Compact Desktop Joystick • Full-Metal Dual-Cam Gimbal • Adjustable Grip Offset • Lockable Twist Axis • Clutch Dampers

The Virpil Controls CDT AEROMAX R is a premium desktop joystick from the new CADET series, designed for sim pilots who want high-end precision and modular expandability in a compact form factor. Featuring a full-metal gimbal, customisable damping, and VPC’s advanced digital sensor system, this stick delivers professional-level performance without requiring a cockpit mount.

Full-Metal Precision Gimbal

No plastic. No compromises.
The AEROMAX R uses a full-metal dual-cam gimbal, providing:

• Smooth, uniform centering forces on all axes

• Zero flex and maximum durability

• Superior precision compared to typical desktop-grade mechanisms

Perfect for pilots who demand accurate, repeatable control inputs.

Individually Adjustable Clutch Dampers

Fine-tune axis resistance exactly to your preference.
Each axis features its own clutch-style damper, allowing you to define:

• Softer movement for helicopter or space-flight micro-control

• Firmer resistance for fast jets or high-speed manoeuvres

• Anything in between

This ensures a uniquely refined, highly controlled flight experience.

High-Resolution VPC Digital Sensors

The AEROMAX R uses contactless sensors offering:

• 14-bit resolution

• Up to 0.02° angular detection

• Long-term, wear-free operation

Every tiny stick input is captured with absolute accuracy.

Adjustable Grip Offset – Perfect for Center or Side Stick Use

The grip can be shifted and aligned with a stepless offset adjustment, ideal for:

• Center-mounted desktop setups

• Side-stick layouts

• Ergonomic customization tailored to your posture

Lockable Twist Axis

The built-in twist (Z-) axis can be:

• Used for rudder input, or

• Locked entirely for pilots using pedals

This makes the stick perfectly adaptable to any simulation style.

Modular Upgrade Path

Enhance your setup with optional AEROMAX throttle side-modules, mountable:

• On the left

• On the right

• Or both sides simultaneously

Create a compact HOTAS or dual-throttle configuration without needing extra desk space.

Plug & Play + Deep Software Customisation

Connect via USB and start flying immediately—no drivers required.
Using the VPC Config Suite, you can customise:

• Button assignments

• Virtual axes

• Shift states

• Advanced profiles

Ideal for complex aircraft, space simulators, and multi-role configurations.
