The two products in the same category with the closest price.
Lever count stated by WINCTRL.
Engine start becomes a flow instead of a click: lift the guard, master switch on, watch the engine come alive, then the other side. After that, the levers run the flight through the same gates the real airplane uses, and dual vibration modules driven by flight data add a buzz to the throttle.
Flying a Boeing-style add-on tonight? A one-touch no-detent mode turns the gates off, which WINCTRL pitches for PMDG-style aircraft. The shafts are read by contactless Hall sensors; WINCTRL says high resolution but gives no bit figure.
About 1.3 kg with a metal core and a die-cast aluminum baseplate, against 0.53 kg for the Thrustmaster. On a desk, that weight is welcome when you slam the levers to TO/GA.
One dated fact: on October 29, 2026, WINCTRL's US store listed it as transferring stock, pre-order only. Check the delivery date before you plan the first flight. Warranty is one year.
