This custom Joystick extension fits the Virpil (VPC) Joystick ranges and is ideal when using a centre mount.
The main tube is 30mm in diameter has an offset of 100mm and adds a height of 200mm, ideal when centre mounting.
Unlike most others available, this extension is fully hardwired allowing easy no-fuss swap out between joystick handles and extension/no extension modes1.
VPC grips can be mounted in any orientation and later notched grips in 22.5° rotational steps from straight.
The extension has the same anti-twist notches that match the newer VPC Bases and Grips and the component that mates with the base is made from a extremely hard wearing Polycarbonate Blend composite to keep it in shape.

Notes:
1. Thrustmaster and Virpil (VPC) themselves recommended for the USB to be disconnected when swapping between joysticks/extensions attached to their Joystick bases, we ask you to adhere to this advice too!
2. Virpil (VPC) only:
- Remove the 2 bolts holding the female grip connector in place in the VPC Base before attaching the extension to prevent damage to the connectors. Refer to the VPC Base user manual for more information. (see photo #5)
- The plug pulls out of the Virpil grips to make connecting easier. (see photo #8)
3. Pushing your joystick beyond it's movement limits with force may result in breaking the extension itself, particularly with the longer extensions.
