Virpil Controls VMAX Prime Throttle

Premium Dual-Engine Throttle • Full-Metal Construction • Contactless Axes • Modular Detent System • Up to 49 Programmable Inputs

The Virpil Controls VMAX Prime Throttle is built for sim pilots who demand absolute precision, reliability, and configurability in their cockpit. Designed to replicate the feel and functionality of modern aircraft throttles, the VMAX Prime delivers exceptional control thanks to dual contactless axes, a modular detent system, and a robust metal construction.

Whether you fly airliners, multiengine jets, military aircraft, or advanced space-sims, this throttle provides the responsiveness and customisation needed for high-level simulation.

Dual Contactless Axes – Precision Without Wear

Both throttle levers use contactless sensor technology, ensuring:

• Ultra-smooth axis movement

• No mechanical wear

• Long-term accuracy

• Zero jitter or signal degradation

The dual-axis setup allows full control over multi-engine aircraft, including independent thrust management, reversers, and afterburner behaviour.

Modular Detent System – Tailored to Every Flight Phase

The VMAX Prime includes a completely customisable detent system, allowing you to adjust:

• Idle

• Military power

• Afterburner

• Reverse thrust zones

• Cruise settings

Easily replace or reposition detents to match the aircraft or sim you’re flying — from commercial aviation to modern fighters.

Up to 49 Programmable Inputs

With 48 + 1 mappable functions, the VMAX Prime offers a complete suite of controls:

• Multiple HAT switches

• Push buttons

• 2-stage switches

• Encoders

• Mode selectors

Shift and mode functions enable virtual button layers, perfect for controlling complex aircraft systems.

Premium Design & Ergonomics

The throttle handles feature metal construction with non-slip rubber grips, shaped to fit the natural hand position during long flights.
Designed for comfort and confidence:

• Excellent grip

• Balanced resistance

• Solid mechanical feel

Protection Included – Eco-Leather Cover

Each unit includes a premium eco-leather dust cover, ensuring your throttle remains clean and protected when not in use — preserving its professional appearance.

Flexible Setup & Configuration

• Modules are fully swappable (HATs, buttons, detents) for personalised layouts

• Compatible with Virpil’s powerful configuration software:

  • Axis mapping

  • Mode layers

  • Virtual axes

  • Shift states

The VMAX Prime connects via standard USB and is recognised as a plug-and-play device — no drivers required.
