Constellation ALPHA Prime [L]

 

Tailored for space-sim pilots, yet versatile enough for any fixed or rotary wing pilot. The ALPHA Prime is an evolution of our hugely popular Constellation ALPHA grip. Now featuring a premium, lightweight metal grip body with a textured surface for increased comfort and grip in high intensity flights!

The RGB lighting has been upgraded on the ALPHA Prime, with more configurable zones - allowing for exciting possibilities for lighting states based on shift modes, button presses etc, or simply to match the theme of your cockpit (or disabled if you prefer a more stealthy aesthetic)!

The VPC Constellation ALPHA Prime Grip is available in dedicated left and right hand variants allowing for a matching dual stick, or specific mixed/single stick tailored for your VPCockpit.

Exceptional

The build quality is second to none, the precision of the input is immaculate. Pair it with a WarBRD-D base and you got yourself what is probably the best combo for any HOTAS/HOSAS setup you can get. If you mount it with VIRPILs mounts there isn’t anything better, no wobble, no parasite movements, only your input to the system, just perfect. The metal alloy of the Alpha’s gives you that chunky feeling of a real and solid instrument in your hands. Highly recommend for anyone that can afford it.

10/10 for a Hosas Star Citizen

I just can copy/paste my review for the Alpha Prime [R]
"The Alpha Prime Stick (R) has fully met my expectations from day one. The handling, the feel in the hands, RGB options, calibration, and overall experience during active use are all excellent. Game - Star Cittizen
For me, it is clearly a 10 out of 10."

The RGB took my first attention on Virpil, the Quality made me in love with it.

I have hosas alphas and play all kinds of space Sims the quality is second to none which is why I'm building my Sim pit with them

Pure quality

What can you say? The best there is at the moment, period. I had two VKB kosmos and had constant connection issues. Virpil has their stuff sorted. Not one issue at all. The build quality and finish on the grip is so perfect. They feel hand made by someone who loves their work. It's a shame about the available issues, you would think they would have had that sorted already. I ordered this stick over a month ago and got lucky they sent the left stick and base. I am still waiting for the right stick and base to be sent out.

Best Stick

Took several months to arrive but that and the price are all justified once I started using the product. This stick feels great, has customization options if you want a stronger resistance and has a good phletora of buttons for the user to customize. The casing is made from high-quality plastic which I honestly underestimated but now it feels more premium than my metal sticks. My only complaint is that with a z-extension, it's quite difficult to reach the buttons with my thumb because the right-most joystick is blocking it.

Fantastic addition

Recently added a second stick to go with one I bought a couple of years ago and this thing just as sold as the first which has showed no signs of wear yet at all!

Excellent Premium Product

I bought a matching left Alpha Prime to match the one on the right I had for last 2 years. I did notice some slight manufacturing improvements from their very early models slightly less flex on some parts especially the triggers and levers this is very minimal change but its nice to see if anything they have raised their production standards not lowered them.

Word of warning you are likely to wait on a lot of orders just be patient. Customer support are second to none.

Excellent as a HOSAS Setup

Sorry for the delayed review,
I purchased this March 2024 preparing for my new PC build and cockpit

I have just opened the boxes and the feel was excellent. I live the metal feel as it feels solid and sturdy. (Doesnt feel like it will break if i look at it.) The buttons all have positive clicks and feels extremely responsive. As this one is for the left Thruster i also purchased the Z-extension for it. The LEDs all work well with the ability to modify each LED to whatever colour you wish.
The only downside for me personally is i wish you could swap out button tops 8 and 18 for a rounder smoother feel. (Similar to say anL3-R3 Xbox controller button)

Excellent fit and finish

This is paired with the right control stick. Everything I had expected. Excellent fit and finish. Smooth and comfortable. The ergonomics are better than IRL controls.

"The Grip"

My pair of Constellation Alpha-Prime grips are by far the best I've owned and the last I'll need to own, based on the ergonomics, build quality and versatility they've added to my sim/gaming pit.

Excellent flight stick!

Backorder took a couple months to get to me but oh man, totally worth waiting for. The difference in this and any other stick I've used before is night and day. Coupled it with the WarBRD base and this thing works beautifully. Super clean and crips movement, responsiveness is perfect, and it actually feels like real world flying. I added the tighter springs as well and that made for even better performance. Easiest five stars I've ever given.

Precision grip that feels amazing

After progressing through several flight gear setups (TM T16000/TWCS then X56) while playing Star Citizen, I decided to invest in a Virpil setup. Was the best decision. This grip feels amazing in the hand. With mostly metal construction, this thing is solid but comfortable. It has more than enough axes and buttons. They look amazing with the programable LEDs. I have both the left and right versions. When paired with the WarBRD base, this grip flies with fantastic precision. Very happy with this purchase.

Very good as usual

Amazing stick as usual. a nice upgrade from the previous version.
Removed one star because I feel it's too bad the mini stick isn't in a more central position as it was in the Delta

AMAZING Hardware! Love it

Absolutely superb quality material. Jumped from T16000m to this and a right one. LOVE it!

You are going to lack fingers

There is so much to push, pull, twist and touch on this grip, that I'm quickly running out of bindings to add to the mapping.
Construction quality is outstanding, the feeling is perfect and the centering mechanism on the twist axis requires the perfect force to be operated. The best grip I've ever owned bar none.
