Bugeye Technologies Releases F-35 Desktop Stick and Throttle

Union, MO, September 23, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Bugeye Technologies’ new F-35-style desktop controls are designed for software application and development. Intended for lower fidelity training, these new controls are a durable, economic solution for training programs.

The FC0500 Linear Desktop Throttle Mechanism mirrors the F-35 throttle, including replicated grip, form, switch caps, movement and actuation. Compatible with Microsoft HID, the throttle interfaces with a Bugeye Standard USB Controller. The throttle features a smooth linear motion of 3.9 inches on linear bearing slides, and a friction set up to 5 pounds. Available for mounting in the desktop adaptor DTA, the throttle rises just about 6.5 inches off the desk, making it ergonomic and easy to store.

The FC0500 Universal Desktop Control Stick also mirrors the F-35, featuring replicated grip, form, switch caps, movement and actuation. The control stick interfaces with a Bugeye Standard USB controller. Control stick deflection is set up to 15 degrees, and force in pitch and roll are set to factory 8 to 10 pounds.
