Hey, fellas..

Hoping yall can help me as I’m new to this world - I had a Logitech 3D extreme when I was a kid and wanted to pick up something a little more quality - but I’m looking for a specific setup.

Long story short - is there any combination of existing products or mods that would allow for a setup like having the Aeromax throttle mounted to the side of the KBD?

I’m fully aware there is a middle throttle already on the KBD - it may be possible to 3D print and modify it to mount on the left - but i figured yall may know of an easier option.

I know KBD has some options for the 3 lever to mount to the KbD - but I’m looking to keep the girthiness to a minimum.

Appreciate any insight yall can provide.

It's highly unlikely that the VKB firmware will pick up the Virpil sensor.

Even if that weren't the case, you'd have to open both and make modifications by adding cables and connectors.

With the cost of the Virpil module, you could build a simple throttle with a few extra buttons, with a Arduino PRO Micro, STM32F103 "BLUE PHIL".
