Mike Perry — Hardware researcher since 2014. For flight-sim yokes, throttles and rudder pedals, synthesises manufacturer specs and independent reviews rather than first-hand lab testing. Core beat: GPU performance across gaming, rendering, and local-LLM inference.

WINCTRL's flight sim gear lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
