a week before shipping.

Thank you for your advice on ordering within the Virpil ordering system. I completely understand their business model: production based upon demand equals reasonable inventory.
