The VIRPIL MongoosT-50CM4 is a dual flight throttle for PC, built around aircraft-grade duralumin mechanics, two throttle axes running on contactless digital sensors and an interchangeable detent-plate system.
It updates the original MongoosT-50 with the ergonomic handles of the VMAX series and sits between the CDT-VMAX and the VMAX Prime within the throttles range from VIRPIL Controls. The axes ride on high-precision steel bearings with no backlash or dead zones, and tension is adjusted through the port holes on the top panel, without disassembling the unit.
Key features of the MongoosT-50CM4
- Dual throttle axes on VPC contactless digital sensors: the handles lock together to synchronise both engines, or split via the quick-lock toggle for differential thrust.
- Adjustable detent system with interchangeable plates that slide forwards and backwards along the axis range and can be mixed between sets.
- Four detent plate sets included: Classic Plus, Warthog-Type, Aerobatic and CosmoSim, in lift or push-through configurations.
- Front-mounted detent lifts operated with the thumb or palm, with no need to shift your hand forwards over the handle.
- Analogue ministick with push at the index finger position, ideal for SLEW, cursor control or strafing in space sims.
- 5-way mode dial configurable as five independent buttons or a 5-state shift modifier, for up to five actions per input.
- Programmable RGB backlighting on the B1–B6 buttons, with sticker sheets included for labelling.

Frequently asked questions
Does the VIRPIL MongoosT-50CM4 work on PS5 or Xbox?
No. The MongoosT-50CM4 is a USB HID device for PC; it is not compatible with PlayStation or Xbox consoles.

Yes. The two handles lock together to move both engines in sync, or split via the quick-lock toggle for differential thrust control.
Which detent plates are included and can they be swapped?
Four sets are included: Classic Plus, Warthog-Type, Aerobatic and CosmoSim. They can be swapped, mixed between sets and moved forwards or backwards to place the detent where you need it within the axis range.
Does it need drivers or extra software?
No drivers are needed: it is recognised as a standard USB controller. The VPC Configuration Suite is optional and lets you programme axis-to-buttons, virtual axes, shift states and toggles.
Can the handle tension be adjusted?
Yes. Axis tension is adjusted through the port holes on the top panel, without taking the throttle apart.
Can it be installed in a simulation cockpit?
Yes. It supports desktop use, VPCockpit desk mounting and fixing into third-party or custom-built simpits.
