Reason i went with it was the other benefits it gave, but coming from the gladiator the mcgu feels cold in the hand
PI wrote it wrong sorry, I don't like that TYPE of plastic
BYou're supposed to hold it, not eat it.

Pthe alpha prime gave me a different feeling, it seemed more solid, with the cm2 I had a better feeling with the grip but the plastic felt like one of those €2 Chinese toys. I'll point out, it's a personal opinion.
TInteresting. I actually like the cold metal of the MCGU. But I agree that it would lead to more work for the motors. Part of the reason I went DIY with the 8604 motors.
BI'm not so sure about the weight argument.
From googling the tm f16 grip is 350 grams, the listed weight for the cm2 is 340grams, I'll chuck mine on a scale when i get home but yeah, I wouldn't worry about weight difference.
For me the virpil costs $50 less and has significantly more buttons to bind giving increased flexibility.

FWell the mcgu has a direct plastic counterpart
BPut my cm2 on the scale now, and it clocks in at 356g.
A350 sounds very low for tm f16 grip
Aif I had to guess I'd say it's something like 3 times the weight of the cm2
Aof the top of my head, winwing f-16 grip and mcgu are soemthing like 600g, Cougar / Warthog are about 1kg
BYeah, not going to put too much stock in my googling there.
Excusably I did it on my phone while waiting for my fried chicken.

JI think TM f16 grip is about 1kg
AI could just weigh a cougar, but to do that I'd have to find my scale, find batteries for it and then touch a cougar
BCougars tend to be real touchy about their weight as well.
JDepends who's weighing them 
Abasically TM just decided to make them as heavy as possible with minimal structural strength
Awinwing and mcgu are aluminum and they are just about over half the weight of the couthog at about 600g
BNever owned the warthog stick, but did have the throttle.
Not especially impressed as all the weight and heft to it came from the two steel bottom plates and lead weights bolted to them.
Everything else was cheap fragile plastic and glue, lots and lots of glue.

BIts not a bad throttle by any means, but it doesn't compare well when measured up against virpil or even winwing.
Amine has lasted for over a decade so can't complain too much
Acould be better
Abeen checking out what others have to offer and I think they're probably better, but not enough to justify the switch
Athe new hyper taurus might be if it has motors
BI've got an orion 2 and the very first gen virpil throttle, so can't really say i need replacement there.
BBut I would be intrigued to diy one, if I could just get a spot ready where i could some diy.
MEven the super taurus is miles ahead of the TMWH throttle, just good luck getting one these days lol. I'm excited to see what the hyper taurus can do/looks like, but WW software has always sucked ass, so any FFB functionality might be... not great
BOr have "issues".
FIm intrigued in a throttle based vpforce
FWith the detent system we have now i wonder if itd work okay
BMy throttle works, but last i checked never showed up in the software as its on a hub.
So to do anything with it configuration wise I would have to move it over to the actually computer.
Thats on the other side of a wall and its fully bolted down on my 150lbs pit.

DI have a TM F-16 (UK Edition, not even sure what that means) coming to replace the TM F-18 grip I have now. I just figured the F-16 grip is more versatile and should work better for A-10 and F-4E even though I like the F-18 one for the F-15E module.
LSuper Taurus, in my opinion, mechanically is the best throttle out there.
CI love my Super Taurus
Cthe startup panel is kind of useless because they were so specific with it, so even if you're using it for the hornet there are really only maybe half a dozen switches that will get any real use, and there are no extra buttons on it at all, so most of the switches on the panel are just unused for me. The throttle itself is excellent, though.
Iin my case the problem are the buttons
PYou’re right

Tohh boy, #0588 is rapidly approaching 
Cno way #1234 is kinda close
C
Ait could happen any moment now
R#1150 is closer, hehe
RBut your number is cooler
Mlol
Mthe X Y axis are potentiometers or hall effect?
MThey use the motor's encoders
MWhat is connector type for potentiometers on vpforce board?
