A new product has just emerged from hardware maker VIRPIL. Their new CDT-VMAX throttle is a companion to their larger and more expensive MongoosT-50 CM3 throttle and it gives VIRPIL and customers a new option in a busy hardware marketplace. Let’s have a look!
New Cadet Series
VIRPIL is announcing their new Cadet Series Dual Throttle Control System or CDT-VMAX Throttle. It has many of the features and construction of the MongoosT-50 CM3 throttle (I reviewed the CM3 not too long ago) while offering it up in a smaller cheaper package.
VIRPIL say that this is ideal for VR users and people with less desk space but I think it also has possible appeal thanks to a slightly more affordable regular price of $249.95 versus $399.95 for the full-up CM3. They’ve sweetened the deal with a promotional 13% off bringing it down to $217.95 USD on the US store with similar discounts at other storefronts too..
The dual throttle reportedly uses the same metal components as the more expensive offering and has the same quick access points to adjust throttle and auxiliary axis friction.
It has the following inputs:
4 x Momentary Push Buttons
3 x 4-Way Hats (+ Push)
1 x Analogue Ministick (+ Push)
2 x Axis Dials (+ Push)
2 x Throttle Axis
1 x Auxiliary Axis
1 x Programmable RGB LED

Available for pre-order now
A pre-order is on right now with VIRPIL announcing that they are going to be sending out the first orders in about 8-weeks. I also know from experience that if you miss the first order that VIRPIL are good at ultimately fulfilling their orders and that even the back-ordered message on their website tends to make for a short wait… most of the time!
Check it out on the North American store, EU store and UK storefronts!
