Max Flight Stick Cyclic Top 64 Max
The Max Flight Stick Cyclic Top 64 Max is an AH-64 style cyclic grip on its aluminium tube, built to fit Max Flight Stick cyclic bases. It is the sixth generation of Max Flight Stick 64 cyclic grip and is sold without a cyclic base.
The grip carries four 5-way hat switches, a dual-stage trigger and 4 push buttons, for 26 programmable buttons on the standard push button version or 27 with the momentary thumb switch. It connects to the Max Flight Stick Control Box 2025 with a single LAN cable.
This is the metal version, printed in industrial-grade aluminium. The tube bolts to the cyclic base with 2 bolts, and the grip can be fitted to other brands of base with an adapter.
Key features
- Sixth-generation 64 cyclic grip
- Four 5-way hat switches
- Dual-stage trigger and 4 push buttons
- Up to 27 programmable buttons
- Optional momentary thumb switch
- Grip printed in aluminium
- Tube bolts to the base with 2 bolts
- Single LAN cable to the Control Box 2025
Apache controls under your thumb
Four 5-way hats, a dual-stage trigger and 4 push buttons put sensor, weapon and trim functions under your fingers, laid out like the AH-64 cyclic. The standard version gives you 26 programmable buttons.
Choose the momentary thumb switch version if you prefer a spring-return thumb control, which takes the total to 27 programmable buttons.
Built to mix and match
The grip suits every Max Flight Stick cyclic base and can be fitted to other brands with an adapter. Its single LAN cable runs to the Max Flight Stick Control Box 2025, so it slots into a larger Max Flight Stick setup alongside their collectives and pedals.
If you want a complete AH-64 cyclic with base included, see the Apache Max Cyclic, or browse our helicopter controls for the full range.
Our expert take
"This is the upgrade path for Max Flight Stick owners who already have a cyclic base and want an Apache grip on it. Four 5-way hats and up to 27 buttons cover the AH-64's cyclic workload properly."
"Be clear that it is a grip only: you need a compatible cyclic base and the Control Box 2025, and other brands of base need an adapter. It works on PC and Mac only."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
