Honeycomb's new Echo Aviation controller looks wild
Honeycomb Aeronautical keeps cranking out wallet-friendly controllers for aspiring pilots, and with the Echo Aviation Controller, they've really taken aim at the more casual crowd. The genuinely clever controller doesn't look like anything else on the market and combines a traditional gamepad with all sorts of flight-sim-specific switches and levers.
Honeycomb has somehow managed to squeeze in all kinds of controls for trimming engines, managing throttle, or fine-tuning other cockpit systems. Crazy? Absolutely. But at the same time it's hard not to get curious about trying it out.
The Echo Aviation can be connected to a PC via USB-C or by using the included wireless dongle. And naturally, Echo Aviation will support all the popular games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, and seems aimed at those who want a more authentic experience, without having to invest in a collection of yokes, quadrants, or pedals.
The Echo Aviation Controller launches in December and comes with a $150 price tag, which definitely seems pretty reasonable and will no doubt elevate the experience beyond what you can get from a traditional controller.
Tempted?
