VKB Throttle delivered until Christmas?

[Sandy]

Any chance the throttle might be in my hands by Christmas?

 

I don't know about the length of preorders - this one hasn't started yet - in the past, so I came here to ask. Couldn't find any info so far except "before february" So, will we have the throttle delivered Christmas?

[Outlaw24]

I doubt it they normally release some information about upcoming products when they are close to their release date, so either they are slow with the info, or it's not close to release. And if they did release it you probably would not receive it until after Christmas due to the virus and holidays, maybe the 1st quarter of 2021.

I have not seen a peep out of them on the TECS in some time.

VKB give the usual hint about TECS here, Tuesday.

 

"Soon" ..."200 bucks" (basic version). And that "soon" is just plans, not promise, and the throttle is "strongly different" from the "teaser" renders.

 

Anyway, if followed the pattern of previous products, will be released a limited batch for collect players feedback for the version two. :)

In other words don't hold your breath. Original info stated they were about ready for production IIRC.

And that was quite some time ago.

They had previously indicated maybe around the Chinese New Year in 2021. We'll just have to wait and see what transpires.

Is this what you're talking about?

That's some very early renders. Apparently it's undergone changes since but nobody has seen any design pictures as VKB keeps its cards pretty close to its chest until release time. Hopefully we'll get some more info in the near future as previously the Lunar New Year (mid-Feb) was floated by VKB as a release date.

Ooooh....I like that!  Looks like a better version of the Virpil throttle. Virpil just has too many buttons and things on the grips. 

[Dangerzone]

You can never have too many buttons.   I'll be holding out to see what happens. I'm considering a new throttle as well (I just don't trust Logitech anymore) and was looking seriously at either TM Warthog or Virpil but might be worth holding off a month to see if there's any announcements.
