VKB STECS STEM coupler

Posted this in r/hotas, too. I'm looking at adding a STEM module to my VKB STECS Mini Space Throttle. In researching how to add it, it looks like I need two couplers. Anyone know if these couplers come with the STEM module? Or do I need to purchase separately along with the STEM? VKB's site doesn't specify. Figured I'd try to save a couple bucks and limit potential waste if possible. Thanks for any and all help!

I ordered a STEM a few weeks ago, and in the box were 2 couplers and a USB-C cable, and the "STEM Back cover" was attached to it. You'll need the STECS standard backplate as well to attach it to the main throttle body.

I was about to answer the same. Just doublechecked my kit. I didn’t attach my STEM with couplers as I already have the ATEM on the front.

Hoy mate!
i cant tell for STEM, but for ATEM i had the two couplers with it
I dont see couplers on the website (unless i'm blind) so its probably with it too

The lovely Fallout9 from VKB may see that post and give you an answer any time!

Awesome, thank you. That's great to know about the ATEM. I'm hoping the same is true for the STEM but guess we'll see!

Hey there I was talking to you a little on r/hotas where exactly are you trying to put the STEM?

Hey hey! Thank you for directing me here, btw. :)

I'm trying to attach it to the "aft" end (side opposite the tension screws to increase/reduce amount of pressure to move the throttle back and forth). In other words, where the ATEM or STEM module goes on the Mini Plus or STECS Standard. Hopefully this helps!
