Today I would like to share with you on how I have taken apart my Virpil VPC Constellation ALPHA grip and give you a good look inside.
Just to be clear, I love ❤ all of my VIRPIL controllers even though I make sometimes critical statements these are just my personal opinion. Therefore, this is not a review or how-to guide but rather just something I wanted to share. Hope it will satisfy some curiosity about this grip.
If you enjoyed this video please give it a like. 👍
Thanks for watching! 😀

Yeah, good point, but honestly for me it was eye opening though. I have a lot of Virpil stuff myself but I will now look into alternatives. Like VPC that are literally half the cost for the same features or Winwing that are much better in terms of engineering For me I simply went to Virpil to keep my Thrustmaster grips. However, I exchanged these long ago now when I realized I didn't like those in terms of built or usability and features. I am glad we're not just stuck with a single vendor anymore. Nothing better than solid competition. Right now it seems Virpil really needs to catch up or re-position their stuff a bit in terms of pricing. My devices from them broke sooner than anticipated as well - just that I never opened it and expected screws straight into plastic or hot glue So thanks for doing this

I constantly find more content that I search from your channel specifically. Keep up the videos, I bet once you hit 1000 subs you will hit the algorithm more often.

Thanks for your kind comment! It will be a while to get to 1k but that would be nice to share my content to more interested viewers. I'll keep it up :) Cheers

Looks easy when you do it but I am pretty sure it's a lot of work. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

@crashmetwice 6 месяцев назад

It was a lot of work. However, I don't mind because I really enjoy doing this stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers

@crashmetwice 6 месяцев назад

Coming soon! Should be up in a few days. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers

I wanted to change out the mini stick, but now I am worried about getting the grip back together. Excellent video with lots of detailed shots, well done.

It really isn't that difficult, just a lot of work and time involved. Cleaning up the hot glue is the most time consuming part on it. Just make pictures every step on the way and you'll be fine. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers

Thank you for this video. I've been having issues with my out-of-warranty ALPHA twist grip not tracking consistently. The video is very detailed but the actual disassembly of the grip case and details of which screws / bolts need to be removed was very rapid and missing detail. Is there any chance you could post a diagram of which screws are necessary to remove to split open the case safely? Thanks again.

Thanks for showing the inside, it looks really well made! The spring you show that can be adjusted by picking a different hole what does it change?

@crashmetwice 6 месяцев назад

Yes, it is nicely made, Virpil does make excellent controllers. Very smart layout and using the PCB's as a structural element for buttons, wheel, and the flip switch is quite awesome engineering. The spring provides the tension to the flip trigger. Depending on the selected hole, it makes it harder or softer to depress the trigger. I think they did it because often springs vary in strength depending on sourcing and manufacturing, not actually something for the end user to mess with :) Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers

Anyone have discount code for Virpil EU purchase?

@crashmetwice 6 месяцев назад

I recommend watching their Twitter (twitter.com/VIRPILControls) for sales. They usually have a Winter and Spring sale with discounts on their stuff. Cheers
