Thanks for sharing, and for contributing to objectivity in this sad case. Like many, I bought Alpha and Bravo quite a while back. They’re still fine, but I guess I’m prepared to resort to “home tinkering” if, or when, a unit breaks down. If this story ends in a crash, the general flight sim community is just awesome! I’m pretty sure 3D-printable files or parts, electronics spares and maybe alternative MCU controllers will become available - shared, sold or documented for makers. (A great deal is already out there, especially augmentations and adaptions for the Bravo.) At the same time - I hope and prefer that the above will just be my quirky exaggeration, and a sustainable solution is found… 👍

After the release of MSFS 2020, the Honeycomb Apha and Bravo became the affordable gold standard in controllers. How unfortunate the company was under capitalized, mismanaged by feuding principals, and today has melted down to an ugly public publicity fight. What a shame. The good news is the world has moved on and new companies and products are emerging all the time. Example: My well reviewed CLS-60 force feedback yoke from FliteSim arrived yesterday, so my Alpha, as good as it may have been, is headed for the shelf. I hate to say it, but I don’t know that the flight community needs Honeycomb today, especially since they have squandered the trust the public once had in them. ☹️

Those are fair points. I would still like to see more of Honeycomb in the future though; but not in this fashion.

The Snakebyte announcement was hilarious in their admission that "the individual" [Nicki] had the role of "CEO and founder," but then they say these titles were meaningless! Wait, what?!?!

Snakebyte seems to to with Honecomb what McDonnel Douglas did with Boeing..... Bring down quality of product with cheap parts for making fast money on a "known relialble product" ! We know how well that went... :P

This is really a shame. I purchased Alpha and Bravo over a year ago as ‘best in market’ and wouldn’t fly without either. But I did become suspicious when some minor requests for support and questions about future software updates were virtually not answered or very cryptic . I wouldn’t bother with Charlie rudder pedals just because of the company turmoil.

Well, after that, it sounds like the name "Snakebite" is turning out to be exactly what this all has turned into. OUCH! If I were into purchasing this gear, I would boycott the company until they get it fixed. SMH

Such a shame because Honeycomb was making great quality-to-price products. The value was unmatched. Turtle Beach makes good products, but not on the same level as Honeycomb. And then there's Logitech...meh.

What an absolute shit show; I think snakebite is absolutely lying here too given info shared prior to that statement. I think they’re outright trying to steal this IP. I love my alpha (gen1) and bravo, but I’m not buying a Charlie at least till all this dust settles. I hope this is resolved soon but it’s probably going to be years.
