Verdict for MSFS
The Honeycomb Alpha LITE suits PC simmers moving up from a gamepad who want real yoke feel in a Cessna, with 180 degrees of roll for steady bank control. There's no throttle in the box, so you'll fly on keys for power until you add a throttle quadrant.

Pros & Cons for MSFS
Strengths
- 180 degrees of roll spreads your aileron input across a wide turn of the wheel, so rolling into the downwind leg or holding a wing into a crosswind on short final is a gentle, measured movement instead of a flick.
- The shaft is steel, as the maker states, so the column doesn't flex when you pull back firmly at rotation around 55 knots, and the centering springs bring the yoke back to neutral when you let go while you're trimmed and holding altitude.
- A sensible starting point if you're coming off a gamepad on PC: it's the yoke on its own, so you can add a throttle quadrant for power and mixture first, then rudder pedals for taxi turns and crosswind landings, as money allows.
Trade-offs
- No throttle, no trim wheel and no rudder controls, so power changes on a go-around and trimming off the pressure in the climb both happen on keyboard keys until you buy a separate throttle quadrant and pedals.
- Honeycomb Aeronautical doesn't say this yoke uses contactless (Hall-effect) sensors, the kind that read position without parts rubbing together, so it can get jittery as it wears, and a recalibration or a small dead zone in MSFS is the fix; the next step up in price can buy those sensors plus a built-in trim wheel or a quadrant in the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a good Flight Yoke for MSFS?
Yes, for a PC simmer who wants a yoke in front of them rather than a joystick, and it scores 46.0/100 for MSFS. It shines in light singles like a Cessna, where the long 180-degree roll range lets you make small, calm bank corrections on approach. It shows its limits the moment you want power, trim or rudder, because none of those are on the yoke.
Is it worth the price for MSFS?
For the money you're buying the yoke and the feel, and nothing else, so judge it against yokes that bundle a throttle quadrant or a trim wheel and remember you'll likely add a quadrant anyway. If you can stretch, the next step up in price can buy contactless sensors, more levers and extra switches; if you can't, this gets your hands on a yoke now.
Does it work on Xbox or PS5?
It's PC only, so it works with MSFS 2024 on Windows and nowhere else. Xbox Series X|S only accepts controls licensed for Xbox, the PS5 version of MSFS supports only the Thrustmaster TCA Sky Yoke, and Xbox Cloud Gaming doesn't take yokes at all, so plan on a Windows PC.
What else do I need with it?
Budget for a throttle quadrant, since there's no throttle in the box and setting power with keys gets old fast on a visual circuit. There are no rudder controls built in either, so rudder pedals are the next buy for taxi turns and crosswind landings, and you'll want a solid desk edge to mount the yoke to so it doesn't shift when you pull back.
How should I configure this in MSFS?
In MSFS, open the control settings first and check the yoke is picked up and the pitch axis isn't reversed, so pulling back raises the nose. If it feels twitchy or the aircraft wanders on its own, add a small dead zone (a bit of slack around center where tiny movements are ignored) and soften the sensitivity curve; then bind elevator trim to two keys or a spare button, because this yoke has no trim wheel and you'll want trim constantly in the climb.
