The New VelocityOne Rudder Perfectly Complements Turtle Beach’s Award-Winning VelocityOne Flight Universal Control System, Giving Fans and Enthusiasts the Ultimate Modern Simulation Control Setup for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Other Flight Programs
White Plains, NY – October 31, 2022 – Leading gaming accessory maker Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: HEAR) today announced the newest addition to the brand’s growing lineup of gaming simulation accessories, the VelocityOne Rudder, is now available at participating retailers globally. VelocityOne Rudder further elevates flight simmers’ setups to new levels of realism. It perfectly complements Turtle Beach’s award-winning VelocityOne™ Flight Universal Control System and will also be compatible with the recently announced VelocityOne™ Flightstick following its mid-November launch. For flight sim fans on Windows PCs, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, VelocityOne Rudder features dual-pedal configurations for both light aircraft and heavy airliner setups. The pedals have a smooth rudder axis and contactless hall-effect sensors on all axes for fluid movements and a longer product life. Differential brakes allow for tight turns and precise runway braking control, while swappable springs and adjustable pedal width and shape provide added realism whether flying a light aircraft, heavy airliner, or fighter jets. Plus, multiple stable mounting solutions keep VelocityOne Rudder firmly planted on a variety of surfaces. Turtle Beach’s VelocityOne Rudder is available today at www.turtlebeach.com and participating retailers.
“VelocityOne Rudder is the next step in our commitment to giving flight sim gamers a modern and realistic flight control experience using the latest technologies,” said Juergen Stark, Chairman and CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “From our booths at the RIAT and Miramar Air Shows to online flight sim groups – the flying community’s early reaction to our new pedals has been overwhelmingly positive. We’re thrilled to be on the leading edge of rebooting what consumers should expect in high-quality flight simulation gaming accessories.”
