9/10 VPC Constellation ALPHA Grip
Premium-tier buyers building a no-compromise mirrored HOSAS who want the deepest on-grip control set.
Virpil's go-to twin-stick grip and the premium HOSAS standard, available in dedicated left and right variants so you can build a true mirrored pair. It is dense with inputs — a dual-stage trigger, dual-position flip trigger, analog ministick, three 4-way hats, a 2-way hat, three momentary buttons, a contactless-sensor brake lever and a scroll encoder — plus a lockable contactless twist axis and programmable RGB. Build quality is exceptional, with a metal flip trigger and brake lever. It is a grip only; pair it with a Virpil base.
