Great joystick!

The Aero Grip fits my small right hand very well; I raised the rest really easily, and it had a quite solid feel. I had the VPC warBRD - D as the base and changed the clamps to a gentler action, which turned out to be perfect for my requirements. There was no advice on how the Aero grip should be aligned in the War BRD, but I viewed a couple of pictures to check the alignment, and it was fine after that. The only criticism I have is with the bottom of the War BRD, where I had screwed the extended base, and it was "wobbly". I resolved the issue by putting Velcro on each of the four corners so it would stick to the desk, which levelled out the base and gave me a solid joystick to fly.

Nice for WWII sims

I play WWII sims pretty much exclusively. This has been the right choice for me so far. Has all the buttons and features I need.

Fantastic fighter stick

I've got almost every VIrpil stick and this is such a great addition to my setups. Small, great quality and tons of inputs and even better when using the slider as mode switch

Disappointed.

This is my third VIRPIL product and my first in 7 years. I own a delta grip and a Mongoost T-50 CM throttle. I could say the quality in plastics has dropped significantly. The new grip is squeaky, plasticy, and feels cheap to the touch when compared to my old Delta grip. The Plastic on the delta is so hard it feels i can hammer nails with it. The plastic on the throttle is also hard as a rock. The Areo grip on the other hand is so thin it starts to squeak as soon as i barely touch it. All the rest including ergonomics, design and buttons are of course much better then on the Delta. Both are entry grips, so this is not an excuse. I am willing to return it and pay more just to have the same grip but with the old/better plastics.

Perfect replacement for my TM cougar grip. Since i have small hands this grip feels good. Also weight reduction on ffb base decreased pendular effect and i feel more detailed force feedback.

Versatile stick option

absolutely awesome grip at a great price. Much smaller than my alpha and MT50cm Grip so it's much better for my smaller hands. the offset brake lever is way better and having the pinky button as a grip paddle makes it easier to activate.

Not quite as comfortable as WarBRD grip

It's a good grip but I feel as though its overall size is a bit too large, and I have large hands. Some of the new buttons are not place in ideal locations and it causes me to "hunt" for them. I know that would just take time to get used to but the overall size of the grip makes my hand feel fatigued. Also, after having used a WarBRD grip for a few years, I find the hats on this new grip to require significantly more force, for it to register.

I might just switch back to my WarBRD grip and deal with the 1 faulty hat I have on that, which doesn't always register.

Excellent grip! Button placements are intuitive and have a good feel.
