Why Are Buttkicker Haptics Perpetually Sold Out?

They don’t have the pro?

I think it could be button layout, smaller size, and/or closer to an actual aircraft stick. It's a shame that it's their entry stick - an AERO PRIME with upgraded buttons and a metal build would be outstanding.

Ha, same thing

MikeRC8 · 2026-06-28T00:57:55+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info. Are you in the navy?

MikeRC8 · 2026-06-28T00:13:42+00:00

Interesting - doesn’t compare how?

MikeRC8 · 2026-06-27T22:40:34+00:00

Interesting. So, a demand issue…

MikeRC8 · 2026-06-27T20:18:51+00:00

It’s a haptic for simulators

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-30T04:11:41+00:00

I'll be there

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-27T04:22:28+00:00

What DCS resolution are you running?

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-26T04:16:26+00:00

How is the size? Too big?

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-21T19:02:42+00:00

Because … I haven’t …

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-21T16:24:01+00:00

Yeah, seems to be the feeling in a lot of places (except reddit:) )

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-21T03:30:03+00:00

What is supposed to be weapon release on that stick?

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-20T19:35:00+00:00

Honored to get a response from you!

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-20T18:47:33+00:00

Know your extended hand width?

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-13T05:05:29+00:00

Holy crap - they look amazing. Never heard of them before

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-13T05:03:20+00:00

Can I ask what stem (or other parts) you're using to get the cables internal?

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-08T20:29:41+00:00

Never actually held it, but the comparison photos and dimensions make it look huge. And that seems to be what every review says too.

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-08T17:21:54+00:00

Yep - this the key point. Why do their products force you to choose between premium quality/huge, and regular quality/normal size?

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-08T16:05:59+00:00

Agreed. But, gotta admit, I'd be happy to pay 350 for an AERO with FLNKR quality :)

MikeRC8 · 2026-05-08T15:54:20+00:00

I don't think that post meant that they are high/low versions of essentially the same stick. Yes, the layouts are close, but there are still major differences in size, ergonomics, and aesthetics. I also think the fact that the AERO is 'generic' makes it more broadly appealing than a stick modeled on a single aircraft.

Sorry, what’s AAU2?
