Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant vs Winwing ORION2 Throttle F/A-18 Handle Max for MSFS: Bravo wins by 10 points for GA and airliner pilots.

The Honeycomb Bravo rates 80.5/100 against the ORION2's 70.5/100 on our model-derived scale, a 10-point gap that reflects the Bravo's broader lever count and wider aircraft-type compatibility for MSFS. Flying a multi-engine IFR approach into a dense photogrammetry airport like EGLL or KJFK, the Bravo's six configurable levers — covering throttle, prop, mixture, flaps, and spoilers — give you hands-on control that maps cleanly across the Cessna 172, King Air, and A320 without constant keyboard fallback. The ORION2's 80-button layout and full metal construction earn it the edge specifically for pilots running carrier-based or fast-jet MSFS missions who need a dense HOTAS-style button matrix more than multi-lever GA coverage.

Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant

Choose Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant if you fly a mixed hangar in MSFS — GA singles, twins, and airliners — and need multi-lever axis control across all of them without rebinding workarounds.

Winwing ORION2 Throttle F/A-18 Handle Max

Choose Winwing ORION2 Throttle F/A-18 Handle Max if your MSFS sessions are locked to fast-jet or military-style aircraft and you prioritize a dense, metal-built button layout over multi-lever axis coverage.

Our take:

The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is the clear pick for most MSFS pilots — its 10-point lead and six-lever versatility serve far more aircraft types and mission profiles than the ORION2's specialized button-heavy layout.
