Thrust is the axis most sim pilots manage worst, because it is usually the one still living on a keyboard or a slider. The VelocityOne Dual Throttle fixes that with two independent levers, a lock that joins them for single-engine aircraft, and 10-bit Hall-effect sensing giving over 1,000 input counts per axis.

Around the levers sit 35 programmable inputs and 7 axes in total, including a 10-bit base lever, a precision thumbstick, a textured wheel and a rear scroll wheel. That is enough to run flaps, trim, camera, speedbrake and weapon selection from the throttle hand alone, which is the whole argument for a dedicated throttle unit in the first place.

Detent cartridges swap out so the physical stop you feel at afterburner, idle or reverse thrust matches the aircraft, and lever tension adjusts separately. It works with any flight stick on Windows PC over its own USB connection, or with the VelocityOne Flightstick II for Xbox on Xbox through a pass-through connection.
