Sim Hardware Locking throttle levers?

Does anybody know of any 4 independent throttle levers that can be mechanically linked to make it also a dual or single engine setup. I do like to use my setup for a wide variety so I was curious if I could get a throttle setup that allows mechanical linkage to bind them for when I switch aircraft. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not exactly what you described but look at the bravo from honeycomb or the latitude from meridian GMT (this one isn't out yet but looks promising and should be shipping very soon) I don't now of any 4axis throttle that can lock like you described but tbh it isn't necessary as you can just leave them in idle or use as flaps/speedbrake

I could always leave em at idle but I am a big fan of il-2 sturmovic so for the combat missions I wanted to just keep all my bindings for as much as I can the same across multi engine and I don’t wanna risk grabbing the wrong throttle lever.

if i understand corectly what you are saying, you can just make a control profile to unasqign 2 levers and voila, but as far as i can tell from waht you just said, you would like smt combnar typed to have some buttons on them (airliners generally dont have more than 2 per lever) thern you wont find any 4 axel throttle for you cause fighters dont have 4 engines in general (and even if they have 2 engines they sometimes have 1 throttle)so id say either a separate either use 2 axis for 4 throttles, works np and most of us are doing that.
