TotalControls Button Box

[SvAF/F16_Goblin]

Got a package in the mail today ?

Really nice box, same footprint as Warthog throttle and great tactile feel on the buttons.

The layout is really well adapted to VR, easy to find everything with the headset on.

UPS had not treated the package nicely, not visible on the outside but the supports inside had given causing the box to move around.
No damage to the box or function but anyway not nice. I got info from TotalControls that they have revised the packing to prevent this in the future.

 

First impressions, beautiful finish and a very nice tactile feedback in the buttons. No way to miss a input.
Nice feel to the potentiometers as well with just the right amount of force needed to turn them.
The layout is perfect for VR, easy to find and identify with headset on.
 

The footprint is (not measured exactly) as the Warthog throttle as far as I can determine.

Lighting is the same green colour aswell, perhaps a bit brighter and not adjustable.

 

One heads up! In windows game controller program all buttons (33 an up to 44) wont show but they work just fine in DCS.
Got me confused for a while before I started DCS and tested the controller there.

 

Not the cheapest box out there (hey what's cheap in our hobby right ? ) but the quality is superb, very pleased with how it feels and looks.

 

Inside the package you'll find a mini-stick for the 4 way hat (a firm but gentle press to mount it is required) together with the handles for "Gear" and "Hook" aswell as a USB cable and documentation.
