These Joystick extensions are part of our new Genβ range designed exclusively to fit Force Feedback (FFB) Joystick Bases and are for use with Winwing joystick grips as supported by each FFB Base manufacture in the compatability section.
Whilst the extension will physically fit in either the Moza AB9 or the VPforce Rhino (or other 5pin joystick bases), each extension is specific to one base type only. Choose between Moza AB9 or VPforce Rhino. It will not operate in any other base and is not interchangeable between the two, so please ensure you choose the right Edition as there are big differences in the electronics/wiring.
The main 30mm diameter tube has been bulked up over our previous offerings with thicker walls and different priinting enhancements to be able to cope with the extra forces invoked by the force feedback of the base. There are Red Anodised Aluminium Base and Grip Screws (collars) at either end to aid with tightening and there is a rubber washer provided for the grip end to assist with preventing rotation of the grip on the extension once in place. The extension extends the grip up by various heights and offsets towards the pilot.
Unlike most others available, these extensions are fully hardwired allowing easy no-fuss swap out between joystick handles and extension/no extension modes1.
No further adapters are required (or supported) for these to work as intended, directly with the base selected and the Winwing grip supported by the Base manufacturer.
The Rhino edition of the extension incorporates the VPforce electronics, exactly the same as their own Wiwning extension.
The Moza edition of the extension works the same way as the Moza Winwing adapter.
NOTE: Please measure the height/offset you need carefully before ordering, we cannot accept a return if you find you have not ordered the correct one.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are using the FFB Base in reverse configuration (with stop switch away from the pilot for the Rhino), you will need to:
- reverse the 5-pin Plug housing in the bottom of the extension itself.
This is easy to do by loosening 2 screws and gently lifting the plug housing in the Extension, rotating the plug housing 180° and replacing the screws.
Do not overtighten the screws.
Compatability
- Adding/stacking any additional extension is not supported, whether OEM, 3rd Party or QR4rigs.
- Z-Axis extensions are not supported at either end.
- Other than those listed below, no other bases or grips are considered compatible at this time.
Base (only one of the below)

- Winwing Grips listed as compatible by VPforce are supported on the Rhino Edition
Notes:
1. Please disconnect the base from the power and USB when swapping between joysticks/extensions!
2. Pushing your joystick beyond it's movement limits with force may result in breaking the extension itself, particularly with the longer extensions.
3. If self calibrating your FFB base, please ensure that the grip does not come in to contact with any part of your rig as the impact may damage the extension detrimentally.
4. Adding the extension allows the supported grips to operate in the same manner as directly connecting them to the specific Base only.
If you need a different height or offset, please use Custom Joystick Extension Request form to get in touch!
Note: This item is 3D printed. There will be obvious print lines on this product due to the nature of 3D printing. The colour of the base interface, plug and socket holder (not visible once installed) will vary depending on model chosen. We have colour coded them to make sure we send you the right one!
