Virpil Controls CDT-VMAX Throttle

Compact Dual-Engine Metal Throttle • Contactless Sensors • Adjustable Detents • Advanced HOTAS Control

The Virpil CDT-VMAX Throttle is the compact powerhouse of the VPC CADET series — designed for sim pilots who need precision, durability, and full programmability in a space-saving form factor. Despite its reduced size, the CDT-VMAX delivers dual metal throttle axes, a rich control layout, and high-end contactless sensors, making it ideal for beginners, VR pilots, and advanced HOTAS users alike.

Dual-Metal Throttle Axes + Extra Axis

Built around a robust metal mechanical system, the CDT-VMAX features:

• Two independent throttle axes for multi-engine control

• One additional axis for zoom, radar elevation, or auxiliary functions

• Smooth, precise motion with contactless digital sensors for zero-wear accuracy

Configurable Idle & Afterburner Detents

Tailor the throttle feel to your aircraft and simulation style:

• Adjustable idle and afterburner detents

• Includes an alternative CosmoSim detent plate for space simulators

• Individual friction dials per axis for perfect tactile feel

Switch easily between jet, space-sim, or general aviation profiles.

Rich Control Layout — Compact but Powerful

For a small footprint, the CDT-VMAX packs impressive input capability:

• Mini analog stick

• 3 × 4-way HAT switches

• 4 push buttons

• 2 rotary knobs

• Programmable RGB warning LED

This gives you full HOTAS control without needing a large desktop footprint.

Compact, Desk-Friendly Design

Designed specifically for limited spaces, VR setups, and minimalist cockpits:

• Low profile fits perfectly on desks or small mounts

• Easy to position alongside joysticks for dual-stick or HOTAS layouts

• Durable metal construction ensures zero flex and long life

Fully Programmable with VPC Config Suite

The CDT-VMAX integrates seamlessly with Virpil’s powerful software:

• Custom button mapping

• Mode switching and shift layers

• Virtual axes and macros

• Programmable RGB LED alerts

• Complete device tuning

Plug-and-play via standard USB — no external drivers required.
