I've got the VKB pedals, and I'm so impressed with them. I've been looking into getting one of their sticks, preferably this one myself. I've got way too many hotas and mech keyboards already, but for VKB I'll make an exception and buy one more, as I'd really like to see if their sticks are as good as their pedals. From your previous posts on the Cobra stick Blade, they sure look accurate and precise. This one too from the 2nd vid too.
IIRC they don't make this stick anymore, the Black Mamba III, where did you find it if you don't mind me asking? I know the Cobra M5 costs about 1/3 of what the BM3 does. I assume you pre ordered it as this was a limited run, but if you found a source somewhere I'd love to hear from where so I can pick one off, I've had no luck finding one myself yet, and heard about the limited run only after it was done.
I really hope VKB ups their production and keeps making new stuff, maybe a throttle and a complete HOTAS system too - Jason who runs the VKB USA outfit is fantastic to deal with (He also runs the show at the company that created IL2 BOS and I think Rise of Flight as well).
Pic of the VKB pedals below, I have the MFG Crosswins and the Slaw 109 Cam model as well, all 3 are great and have their advantages, but I much prefer the VKB for precision due to just the ankle needing to move, like pressing the older CH non USB pedals back in the day, only even less motion is required. It's a bit of a PITA getting a toe brake function however, but again, their are +/- to all custom pedals. VKB's quality and impressive, and that's why I want to seek out one of their BM3 sticks, as it's their best product stick wise to date most likely.
