The Echo Aviation Controller XPC, designed specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator, is now available for reservation on the Honeycomb website. The device is priced at $179.99 in the United States and €179.99 in the European market.
The controller is officially licensed for Xbox and is also compatible with PC. It integrates key features from the Alpha flight yoke, Bravo throttle quadrant, and Charlie rudder pedals into a single handheld unit.
The hardware features 16-bit tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) sticks for pitch and roll control, along with Hall-effect rudder paddles that support automatic centering. It also includes four sliders with detents for managing throttle, flaps, and spoilers.
Users can customize the slider caps to match the control layouts of general aviation or commercial aircraft. Additional controls include a textured trim wheel, a hat switch for perspective adjustments, and dedicated levers for flaps, landing gear, and parking brakes.
The controller supports both wired USB and wireless connectivity. It charges via USB-C and offers a battery life of up to 15 hours. Official sales are scheduled to begin on November 20, with subsequent releases planned for other regions.
