I couldn't help but notice that the Virpil website is still suggesting that the Throttle will be available as of the 20th May.

Any news?

Few posts back there is a post saying pre-ordered items will be shipped out by June 4th instead of may 20th.

Which I'm not disagreeing with.

Conscious that not everyone who goes to the Virpil website will have read this thread.

True..I have not checked virpil-controls.by lately but I would imagine they would have such a message hopefully regarding the small delay.

Mode switch is probable for buttons/HAT's layers.

 

LED color seems controlled in firmware.

 

- The main LED modes are Red, Green and combined for the final mode. We would like to hear from the community how you would like the LEDs to operate (and controlled) so that we can make the firmware accordingly.

Exactly what I'm trying to figure out, if those change mapping (per mode) this is a whole different beast. If those modes include the stick it becomes quite the tasty morsel, if it's just a label on a 5 way switch things didn't get so interesting after all.

Ordered mine today. Think there aren’t any available for review yet though.

I can't find the pic now showing the embossed diamond pattern that the throttle handles now have. Someone from virpil, probably cyph3r, commented that they had limited smooth throttle handles and you could e-mail virpil to request those if you had pre-ordered. Dang, I hate when I cannot find something. Found it, on their facebook page.

@Cyph3r any consent on the 5 position mode selector?

 

I've confirmed it's per mode mapping but not whether the stick is also per mode. I've got an email in; if they respond I'll post up.

I found a quote from them saying it can have 5 mappings on each switch and hat; you have to figure the 5 position mode switch controls that. No confirmation from them yet in response to my email.

I am on the fence. If it had the ministick, I would have pre-ordered it already.

 

It says

"1 x 4-way + Push Hat or 1 x Analogue Mini-stick"

 

I take it you can't specify which, and only the former is currently in production?
