I've clocked a couple of hundred hours in Elite Dangerous and its still holding up just as well as when I first got it. No real concerns with build quality just yet. Just started playing Evochron Legacy with this HOTAS after a break from using it for a year or so and have fallen back in love with playing with it. Decided to write this review.
Playing a game with this HOTAS transforms it entirely, makes mundane tasks like switching on lights and lowering landing gears feel alive and epic.
Good stuff:
- Great feeling materials. Nice resistance on the throttle.
- all Buttons are very tactile and clicky.
- Controls are easy enough to feel and locate when in VR, owed to them having unique shapes and textures
- Metal switches feel great and have mappable inputs for clicking both upwards and downwards with thoughtfully placed shielding bars on teh lower switches to prevent accidentally hitting them.
- At least two of the hats are 8 way and not just 4, i only just found this out recently!
- Sheer variety of different input types allow you to map controls to things that make sense and feel right.
- SO MANY BUTTONS.
Cons:
- some controls are a little hard to reach, can be a bit of a problem while in a fight.
- The tiny thumbsticks feel a little loose/weak and catch/feel a little scratchy when rotating around the edge.
- the latch that connects the two halves of the throttle can feel a little loose
