- Review: Coming from the Saitek system this is a while other level. The yoke is smooth and feels like a real plan. And the throttles are realistically represented. Highly recommended for hardcore simmers. Not recommend (based on price) for new beginners.

- Review: Works perfectly! Use it all the time now whenever I fly on X-Plane 11. I wanted to fly on the VATSIM network but was scared that the mouse yoke would be too hard to control. With this, it makes it easier to maintain control and still be able to use switches while moving. Definitely can't wait for the Bravo Throttle Quadrant to come back in stock.

- Review:
Just an update to my other review. I also wanted to run XPLANE11 on LINUX. You can do that but Honeycomb flight controls are conflicting with my mouse and even after plugging in one item at a time and configuring, was only able to get the Yoke to work. The throttles were not configurable at all. Even my Saitek rudder peddles were conflicting with the mouse (an interrupt conflict of some sort). Until they create a driver for LINUX, I'll have to stay with WINDOWS (I was using WIN7).
Since I don't have WIN7, now I will have to take computer back to the store and have them re install at a cost of $50 or so. One other thing I should mention is that you cannot run XPLANE11 at all on a Linux system unless you load drivers for your video card. In this case, XPLANE11 would only work with keyboard input.
XPLANE11 does work with LINUX but make sure you can load linux drivers for your video card AND get use flight controls that have LINUX drivers as well. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 16 Other people found this review helpful.

Revolutionising My Simming Experience
- By DAVID from Hollywood FL USA on Saturday, November 02, 2019
- Pros: The quality of the build - metal rod is sturdy. The rubberised grip feels solid, even the plastic that is used on the yoke is not 'hollow' or flimsy in feel or movement. It is also secure to my desk, even without the clamps - the sticky pad really does keep it all in place. I can tell why there is a 5 year warranty on this - you can tell the manufacturer knows how well it has been constructed and that warranty can only give the customer confidence that this product will outlast anything in it's price range, or slightly higher. It is proof you do not need to spend $1500 on a yoke to get a sound product.
- Cons: If there is a con at all, and it is very slight indeed, I was expecting perhaps a bit more resistance in the roll of the yoke. It is wonderful that it has a full range of motion, I just thought perhaps it might have a small bit of pull to it, when trying to move the ailerons. That said it isn't a deal breaker WHATSOEVER.
- Review:
Firstly the yoke came in excellent condition, survived shipping, and was packed to prevent damage.
I have been a simmer for 20 years but wasn't as serious as many. I just like to fly around and see the sights, and hopefully land and live. I literally used a keyboard and mouse the ENTIRE TIME, for various (lazy?) reasons. I always intended to put down the money for proper kit but never quite did. This made flying difficult, or I should say flying properly, difficult.
Well, no more. While I waited quite a while to have a sim that would run good old FSX without too much lag, now that I have a system that can easily handle it I no longer had the excuse to not invest in a quality yoke.
I can't say enough how revolutionizing the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke has been for me. I was overjoyed with its build and feel - pleasantly surprised at the push and pull power needed to move it - and it has made my simming experience one of pleasure rather than work. With this in mind, and the throttle quadrant on the horizon, I am ready to take this whole hobby a whole lot more serious.

Hard Pressed to Find Equivalent or Better
- By Tim from Matthews NC USA on Tuesday, March 28, 2023
- Pros: Quality and physical robustness
- Cons:
- Review: Just because a product does what it is supposed to do does not make it a five star. What makes it a five star is that it does just what it is supposed to do AND it has a level of quality unsurpassed from what I could find. This is more than just a Yoke. I can start my sim experience from ground zero - Turn-On Master Switches and Avionics and see the cockpit come to life. Then I can turn on the engine(s). Then I turn on other lights etc. After landing, one can do just the reverse. It feels real and helps me with my checklist steps. Beyond all that is the level of quality of the Flight Yoke. I have it clamped down onto my desk and have to admit, there have been times when it helps. The yoke feels good in the hand, turns 180 degrees and is smoothly responsive very similar to when I "really fly". One can calibrate both axis' (I haven't needed to).

Night and day
- By Jeff from Maineville, OH on Wednesday, March 24, 2021
- Pros: Solid construction. Great value. Lots of customization options.
- Cons: Elevator is a little stiff, control for led is in a weird spot on the back.
- Review: Relatively new to serious flight Sim, actually had the option for either logitech of honeycomb out of the gate and took logitech. The 180 degree inflection over logitech's 90 is worth the upgrade alone but there's so much more. No dead zone at all, completely mappable switches and buttons and a lot of them. Premium feel to the yoke. It's a lot of fun.

AMAZING YOKE!!!
- By Joe from Puyallup, WA on Thursday, October 31, 2019
- Pros: Buttery Smooth
- Cons: Havent found one yet
- Review:
Coming from the Saitek pro flight yoke, this one is like night and day. The roll on the Honeycomb is buttery smooth. There are no detents compared to the saitek. I have a Stay level Aviation flight panel, so the only thing is, I had to adapt the honeycomb for it, since the cutout was made for the saitek. Also, having the switch panel is awesome, since my saitek switch panel dies recently. If you fly X-plane 11, you will have to re-do the switches in the xplane setup because they don't match.
I love this yoke and the fact that it has full 90 degree rotation is awesome!!!!! If you are on the fence, just jump!!! Go and get it, you wont be disappointed. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 12 Other people found this review helpful.

Hard Pressed to Find Equivalent or Better
- By Tim - Happy Simmer NC from Matthews NC USA on Tuesday, March 28, 2023
- Pros: Quality and physical robustness, Smooth and responsive, calibratable, Additional Control Switches, and feels real.

- Pros: Easy setup. Great feel.

- Review: After watching tons of reviews and doing lots of research, I decided to order the Alpha Flight Yoke. It took me a few flights to get used to it, but I will not fly without it anymore. The quality is very good, especially for the price point. The switches are solid feeling and the yoke is super smooth. I have no dead spots whatsoever. I reccomend this yoke to anyone looking to purchase their first yoke.

The Honeycomb brand is pure quality.
- By RLEWIS from Milwaukee, WI on Friday, April 30, 2021
- Pros: Quality/Easy Setup
- Cons: Can't think of anything bad to say of this product
- Review: Bought the Honeycomb yoke a month ago. This was part of a migration from ELITE flight simulator, which I had for many years. I'm using X plane 11 now and all I can say is, Wow! For a fraction of the price, the simulation experience is more realistic than with ELITE. X plane recognizes the controls right away, then you have to program some of the switches and that's it. I programmed the toggle switches on the left side of the yoke and started flying right away. I'll program the rest once I figure out what's needed. Thank you to mypilotstore.com for notifying me when the yoke became available. Came to me well packaged and cheaper than the resellers prices on Amazon.

THE BEST YOKE ON THE MARKET!
- By A Customer on Wednesday, November 18, 2020
- Pros: Everything about this yoke is a work of art and made with quality in mind!
- Cons: Unable to find any!
- Review: This HAS to be the best yoke ever created and I’m now happily flying with it in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020! It’s truly enjoyable to use and I love all of the switches and features added with it. I’m waiting for the throttle quadrant to become available so that I can use the Honeycomb products together simultaneously for the best MFS2020 experience I could imagine!

AMAZING FLIGHT YOKE!
- By Daniel from Northeast FL USA on Wednesday, January 15, 2020
- Pros: QUALITY BUILD, easy to hook up - NO problems!
- Cons: None...except that I have a LONG way to go before I feel proficient in more complex aircraft than the C-172.
- Review:
I am in a funny situation - my 16 year old son is in training for his PPL and, although I would love to get mine, I don't think it would be a good move with Embry-Riddle tuition and flight training costs coming up!
I bought the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke to have something to share with him. Before I bought it I tried several other yokes and this is by FAR the most consistent and solid of all the ones I have tried. Having the switch panel adds another level of realism to the flight simulator (X-Plane 11) and the quality of the build is GREAT! MUCH better than the steering wheel and pedals we got for the racing games!
In my opinion, I find this yoke to be built to a much higher standard than the others and that contributes to a really positive experience for both of us - yeah, he spends a LOT of time using it and has nothing but positive comments for it! - Was this review helpful to you?

No Yoke about it.
- By Shayne from Sherwood Park AB Canada on Wednesday, January 22, 2020
- Pros: Realistic feel and layout.
- Cons: Had to order a new throttle quadrant with a USB plug.
- Review: I am a recreational Flight Sim aficionado. For a number of years I used the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke and I thought it was the best. Don't get me wrong the Saitek is a wonderful flight yoke and has served me well. When the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke hit the market I ordered one. Well what a difference. The new flight yoke actually feels like you are doing something. There is a tension within the unit that offers resistance to the inputs when flying creating a more realistic Flight Sim experience. Pilot friends have tried it and were very impressed with it's realistic feel. The controls are smoother to operate. The layout of the buttons resemble the real thing. Great product.

This yoke is miles ahead (nautical miles of course) of my Saitek yoke. 180 degree (90 each way) turn on the roll axis, there's a good amount of resistance on the pitch axis and the quality of the material, mount and design is a great value for <$250. Highly recommend this for flight simmers.

- By A Customer on Thursday, December 03, 2020
- Pros: Realistic, high quality, very useful
- Cons: Pitch effort high
- Review: I have almost 150 hours on this yoke on MSFS2020 and I am completely satisfied. The trim switches are a bit stiffer than a real yoke and the pitch effort is a bit higher than expected, but it's something you get used to quickly. Ordered the Bravo throttles in July...hopefully they will be here soon to complete the package!

- By Travis from Borger TX USA on Wednesday, November 13, 2019
- Pros: Excellent build quality, beautiful finish, near perfect amount of additional switch control for general aviation aircraft. Perfect 90 turn radius. Pitch tension is good.
- Cons: The pitch tension can be a little stiff. If not not electronic forced feedback then maybe a way to adjust that tension.
- Review: The worst part about this product was the pre-order and having to wait for it to be available to ship. Since receiving it, it has been amazing. By for the best yoke on the market for the money and priced very reasonably for what you get. It would be cool to see a forced feedback option and a second ignition switch for twin engine use.

- By Richard from Marana AZ USA on Tuesday, December 10, 2019
- Pros: So far everything works as described in their advertising.

- Review:
This is a purely an amateur review and I have not had a chance to use the yoke extensively. I can't compare it to the expensive yokes because I can't afford them. It is much smoother and more accurate than my CH yoke.
The mounting was very easy, I didn't have to glue the back half down to keep it from tipping forward and when you get the Throttle, it will be easy to move. This Yoke has exceeded my expectations. My only problem was the view hat is on the left and I was used to it being on the right. But that was a very small problem that I am quickly getting used to and I think that I actually like it better. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 3 Other people found this review helpful.

This Yoke is so good, it don't even need the switches to be first class. The switches are a Plus. It has a good feel and so much more pleasant than using just a stick. I do like sticks for my F-18, but most of my flying is GA planes. This Yoke is made well and don't feel cheap like others I have owned before.

After using the CH Products entry level yoke for years, I am still adjusting to the back pressure when not trimmed. I could hold the back pressure with little effort whereas now it requires greater effort. Transitions to other little things like having the hat button on the left, rather than the right hasn’t been much of a deal.
Be prepared to buy a throttle set. I purchased the cheapest throttle I could find while I am waiting for the Beta Throttle set.
Overall, the Alpha Yoke adds to the immersion while simming

- Pros: Good precision, responsive controls, feels good in the hands.
- Cons: USB C Power connector could become temperamental in time.
- Review: I have used both Saitek's Pro Flight Yoke and the new Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke and I feel this flight yoke is much more precise, made with better quality and is more responsive for use with MSFS2020. I am by no means a real pilot, but I feel that I could conceivably learn how to fly and handle aircraft with this flight yoke. I am very impressed. My Only concern is the durability of the power cord which connects via USB C cable. It seems this could become a little temperamental with time. But overall I give this a 5/5!

It works perfectly and gives excellent immersion. I cannot wait for the throttle control to be available if this is the quality Honeycomb produces.

- Cons: Better documentation on how to setup in MS 2020 but I don't think it is a Honeycomb issue.
- Review: The yoke is solid and feels great in the hand. I love the switches because it makes it more immersive. Build quality is incredible. Mounting system is easy to setup and once locked, it does not move. I highly recommend.

Worth the money
- By A Customer on Tuesday, October 06, 2020
- Pros: Precise, sturdy, additional switch panel
- Cons: No mounting holes, roll axis to light.
- Review: Worth the money. Much better than my previous Saitek Yoke and CH yokes. Precision for me is great and the included built in switch panel is fine. My only complaints are the roll axis feels a little too light and I wish it had mounting holes. I would prefer to have the option to bolt it down rather than use the sticky plate which works ok, or the brackets which are very sturdy but a little bulky.

Great affordable Upgrade Yoke.
- By Eric from Barrigada GU USA on Tuesday, October 13, 2020
- Pros: Smooth feeling, precision, nice look, high quality.
- Cons: Nothing really
- Review: I started out with the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke and it was a great yoke and still is for the price. I upgraded to the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and I just fell in love with the feel and resistance it has. It feels very sold compared to the Saitek and smoother.

I can't believe you'd pay more for anything else. Amazing value
- By Ralph from Raleigh NC USA on Tuesday, October 20, 2020
- Pros: Very attractive and realistic
- Cons: Hard to get
- Review: If bought new. Used these things have gotten quite costly. Probably shows how great they are. Design is sleek, realistic, and feels like quality. A piece of art as well as functional

Well worth the price!
- By Flightman777 from Dallas, TX USA on Thursday, February 18, 2021
- Pros: Accurate Yoke. Smooth wide degree turns and altitude changes - much better than competing yokes. Rugged mounting hardware keeps stability during flight.
- Cons: Price
- Review: The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke and Switch Panel was worth the wait and is worth every penny! The mounting hardware is incredibly rugged and stable. The yoke itself is smooth and accurate, with a nice red backlight which isn't bright or distracting - just right!

Best yoke I've owned
- By Randy from San Francisco, ca on Thursday, December 05, 2019
- Pros: Solid feel, quality materials and construction.
- Cons: None yet.
- Review: This is by far the best yoke I have owned. Has a solid feel like the real thing. Buttons and switches don't feel cheap like on other yokes I have used. Highly recommend.

Huge improvement from an X-Box controller
- By HP from Fernandina Beach FL USA on Thursday, February 18, 2021
- Pros: Just worked with MSFT Flight Sim
- Cons: needed something stronger then a card table to set it up on :)
- Review: Love it, just waiting for the throttles that match to become available next!! Not a ton of experience with other yolks, but this one is setting the bar high for me.

- Review: This is the first flight yoke I've ever used and I really enjoy it. Pricey, but it seems to be extremely well made and I had no problems getting it set up within MSFS. A very quality product for what you pay, in my opinion. Highly recommended.

AWESOME
- By Eric Mayers on Wednesday, October 30, 2019
- Pros: Very well made
- Cons: None
- Review:
Really a great unit. I had been using the Logitech Yoke. Really no comparison between the two. Well made and very precise. Give a true yoke feel.
Can't wait for the throttle quadrant to come out. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 0 Other people found this review helpful.

- Pros: Very Good
- Cons: none
- Review: Honeycomb yoke is very PRO. Works very well with XPlane 11. Works Flight sim2020. But not as well. X Plane is the way to go.

Equally competes with $1000+ Joysticks
- By Joseph Bush from Arizona on Wednesday, October 14, 2020
- Pros: Well built, smooth transition through each of the axis of flight, very realistic installed in the right panel.
- Cons: See what it lacked above in comments
- Review:
I grant 5 stars because thus far it met my expectations and works with what I have at this point.
Love About it/Where it Excelled: The Alpha joystick is the best joystick I have ever owned! Most everything needed to practice at home is at your command. I have nothing to comment on about the Alpha that would undermine the joystick's performance.
The thumb buttons, trim tabs, light switches, and master switch function as they should; but the Avionics selector BUS2 switch does not function on the MFD or secondary glass display.
What's it lacked: Fuel Pump switch, Pitot Heat switch, cabin power switch (for some aircraft) and stand-by battery (STBY BATT) On, Off, Test switch. Some of these switches and buttons may be programmed on the Honeycomb Bravo throttle system I ordered on 3 August 2020, but I haven't received; it yet due to the huge demand and back order. - Was this review helpful to you?

Best upgrade to my sim cockpit!
- By TB on Sunday, February 16, 2020
- Pros: Easy to set up and use
- Cons: None!
- Review: Exceeded my expectations by far. Sturdy, feels like the real thing, easy to program, worked right out of the box. No complicated set-up. Looking forward to the release of the throttle quadrant!
