Weighing in at more than 6.5 kg and using metal for the joystick, throttle handles and bases, the HOTAS WARTHOG™ joystick is physically imposing. When you take into account the 55 fully programmable action buttons and 2 four-direction hat switches, each with a built-in push button (the first joystick in the world to incorporate such a feature), it becomes clear that the HOTAS WARTHOG™ is in a class of its own. Very comprehensive controls It features 19 action buttons in total, plus one 8-way "point of view" hat: 1 x 8-way "point of view" hat, 2 x 8-way hats, 1 x 4-way hat with push button, 1 x metal dual trigger, 2 x push buttons, 2 x pinkie pushbuttons. The activation pressure of the buttons and triggers is identical to that required in an actual aircraft and is absolutely realistic. The super-stable stick weighs more than 3 kg, has a USB port and has upgradeable firmware.
