Developed to Russian market by simmers of Sukhoi forum - so the Mig stye - but should be sold worldwide under OEM brands (in Brasil: C3Tech).

Is a low cost (60/70 U$) stick but with contactless sensor in X and Y axis (pot's in throttle and rudder) with a different feature: dual trigger (not dual stage trigger like X-52/65, G-940, Cougar, Warthog...)

You can use trigger's individually, ie. first MG, second Cannon, but if continue press first, active the second too (MG+Cannon).

Cobra M5 USB - professional gaming joystick for PC.

Non-contact magnetic positioning technology M-Force. Through the use of special sensors that react to changes in the magnetic field while rotating the joystick handle, we could abandon the contact pots in handling mechanism. This allows stunning accuracy, reliability, and lack of dead zones.

The special design of trigger ClusterFire™ with support for multiple rocket launchers. With the special design trigger, the player can use either the main weapon, or secondary, or if required by the situation on the battlefield, both types of weapons simultaneously.

23 programmable buttons, including 2 trigger ClusterFire™. Physically, the player can handle 7 buttons, plus two trigger ClusterFire™. In fact, thanks to the three management regimes (mode), the player will see a combination of 23 buttons. Also Cobra M5 USB features a unique folding third trigger.

Three control modes (manual switch): dogfight, ranged combat, maneuvering.
The four-axis to control roll, pitch, yaw and gas. To regulate the thrust has a special lever (handle traction control).

Massive metal base for added stability.

Ergonomically designed handle with rubberized coating.

Easy installation (Plug & Play). To work not need install drivers.

Specifications:
Interface Type: USB 2.0
Number of axes: 4
Buttons: 23, including 2 trigger ClusterFire™ (7 physical buttons + 2 pull trigger)
POV HAT type: 8-way

Not a KG-13B, but the dual trigger is perfect for 109/110. ;)

After they introduce a stand alone throttle with similar features - contactless sensor in throttle + two rotaries axis (with pot's) - handle design similar to X-52:
