Honeycomb Echo Aviation Controller: I am ready to take flight in 2026
Let’s keep it a buck - Mario is still iconic but how about leveling up and going the extra mile with the gaming goals in 2026? How about going sky-high with the Honeycomb Echo Aviation Controller demanding much more than button-crunching to take you to the blue heavens? Oh yes.
Honeycomb Echo Aviation Controller is game-changing
Precision flight controls? You bet. Whether you’re stationary at home or want to explore the skies on the go and across the globe. Peep the deets.
Honeycomb® Aeronautical, a leading name in professional-grade flight simulation hardware, announced today that their groundbreaking Echo Aviation Controller, a unique new controller designed specifically for flight simulation on PC, has begun shipping worldwide, and is now available to purchase all over the globe.
Since its announcement a month ago, the Echo Aviation Controller has been making waves within the flight simulation community. Now aviation enthusiasts will be able to take to the skies wherever they choose - be that on the train, on a flight, or wherever they can perch a laptop. With an entire cockpit of controls crammed into one unit, flight simulation is now accessible to a whole new audience of flight fanatics.
While it may look like a regular gamepad, the Echo Aviation Controller offers an astonishing range of nuanced controls in a controller footprint, which allows for quick, effortless flight wherever you choose to take to the skies. It’s also fully compatible with Microsoft® Flight Simulator™ on PC, as well as other flight simulation software.The Echo Aviation Controller requires no separate hardware, and combines pitch, roll, yaw, throttle, trim and core aircraft systems into one unit, offering total control over whichever aircraft you choose to fly. It features a precision analog Thumbstick with Hall Effect sensors for pitch and roll and provides smooth responsive movement, delivering full elevator and aileron input. The integrated four Throttle Levers and Trim Wheel are all independently assignable, accommodating both single and multi-engine aircraft. On the back of the controller lies a specialised Hall Effect Rudder Paddle System featuring paddles which move in opposition to accurately simulate rudder input, providing remarkably realistic control with no need for external pedals.
When using the Echo Aviation Controller, flight simmers will have all essential flight controls within their hands without the need for complex keyboard mapping - something that can often snap pilots out of the immersion of their journey. Physical controls for landing gear, flaps and parking brake will be at their fingertips leaving them ready to soar.
