I tested Microsoft Flight Simulator with this entry-level throttle quadrant from Honeycomb — the Bravo Lite is ideal for newcomers with smart control choices

Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant Lite on a marble desk highlighting individual parts.

Honeycomb Aeronautical recently switched up its corporate workings, but its products clearly still strive for the same quality. That much was clear when I met with the team to see prototypes of new hardware, including the Bravo Lite, in the second half of 2025. If you're familiar with the excellent Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttle, then this Lite variant should look extremely familiar.

They're a combination of simplification and a push towards affordability that can help newcomers and intermediates pick up a sturdy peripheral that promotes simulator immersion, whether that's in Microsoft Flight Simulator or otherwise. In the same vein as Honeycomb's Foxtrot flight stick that won my highest praise, I knew I'd feel similarly about the Bravo Lite when I got it home.
