There's a brand name that comes up fairly often on flight sim forums when discussions turn to controllers, and it's VKB. Its modular approach to flight sim peripherals means you can swap in and out various bases, grips, throttle controls and add-ons to create a plethora of potential flight controllers, and as a result, it's a company that has become highly regarded among those who take this sort of thing seriously. Difficult customers to impress, no doubt.
What I found truly impressive, however, was the size of the box that reached my door when I asked to review one. Rather than receiving a basic model, I was instead astonished to unbox a dizzying array of components that are designed to fit together in different ways for different sim experiences.
