When "VKB" and "throttle" are mentioned together, people usually mean the TECS throttle. It's been in development for quite some time but their current release date seems to be February 2021.
I'd laugh if I weren't doing the exact same thing with my throttle.
The index finger stick for thruster control is incredible.
I use also in my left hand the TWCS throttle, and in my right hand a VKB Gladiator Mark 3... Is like driving a car that with your right hand feels like a rolls royce and with your left hand feels like a toy from MacDonald´s

As was mentioned once already, have you tried mounting it to your desk (3m velcro tape or something like that) and try Nyogel on the slide?
It feels more substantial that way, and easier to make tiny adjustments.

As i wrote a lot about the X-56 here in the past, i want to add the update to this thread:
My X-56 by now starts to develop a problem, which none of the older ones ever did, merely for the fact that they died long before they could get this problem. The X-56 presses a conical piece of plastic into the base to re-center the stick. This was very precise for me over several sticks and many years. The stick i am using by now is slowly building up tolerance there.
It seems like the hole in the plastic started to wear out. The centered stick now can move around like a fraction of a millimeter while being centered, without moving the centering cone. Which means that i can move the top of my stick for like 3 to 5 millimeters without it re-centering.
My current fix is to simply have a tiny deadzone, i don't see it as a problem yet. Time will tell if it turns into a bigger problem if i have to fix it. (While i have no idea yet on how i could fix that. )
I guess in the end my posting here boils down to my conclusion that what Logitech did to the cables improved things a lot. About half a year or so ago i had to re-solder one of them, otherwise the Logitech-built stick up to now had no problems. It definitely is a vast improvement over the old Saitek versions.

I have an old saitek x56 throttle n stick. I have 3 stick spares. Their base units I've used as spares on main unit.
Luckily for me I bought mine off a chap in Germany that completely rebuilt em. Wiring is improved and all OK. I'm familiar with them and easily swap out trigger box from another stick etc.
Having spares does help. That's my point.
