The Honeycomb Echo is solidly constructed all around. The ergonomics are great. Feels good in the hand. The button and switch clicks and the slider motions are all solid. The carry case is equal in quality.

I find the thumb stick to be too small and to use with fixed wing aircraft compared to a traditional joystick, but it is light on the touch and good for use with rotary wing aircraft.

One thing to watch out for: the controller goes to sleep after 10 minutes of no input. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable this, even in Windows. The problem with this is that when it takes a nap, random aircraft controls will very often change spontaneously. This may be something Honeycomb can fix or it may be an MSFS issue. In any event, for me it makes the controller unusable for long flights on AP where I may be away from the computer for stretches at a time.

I am very happy with this product and would highly recommend it for any flightsimmer.

Awesome controller! I’ve been using it for a while and it’s great for setting up flights in your desktop while doing other things without the need of getting all my sim gear in and out of my desk.

I upgraded to the Bravo and it’s Great!!

It’s a must have!!!

Worked as advertised. Holds the throttle assembly securely under the desk leaving me with more desk space above.

In my review of the Alpha yoke, I mentioned that I was excited to try the Bravo. And, oh boy, did I have every right to be.

Just to clarify everything up front. I exclusively fly the Cessna 172 G1000 on X-Plane 12 on my Fedora 44 KDE desktop (Linux).

One thing that I was unaware of when I got this throttle unit for my setup was the need for a plugin to make everything work (All the lighting for the AP panel and annunciator panel plus the functions for the knobs and buttons on the AP panel) I used the plugin from Isaac Gelado. After setting everything up (which was pretty easy), it all worked beautifully. But the Isaac Gelado plugin only covers a handful of aircraft, none of which are RG aircraft, so I cannot verify the function of the landing gear indicator lights.

That being said, I am absolutely smitten. I am actually in love with the Bravo. All of the features this thing comes with for only $300 are absolutely rock solid. The AP panel is stellar, the annunciator panel is really cool, the switches are great, the trim wheel is fantastic, the throttle axes and tension knob are incredible, the GA and commercial levers it comes with are nice, the build quality is acceptable, the mount is magnificent.

If I had to gripe about something, it would be the trim wheel. It's extremely precise, meaning you have to spin the hell out of that thing before you actually notice a change in trim, but that might just be an issue with the software I'm using. The most recent flight I did, I was trimming my aircraft for approach when something happened. I really should have used the trim switches on the Alpha, but the trim wheel is so fun to use. So I was cranking that trim wheel something fierce, when the sound and feel changed suddenly. It's hard to describe, but the whirring noise that the trim whell makes when spinning it super fast almost disappeared completely, and the friction increased slightly. It still works, but not as well. I don't know what I broke exactly, but I broke something. The lesson I learned was to not abuse the trim wheel so much. But I think it could have been built a little better. I know I'm nitpicking a throttle that has a lot of features for its price, but I would have payed an extra $50 for some more quality.

Aside from breaking the trim wheel, this thing is an absolute unit for the price. It's legitimately a really cool piece of gear. I highly recommend it because there just isn't anything else like it.

Great hardware, but it needs more software. I'd love to be able to install profiles for specific planes rather than just starting at generic and going through and configuring each control.
But to be able to just grab it and fly is fantastic.

Really nice, flexible and intuitive controller for every kind of flying.

I like the new addition to my Bravo Throttle set. It makes the setup look and feel more comfortable.

So nice to have all the flight controls in one hand-held unit. It saves me from having to swap my sim racing controls for flight controls every time I want to switch.

Absolutely awesome!!! And the Support is Great!!!

Shipping Information from Honeycomb : Very Bad

Service and Reply to emails : Very bad.

Controller : Its a nicely made Controller. Buttons are nice and clicky. Takes a little time to pair and get it ready as per your liking.

I have flown PMDG 777 without FD and Autopilot and Auto throttle, pure raw data and it was fun. The thrust levers , occasionally using speed brakes and flaps and gear , it was fun.

You may want to tweak the sensitivity to match your flying abilities with a Controller.

I am happy

Great controller! I use it for GA airplanes. Easy to configure.

Very pleased.

I am very happy with the new lever, but VERY unhappy that I had to replace one in the first place. The reverser stopped working, which is what I bought one. You make a great product, but I was disappointed with the initial failure.
