Description

The base a joystick starts from

In modular joysticks the base and the grip are separate parts: the base sits on the desk or a frame and carries the stick movement, while the grip provides the buttons and the hold. That lets you swap grips without changing the base, or build your own combination for flight and space simulators. Sol-5 Base is the base part of such a system for PC.

Who this joystick base is for

The base suits PC players of flight or space simulators who assemble a joystick from separate parts, or who want a new base for a grip they already own. No consoles appear in the manufacturer data; PC is the only listed platform. Axis, sensor and mounting details are not part of this listing.

Is a grip included?

The manufacturer does not specify this. The name Sol-5 Base refers to the base only, so check on the manufacturer page whether a grip is included or has to be chosen separately.

Does the base work with a console?

The manufacturer lists PC as the only supported platform. PlayStation and Xbox are not on the compatibility list.

What colour is the base?

According to the manufacturer Sol-5 Base is black, so it matches dark desk accessories and simulator frames.
