Which version should you choose?
The lockable twist-axis version adds an integrated yaw (twist) axis, useful if you do not have rudder pedals. The fixed-grip version removes that axis to avoid accidental inputs when you already use rudder pedals. Both share the same controls and dimensions.
Compatibility
The WarBRD Grip requires a compatible flightstick base, sold separately. It is compatible with:
- VIRPIL bases: VPC WarBRD series, VPC MongoosT-50 series, VPC Rotor TCS and VPC Rotor TCS Plus Collective.
- Thrustmaster bases: Warthog and Cougar (with possible feature limitations).

Frequently asked questions
Does the VIRPIL WarBRD Grip include the base?
No. The WarBRD Grip is the hand grip only; it needs a compatible flightstick base, sold separately, such as VIRPIL's VPC WarBRD series or VPC MongoosT-50 series.
What is the difference between the fixed and twist-axis versions?
The lockable twist-axis version includes a yaw (twist) axis to control the rudder without pedals. The fixed-grip version has no such axis, ideal if you already use rudder pedals and want to avoid accidental inputs.
How many controls does the WarBRD Grip have?
It features a dual-stage trigger, an 8-way hat with push, a 4-way hat with push and 2 extra buttons, plus programmable LED lighting.
Is it compatible with Thrustmaster bases?
Yes, it is compatible with the Thrustmaster Warthog and Cougar bases, although feature limitations may apply. Full compatibility is achieved with VIRPIL bases.
How much does it weigh and measure?
The WarBRD Grip weighs 0.35 kg and measures 189 x 93 x 82 mm, so it is compact and suitable for both desk setups and mounted cockpits.
