    Great first set of sticks
    Bought these to increase control / realism in Farming Simulator (Logging / Excavation Machines) and once configured I reckon you could use these to train operators. The amount of adjustability and customisation available is great. They’re well built and sturdy, and after putting a good few hundred hours into them they’re still as good as the day I got them. Definitely recommend over others as buying the duo gives you left and right hand stick grips, whereas others don’t for this price point.

    Exceptional & precise
    This is one of the best stick + throttle combo I’ve ever bought. There are certainly more expensive HOTAS products out there that depend on you having rudder pedals, but of course not all of us have the floorspace to accommodate that. What I love about this product is that the “rocker” on the throttle is a very smooth & well-engineered solution for having no rudder pedals. It is surprisingly easy to control the rocker with the index and 4th fingers. Clearly a very well thought-out product which overall feels sturdy and built to last.

    My only gripe is that there are some button placements and surfaces that feel like Thrustmaster have tried to be a bit too clever (which is typical of them), but IMO this is easy-enough to adapt to once muscle-memory kicks in.

    Makes MW5 playable
    Bought this as my elderly saitek hotas struggled with MW5. This set is like day to night by comparison. One star off for two reasons. The configuration software is less than friendly also the drivers need updating as they are not compatible with HVCI.

    Pretty good, but manufacturer cut some corners
    I was upgrading from a Thrustmaster TFlight hotas & I really wanted a “Warthog”, but I couldn’t justify that level of expenditure. This one falls somewhere in-between, from a price point of view.
    Although it looks plasticky, the joystick feels quite robust, and is more precise than my old TFlight. I’m not crazy about the buttons in the base, would have preferred more on the stick itself, but I guess you get what you pay for.
    As for the throttle, heaps of controls (which is what I was after) and again, quite robust, despite looking plasticky. Sliding throttle is unconventional, and works well in principle. Trouble is, it has no finesse for tiny adjustments, because once the factory applied lubricant stops working, it tends to stick on small movements. There are various solutions to this issue to be found online (some budget/DIY, others more expensive), but all involve some level of disassembly/re-assembly. I found a third-party solution involving a 3d printed component, actual bearings & a magnetic “detent” option. It works very much to my liking now.
    In conclusion, I couldn’t recommend the throttle unless you’re prepared to disassemble it and carry out some maintenance etc. & possibly added expense to get this thing working the way it ought to have done as a factory finished product.

    Great Affordable Hardware.
    Great price for what it is. Stick sometimes ends up stuck slightly to the left when I let it spring back to neutral, but that’s an easy fix.

    Works grea
    It’s not the coolest looking design for a HOTAS at this price, but works really well. Very smooth and with an absolute wealth of functions and software to control them.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAccurate and well designed joystick and throttle uni
    My old, much loved, Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS controls had seen better days and I decide it was time to buy a new controller. There are a number of more expensive controllers that replicate real aircraft flight controls on the market, but for sheer flexibility and selection of inputs the T16000M FCS HOTAS is hard to beat and much better value. The Hall effect transducers on the joystick and throttle axes give you accuracy and reliability and there are numerous additional control inputs included. The throttle unit has a mini joystick, two additional control axes (one spring loaded to centre, the other stays where it’s put), an eight way POV hat switch, two four way switches (ideal for trim controls), one two way switch, and three buttons. The joystick also has a twist axis, a slider axis, an eight way POV hat switch and sixteen buttons. All these additional inputs are HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) except for the twelve buttons on the joystick base and the joystick slider axis.

    Although made entirely of plastic it has a quality feel. Everything works smoothly and precisely. The joystick centring springs have a nice weight to them (not as heavy as a real Airbus sidestick but you can’t have everything). The only, very minor, criticism I have is the lack of a thumb trigger and a pinkie switch on the joystick. They would have been very useful.

    There is an utterly useless amber light that illuminates the base of the joystick whenever it is deflected from centre. Why did Thrustmaster think this was necessary or even useful? Annoyingly you can’t disable it. I found a video on youtube which shows you which wire to cut to disable it, but I decided against doing that (it would certainly void the warranty). As it turns out the light isn’t as annoying as I thought it would be, though I’d still disable it if that was a user option. In a similar vein, the joystick trigger is made of translucent amber plastic. All this does is make the joystick look like a toy, which is a shame.

    In summary, this pair of controllers is high quality, well specified and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersGreat joystick easy to set up
    I was looking initially for a yoke system, I soon changed my mind as I saw that they had a very large footprint and seeing I only got a small desk, a joystick and throttle system was to be my choice.

    First the joystick, I have only played this on Microsoft Flight simulator 2020, it is easy to control, with a good feel to it, there is no force feedback, the resistance of the stick is medium. There are plenty of buttons that can be mapped out. there are plenty of buttons that can be mapped out. Although, when I played MSFS2020 the joystick and throttle was automatically recognised.
    The joystick also twists, this gives you the rudder control. If you have the throttle system as well, there is a dedicated rudder at the front of the controller, although this control is very very sensitive.
    The joystick in the game is very sensitive and only the mildest of movement is needed. the joystick can be either left or right handed, there are supplied buttons to easily convert from right to left handed.

    The throttle, is a nice decent size and weight and does not slid across the desk when using the throttle. The rudder is situated at the front of the controller, it is very sensitive. You really have to be careful not to be a bit heavy handed when turning. You also, need to change in the settings of MSFC2020 as the joystick rudder is by default.
    Again, on this controller there are a number of buttons that can be customised and saved to each game you play.

    On the whole, I would recommend this controller for people with limited space.

    Works well
    I use this on Elite and Star Citizen and works a treat as long as there are profiles in game and find the joystick and throttle.
    Not so good on flight sim 2020

    Amazing precision versus Hotas X and comparable to the Warthog
    I bought this product as a Father’s Day present to myself to play DCS World. In particular F/A-18 and the super carrier DLC. It has the “real feel” element when combined with an Oculus Rift S headset. One thing to remember is that it takes practice to master any game but with this stick and a bit of practice you can quickly zone in to perfect even carrier landings. Massive accuracy/realism boost compared to my Hotas X.

    Gutes Flugsimulator Set mit leider leicht stotterndem Schubregler.
    Der Stick macht einen guten Eindruck und reagiert bereits bei minimalen Bewegungen. Die Knpfe wackeln bei leichter Berhrung, sind also nicht “fest” verbaut sondern haben ein leichtes Spiel was mir persnlich nicht gefllt, da es die Gesamtqualitt einfach runterzieht.
    Der Stick lsst sich in alle Himmelsrichtungen und um die eigene Achse (um das Seitenruder zu steuern) drehen. Der Stick hat einen eigenen Schubregler, weshalb man den groen Schubregler theoretisch bei Hobby Simulatoren Spieler nicht braucht.
    Der Stick ist von Haus aus auf die rechte Hand gemacht, bekommt aber das ntige Zeug um auf die linke Hand umzuschrauben.

    Der (groe) Schubregler stottert wenn man nur leicht den Schub erhhen mchte. Man muss also den Regler nach vorne und hinten ziehen um dann die gewnschte Position zu erreichen. Ich wei nicht ob Einlen hilft um den Regler leichtgngiger zu machen.
    An der Seite des Reglers hat man ein Rad welches man drehen kann um die Neigung des Flugzeugs auszurichten. Wenn man so “realistisch” wie mglich fliegen mchte wre der Regler schon hilfreich, auch wenn das “Gestottere” auf dauer echt nervt. Der Regler am Stick lsst sich aber sehr weich bewegen auch fr minimalste nderung des Schubs.
    Auch die Knpfe am groen Schubregler sind leicht wacklig.

    Pedalerie funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Pedalen lassen sich drcken wie beim Auto um die linken bzw. rechten Bremsen oder beide gleichzeitig zu aktivieren.
    Die Pedalen lassen sich aber auch nach vorne oder nach hinten “ziehen”. Wenn das linke Pedal nach vorne gezogen wird, wird das Rechte nach hinten gezogen. Dies ist standardmig fr das Seitenruder zustndig.

    Alles in Einem kann ich das Set empfehlen. Wer nicht so viel Geld ausgeben mchte, dem reicht der allein Stick vollkommen. Da msste man nur auf einen der Knpfe die Bremse/Parkbremse einstellen und schon kanns losgehen.

    Upgraded to this HOTAS from a previous much simpler HOTAS, Glad i made the switch. There are 12 buttons on the stick base alone, which gives you many options. Stick feels good in the hand, the only issue i have is a lack of a 2 stage trigger. As for the throttle, it is quite large but most of the buttons are easily reachable, plus the smooth surface means you can just slide your hand up smoothly.
    Overall, I do not know if i would recommend this stick to a beginner, the amount of buttons, whilst very nice and good to have, can be a bit intimidating, or even overwhelming, But its a very good system overall.

    Thrustmaster T.16000 joystick works v. well, straight out of the box, with MS Flight Simulato
    Thrustmaster T.16000 … such an improvement over my (20 years?) old joystick. True, that was one of the ‘force-feedback’ variety, which was fun, but this is perfectly adequate for an average user like me. High spec home pilots may look for something more of course. But perfect for me, using MSFS without other hardware equipment: very sensitive and true – the 16,000 separate Hall-effect-sensor detected points on each axis make for a smooth and sensitive response. Recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThe grips are easy to swap between right and left handed use.
    There is another review of this product with an image of a cut finger claiming that there is a design flaw for swapping the grips and that their joystick was defective because of this. I’ve just received mine and easily swapped the grips and lower hand rest around in a couple of minutes and It is pretty apparent to me what happened to the other reviewer.

    One of the grips is press-fitted in and can easily be pulled off. This reveals a screw that HOLDS the other grip in. The online user manual pretty clearly shows this in its images. The other reviewer clearly thought both grips are press-fitted and was tugging at the other grip that is held in place with a screw lol.

    As for my thoughts on the stick itself, I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick that I bought a week ago so I can compare to it as a baseline. The Thrustmaster seems to have slightly more travel on the joystick itself and far less play. It feels much tighter whilst also being easier to push around than the Logitech. I think for longer gaming sessions the Thrustmaster will be less tiring to use.

    However, the buttons and trigger on the Thrustmaster feel much more mushy and far less tactile and clicky than the Logitech’s buttons and trigger. I also prefer the feel of the mini lever throttle that’s on the Logitech over the slider found on the Thrustmaster. The Logitech is heavier which is actually nice for keeping it planted on my table. The Thrustmaster feels a bit light in comparison.

    So to sum up, my initial impressions of the Thrustsmaster T.16000M FCS Joystick are:
    – It’s easy to swap the grips if you use a screwdriver to unscrew the thumb rest grip!
    – The joystick is easy to move around whilst also having less play in it than my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick.
    – It also has more travel on the joystick than the Logitech.
    – I wish the buttons and trigger were more clicky and tactile.
    – It could also be made a bit heavier to make it more stable.
    – The large thumb rest grip is very comfortable.

    I’ll update if the joystick suffers from any major problems during use but I am happy with the purchase so far for left-handed use in space sims like Elite Dangerous.

    Awesome sticks, especially for the price
    I bought these for getting into space flight games, and almost went with more expensive sticks but decided to be good and stick to my budget.

    I’m very glad I did, these sticks are exactly what I wanted!
    Initially I thought they not be good quality because of the price compared to other joystick sets but I’m very happy with them so far.

    They are made of plastic, and have a good weight to them so don’t feel cheap.
    There are plenty of buttons, sliders and other inputs so you’re not short of controls.

    As for feel, they are robust so far, and responsive. I’ve been using them for a few weeks so I’ll have to see how they hold up long term, but I’m fairly confident they should last well.

    Software wise, you can download the Target software from their website, although the games I’ve played (Star Citizen and Elite) haven’t needed it as they recognised the sticks fine.

    The one criticism I have is the base buttons could do with a little more obvious identification on the button so you can more easily find the right ones without looking.
    Don’t get me wrong, they do have indents and ridges to help, but they kind of blend together, to me at least.
    That said, that’s a minor niggle and just really takes practice to get the motor functions down.

    All in all, a great set of sticks at a bargain price!

    Very accurate controlle
    My husband went from using a premium brand single stick with throttle to using a pair of these to play Elite. He has waxed lyrical about how he can now fight ‘Thargoids’ and the high quality of the ‘gimble’. I generally smile and nod.

    He’s happy, I’m happy and apparently Thargoids are unahppy. It’s a win, win, loose situation!

    De las mejores opciones calidad precio
    Me hice con este pack hace ya mas de un ao y diria que es una de las mejores compras que puedes hacer, va genial, una precision espectacular, se nota que se paga una marca de calidad, ademas de ser este joystick en concreto muy famoso por su precision, tiene muchos botones por lo que hay un monton de opciones de configuracion, la palanca de gases si la ajustas bien la presion con los tornillos que tiene va muy fina, ademas tiene un joystick y una palanca detras que van de miedo para ciertas configuraciones, es super versatil y trae otros tantos botones para confirurar un monton de funciones, tiene un software especifico para darle configuraciones pudiendo poner alguna que viene creada o importar o personalizar. Los pedales nunca habia probado unos pero los veo super importantes para la inmesion, tambien van finos y traen tambien palanca de freno asi que evidentemente este es un set completisimo a un precio dificil de igualar por la calidad que aporta. Por poner una pega pondria que los botones de abajo del joystick son un poco lentos para acceder a ellos y que la palanca es algo grande, un detalle importante quiza para algunas personas es que se puede poner para zurdos el joystick. RECOMENDADO

    has a good weight which reduces movement on the desk. So far zero creep when zeroed as well. easy to setup in my game, all the buttons are simple to assign as well. You can program all manner of things with it but so far no need for me to do that.; have recommended to friends as well.

    quality ambidextrous joystick
    I bought this to replace a matcatz stick that was getting beyond its best. I chose thrustmaster based upon previous experience. The stick is easy to use – plenty of buttons and the stick movement is smooth. I did choose this stick because I am very much left handed, only to find that on converting it to left hand mode (which is quite easy) I am now so conditioned in using a right-handed joystick that using it in left hand mode was nigh on impossible – so back to right hand moce it has been. Good quality – recommended.

    Only decent joystick for the price
    Strong build, no problems with deadzone, its a good all rounder. You wont find better at this price, its a far superior stick then the x56. Only issues i had was the stick has alot of tension like a steering wheel with no power steering and a lack of a much needed shift key. After using the x56, T16000m and the mach2, In the end i went for the raptor mach 2 stick which is a vkb gladiator replica. Movement of the stick is smoother has shift key to increase hat and trigger functions. Only issue was the Twist axis needed more of twist before it would register, the t16000m has a better twist axis.

    Tout à fait ce à quoi je m'attendais !
    M’tant bien renseign avant de le prendre, le pack est parfaitement conforme mes attentes. Les commandes sont prcises, surtout le joystick, qui se manie non sans fatigue en raison de sa forte rsistance, ce qui peut plaire ou non.

    La manette des gazs comporte plthore de boutons, ce qui est trs utile, bien qu’elle manque d’un crantage le long de sa course. Il arrive qu’on ne sache plus o ont en est avec ses gazs sans regarder le tableau de bord de l’appareil pilot, ce qui peut s’avrer un peu difficile en dogfight.

    Tout cela malgr un plastique basse qualit qui revient sur chacun des composants du pack. Il est difficile de trouver un meilleur joystick ce prix, j’en suis convaincu. voir comment tout cela tiendra avec le temps.

    Two of these for Elite Dangerous work grea
    Having upgraded from a 20 year old MS Sidewinder Precision 2, these are amazing.

    I specifically got two of these to play Elite Dangerous. This is a fairly common HOSAS set up for this game and I even think the orange hints were designed to match Elite’s orange HUD.

    By having tap/hold macros and setting one key on each stick to become [Shift] after 0.5s I can 3 different actions per button (for example, I have one button that’s engine boost on tap, supercruise on hold for 0.5s and combined with shift on the other stick it functions as system jump. So even with the fairly limited buttons I can play the entire game while never removing my hands from the sticks.

    Build quality seems good, I’m not sure what the point of the LED in the base is, I’d rather just have the stick and save a little cost.

    I’ve now got about 100 hours of use in-game with them and they are performing excellently. I am slightly concerned about people complaining about broken Z axis on here but I haven’t had any issues yet.

    Good all round package for the price
    Joystick, throttle and pedals make this a good around package for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator. The units are plastic but have a good feel and work well with the software. The joystick can be used without the throttle and pedals as it has these functionalities built-in but having all three units seems more authentic. Joystick & throttle have rubber feet so it limits movment.

    The only thing I would have liked is to have the ability to adjust the tension on the pedals side-to-side movement (rudder). They are easy to move with your feet, almost too easy but you get used to it.

    Very happy with this stick from point of purchase
    Love the sheer amount of hat switches this thing has, 4 switch types, and 1 analogue multi-dir.. very nice indeed!
    Stick is very solid to the feel and the primary front facing firebutton is way less flimsy than i thought it was going to be.. its very comfortable and doesn’t dig into your fingers like the cheaper HOTAS-X tflight.

    Overall the stick as i currently have it is very precise, and i can make micro adjustments more precisely than the one this stick replaced too.. so its good if you are jus wanting to trim off a little on your axis

    Loads of buttons on the stick and if you configure a button as a shift function you can double up too! So no complaints there at all!

    What don’t i like so much?
    Ok the throttle control itself i like, but I have to say i would have liked a forward/reverse thrust control with a noticable notch in the middle for centreing.. i’ve worked around this but still, it would have been nice to have that.

    I look after my equipment and can see many years (hopefully) of use from this stick.

    I recommend!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersArrived a day earlier than expected...
    Arrived a day earlier than expected, but still had to wait about 7 days from ordering ( came from France to UK – kept in touch with seller who was extremely helpful – thank you ). Unboxed and connected joystick and throttle to a 4 USB 3rd gen ‘gang’, bought separately but advertised to go with this package on Amazon at the bottom of the seller’s advert for an extra cost, the rudder pedal’s RJ12 connector fits into the throttle body, which has it’s own USB connector ( all 3rd gen ). Read the leaflets ( 1 for each controller – joystick – throttle – rudder / pedals ), went to Thrustmaster’s website and downloaded manuals and drivers and calibration software easily – couldn’t wait so took a Cessna 172P training aircraft for a little ‘taxi’ on the tarmac ( I’m really new to Flightgear 2021 ), and all was well except for the rudder / pedals – found another driver ‘all-in’ software pack on the Thrustmaster website and downloaded that too. So far all is well and looking forward to learning to fly ! ( The last time I looked the package was 20 cheaper – during the Covid pandemic prices went up – everyone sheltering from Covid wanted to learn to fly so prices went up as the bundle became scarce I believe – so should be a little cheaper now. If you get this bundle YouTube has plenty of videos reviewing the bundle – and I can’t argue with anything I came across so far – Happy Days !! Overall, pleased with the experience and taking to the skies soon hopefully ! Simulator bought for this was Flightgear 2021 – 6 disk pack – World scenery – Over 50 aircrafts including a helicopter or two – Tutorial disk with vocal instructions – Many World airports. Patience is the key to learning to fly with Flightgear – A flight simulator many flight trainees use on PC which is more real World experience including air traffic controller vocals – more a starter to real flying than a game for shooting things so beware. Can be intensive, but, if you want to get very close to the real thing Flightgear’s right up your alley for this bundle. Finally, Flightgear does use up quite a heavy amount of PC resources, so consider something more like a good flying game if all you want to use this bundle for is to just get into the skies and shoot down an enemy with this flight controller kit. Flightgear uses openGL settings and a graphics card similar to Nvidia GeForce 1050 Ti GTX which is what I have, and a CPU starting around 3300- 3600 MHz. Find out all you can before buying a flight sim to use with this kit. All in all pleased. 4 Stars for now simply because there is better out there but is so much more expensive. This a great ‘middle of the road’ piece of kit. ( This meets my budget, and first-time learning to fly experience with Flightgear 2021 ! ) Good luck ! UPDATE: Having tried to get the Thrusmaster T16000m fcs running with Flightgear, I’ve since had to get a Thrustmaster T.RJ12 USB ADAPTER for the pedal’s T.RJ12 connector, which doesn’t register in Flightgear if plugged into the throttle female T.RJ12 connector, and a USB 3.0 HUB to accommodate 3 USB 3.0 connectors, ( 1 for the joystick, and throttle and pedals ). You will also have to at some point learn .XML or HTML language for the odd programming and script writing to be able to change some settings ! Having said all of that…I wanted Flightgear for the helicopter tutorials and I’m going to stubbornly continue my quest ! p.s. If you prefer to get a Microsoft Flight Sim’ be very well aware of what you will need, and whether the version you get for this Thrustmaster package has been discontinued. And if you think it’s all hard work, I’ve seen some cracking flight simulator rigs that have taken over the lives and provide a lot of entertainment for some !! A labour of love ! Good luck !

    Works as advertised, just wish there where more modern games that works with it though. I haven’t used other joysticks so I don’t know how it compares but it felt responsive and tight to me.

    I don’t consider myself a hardcore player of flight sims and flight combat sims but I do find them very fun to play so I got the HOTAS for a better experience.

    It is very worth it, you will not go back to a controller or a KB-M set up anytime soon if you get it.

    Good for the price, has slight downfalls you need to consider.
    Got this alongside a thrustmaster t16000m joystick in order to play Elite Dangerous and so far I haven’t had any real issues. Only thing I’ve found to be a bit annoying is that sliding the throttle can be a bit stiff, although that seems to be getting better with time. Also worth mentioning is that the throttle itself is surprisingly big and my hands aren’t the biggest so there’s a bit of maneuvering required to get to all the buttons and especially the paddles, but I don’t consider it that big an issue. Just something to be mindful of.

    Se non si vuole spendere un patrimonio, questo kit rimane l’unica alternativa valida. Ho apprezzato la precisione dello stick, consente di volare bene in formazione. Provengo da thrustmaster hotas X e il miglioramento notevole.
    La pedaliera ha ovviamente un’escursione inferiore a quella reale di un’aereo/elicottero, per cui bisogna un po’ adattarsi.

    Pros:
    1.Affordable (compared to HOTAS Warthog).
    2.Best in class accuracy and sensitivity. I can maintain a stable hover in a helicopter (Enemy Engaged RAH 66 COMMANCHE VS KA52 HOKUM) without using cyclic trim. This I could not do in my earlier HotasX
    3. Sliders on throttle and pedals are greased.
    4. Fully customisable using TARGET (S/J response curves). Aslo it is Plug-n-Play if customisation is not your thing. You can write scripts, make profiles.
    5. Robust build quality. Solid packaging. Impeccable delivery.
    6. Contrary to other reviews, I did not find any jittery movement on the throttle slider (some have said helo sims are unplayable….nope not for me).
    7. Enough buttons and axes to satisfy gaming needs for the average person. Earlier on my HotasX I had to map virtual sticks using JoyToKey program for Enemy Engaged.
    8. Stick is ambidextrous and Allen keys and spare grip supplied with product.
    9. Stick has a nice orange backlight (some may have problems with this ambience).
    10. Discounted price from Rs 25k to 18k (I had been follwing this for some time).

    Cons:
    1. Stick slider knob has some play but not unusable. Throttle mini stick has some deadzone on x axis.
    2. Pedals could have been a bit wider. Though I understand it is constrained by logistics.
    3. Throttle handle could have been a bit smaller and same for the stick base. It occupies quite a bit of desk real estate.
    4. No suction cup on base for stability. It does tend to move under intense gaming (this am going to 3d print).
    5. Pedals will take time getting used to. But that’s just me.
    6. Software and script coding has some learning curve. But that’s makes it more interesting and engaging. You can’t skip the manual this time.
    7. Buttons on the stick base are seldom used. Again that’s just me.
    8. Throttle and pedal sliders could use some bush bearings. But those prolly belong to the premium products (this looks like a 3d printing project for me).

    Overall it’s a great buy for me, an upgrade from my earlier TFlight HOTASX. I am not a hardcore simmer or a realism junkie. I don’t play DCS. I like open world sims like Enemy Engaged, Elite Dangerous and War Thunder (it’s an arcade though). So this serves my purpose beautifully. But if you are looking for realism go for the WARTY with those fancy FA-18 and F-16 stick mods (or become a real pilot for that matter) But I like modding and tuning stuff and I have a 3d printer. Will post an edit later. Till then Viva La France!!

    Edit: (update)
    Joystick spring tension is a bit high. I had thought it would loosen up. It doesn’t have options to adjust spring tension unlike my earlier HotasX

    If you are having issues with the stick going into hibernation while using TARGET, connect it to the back USB ports, preferably USB 2.0 and don’t daisy chain the devices. Connect it to separate ports. I am also using extension cable of 2m, no issues here.

    Edit: (update 2)
    Due to Microsoft DirectX limitations, when using TARGET to create profiles for the stick/throttle/pedal combo, only 8 axes are usable (though the sum total of usable axes individually w/o TARGET is 12). But all of them are programmable.

    Edit: (update 3)
    If you are still having problems using the stick in TARGET do the following.
    1. Download USBDeview
    2. Connect stick/throttle/pedal
    3. Run USBDeview.exe as admin
    4. Right click on the stick (highlighted green as T16000M)
    5. Select Open in RegEdit
    6. Expand the highlighted folder in Registry Editor and double click on Device Parameters
    7. Right click on registry dword ‘EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled’ and select Modify
    8. Enter 0 in field Value data and click OK.
    9. Restart your PC and the problem will be gone
    Cheers!

    Best joystick Ive had in years
    Love this, as a left handed gamer, joysticjs have always been annoying since its hard to find decent left handed ones, so the ability to take the thumbrest off and put left thumbrest on is genius, the ability to rotate the wrist rest to be left handed, also genius.

    Joystick is heavoer than others ive had in the past, which is good since its lesss likely to slide about, button layout is done so a left or right person can use them all easily. Feels nice to grip.

    Only downside and why I’ve not given it 5 Stars is that majority of games do auto-map to the buttons as needed, however when the button prompt pops up on screen it just says “button 12” or “button 6” – WHICH ONE IS THAT, THERE’S 20+ BUTTONS OVERALL! They would benefit from having some sort of imprinted numbering on each button to be honest!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our Usersès bon matériel dans l'enssemble, mais quelques points perfectibles
    dans l’enssemble le produit est trs bon, je l’ai fix sur mon petit coin jeu.
    le premier point est atention l’adrance. le gros joystick semble tre assez peu stable. j’ai en partie rsolu le problme en y ajoutant sous le socle des morceaux de velcro autoadsif.
    second point, en tant que personne aveugle, je peu vous dire que l’appellation “braille” sur les boutons de l’article est fausse. au mieu, on peu y reconaitre, de loin, (de trs loin) une lettre a, un c, et une autre lettre a.
    daumage, j’aurais aim avoir le numro des boutons cris en braille ceci m’aurais aid pour comprendre comment il sont dispos.
    tant qu’ dire qu’on fait du braille pourquoi pas ne pas en faire pour de vraie?
    pour l’adrance, une petite paire de vantouse aurait t un bon ajout sous les lments pour en assurer la fixation.
    enfin d’un point de vue technique, je trouve un peu daumage que les deux lments principaux ne soit pas connect enssemble, se serait top (si possible) d’avoir une seul prise USB.
    il est a noter que prsentement on donc deux lments, un pour l’acclration reli au palonier, et un joystick.
    le truc c’est que certains jeux (comme TDV three D velocity, un jeu de pilotage sonore fait pour lkes personnes aveugles) n’ont pas encore de prise en charge de tel dispositif multi lments. donc chaque fois que je tente de bouger un des axes de se joystick mon jeu crash et se ferme.
    en dsespoir de cause je l’utilise avec antimicro pour faire d’autre actions, comme mixer et sound design, mais l encore la prsense des palonier fait de temps en temps des choses bizares come presser une touche en boucle…
    en somme mon utilisation est particulire, et donc c’est un retour un peu spcial, il me reste pofiner ou scripter pour rendre se joystick tout a fait compatible avec ce que j’utilise, mais globalement j’aime bien l’ergonomie du tout, et j’aimerais beaucoup pouvoir jouer a des simulateur de vol avec a.

    ci fosse stato il force feedback, sarebbe stato il degno successore del mitico sidewinder.
    mancano un paio di cose ma secondo me resta un ottimo prodotto.
    al throttle manca lo status di idle, vale a dire che sarebbe stato il top poter gestire anche il reverse.
    il joystick lo trovo molto comodo e preciso con pulsanti a volont.
    i pedali li avrei preferiti un po’ + “duri” e non mi pare di aver visto da qualche parte la possibilit di regolarli.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGood for Flight Simulator 2020, Great for Elite Dangerous (with caveats)
    This is an excellent HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick!) but there are some caveats. Firstly for the price vs performance I would say this is spot on for both simulator enthusiasts and everyday gamers looking for an enhanced experience. Do note however, that at time of writing its currently retailing around 135 (I got this for 80ish a few years back).

    How is it for Flight Simulator 2020?
    = Good, almost everything can be done from the controllers – the throttle in particular has about 16 different buttons (including D-axies) in addition to the stick itself. I would highly recommend rebinding many of the keys so that you aren’t having to constantly put both hands on the joystick for adjusting the flaps or trim for example. The main thing that irked me is the throttle axis for ‘free look’ was constantly pulling right and I could find no way to calibrate the axis, in the end having to rebind this entirely. You will be regularly pushing CTRL-C to check which button corresponds to which urgent request flashing on screen.

    How is it for Elite Dangerous?
    = Excellent, everything can be done from the HOTAS setup. For Elite I think this set-up is king, although I may be saying this from greater familiarity with the setup then compared to FS2020.

    How is it on other games?
    I’ve greatly enjoyed using this stick for a range of combat simulators, notably IL 2 Sturmovick but its also great for Truck Simulator 2 and a range of other simulator driving games if you don’t have a wheel or prefer something a bit more hefty then an xbox controller.

    How is the software?
    , I have tried using Target a few times, and hoped I could re-calibrate the axis through it but yet to find a way. They make a song and dance of it and I’m sure it is useful for those that wish to exploit it but as an ‘everyday’ gamer rather then an ‘enthusiast’ I’ve got other things to be doing.

    How is its durability?
    I’ve mentioned the wandering axis which is a shame, but thankfully one of the minor ones (its the little thumb stick at the front of the throttle). Nothing else seems to have broken in the last few years. The throttle and flapping pads in particular feel excellent (especially in Elite), the joystick likewise fits well in my large hand – I’m hoping this will continue to last me many years.

    One odd thing, the joystick has a lovely orange LED glow which is really cool – and meant to show when its in use. But even when my computer is turned off it continues to glow at all times – odd that.

    Für den Preis okay
    Leider war das erste Hotas dass mir zugesendet wurde schon gebraucht gewesen und die Gerte allesamt aus der Qualittskontrolle mit 2 gelabled.
    Hatte hier schon ein paar Rezensionen gelesen in denen genau das passiert ist. Also Vorsicht! Amazon versucht retour B Ware zu versenden hier.

    Ich habe dies direkt beim Kundenservice gemeldet und darum gebeten mir Neuware zu liefern. Man sendete mir ein neues und auch neuwertiges Produkt und danach konnte ich das bereits erhaltene Gert zurck senden. Ich hatte also keinen Ausfall dazwischen.

    Ansonsten kann ich das Gert erstmal nur empfehlen. Es tut was es soll. Funktioniert in allen Spielen.

    Einzig der Stick ist nicht immer zentriert meiner Meinung nach. Man muss hin und wieder mal dran herum rtteln.
    Und der Schubcontroller bewegt sich bei langsamen Bewegungen ruckelig als wenn er nicht richtig gelt wre. Ich habe es mit etwas l versucht aber noch keine wirkliche Lsung gefunden das zu beheben.

    Fr Space Sims reicht das auch. Im Flight Simulator ist das mit dem Schub ein wenig problematisch denn hier bentigt man schon etwas genauere Schubcontrolle.

    Great HOTAS. Highly recommended.
    I’ve been using this for a few months now. I use it for Elite Dangerous and X-Plane 11 and it works a treat. It is a completely plastic construction and feels very light. Dispute this it sits nicely on a desk and doesn’t move around under heavy use.

    The resistance on the stick is just about right, not too strong but not too light.

    The trigger is VERY plastic and feels quite flimsy but I haven’t had any issues with it yet. I would prefer much more tactile feedback from it and a more firm click but for the price it’s ok. The other buttons on the stick are also a bit too soft and again could do with a much for tactile feedback to confirm presses. Again I’ve had no issues with missed button presses or anything I just think it would add to the feeling of quality.

    The size and ergonomics of the stick are good. It’s comfortable to use for long sessions. Issue I’m having with mine is that the hand rest at the bottom is loose and doesn’t seem to be possible to tighten it. You can change the right hand setup to a left hand I’ve with included changeable rests.

    The throttle is very nice. The buttons here feel very different to the stick buttons and the many, many hats are also really good a nice feeling. It’s weird why they feel so different to one another.

    Issue with the throttle is the slide. At the standard setting it becomes sticky very quickly. This isn’t because of the lube used on the throttle but the resistance they have set. When you get the throttle push it all the way forward and on the bottom there will be a screw revealed which will allow you to increase or reduce the resistance of the throttle. With a little bit of fiddling I got it to feel far less sticky and to my liking.

    Throttle is quite big but all buttons and hats are easily reached.

    I really recommend this throttle if you want to get into flying. It’s versatile enough to be used with various sims and feels like it could last a good amount of time.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersAwesome but now significantly overpriced.
    These are for the determined player! The magnetic sensor they use does not wear out like a potentiometer. So while these are expensive the sensor will be consistent over the entire life of the product. I have used these for years and eventually the ball joint just becomes sloppy and the trigger switch will fail. However that takes years, ordinary joysticks fail very quickly because the potentiometer wears out. These just go on forever.
    The last three of these I have bought the trigger switch has failed. This is largely because the trigger switch is just a generic, cheap micro switch. I have even bought a pack of switches now so I can repair them in future! But even so, inside about three years the ball joint will wear out and that will be the end of the joystick. It does help if you frequently add some silicon lubricant but sooner or later it will be the death of the stick.
    By the way, these are in fact just two identical joysticks. They even supply the parts to convert from right to left and left to right handed for both of them. The set just represents a saving over buying two separate joysticks.
    Unfortunately, in recent years the price of these have just gone through the roof. When I first started buying the single joysticks they were 25 each. Now they are 110 the pair. That’s insanity. These are good sticks but there is no way they are THAT good. The quality just isn’t there. Given how expensive they are, Thrustmaster should solve the problem of the sloppy ball joints and the cheap trigger switches so they justify their high price.
    Recommended with some complaint!!

    Un pack para principiantes y usuarios medios muy competitivo.
    Sinceramente, despus de unos dos meses de uso debo decir que estoy contentsimo con la compra.

    Compr este pack con cierto miedo despus de ver varios comentarios diciendo que daba error despus de usarlo X tiempo, otros decan que era un error de fbrica y que todos los joystick que tena Amazon lo tenan, que no os timen, funciona perfectamente.

    Si os da fallos en un juego SIM puede que sea por que otro gamepad est conectado al mismo tiempo y de fallos. Soy usuario de DCS y de IL2 y casualmente me ha pasado esto hace unas semanas, desconect el gamepad y listo, ojo, si lo mismo pasa a la inversa, si estis en otro juego y tenis conectado el joystick+palanca de gases+ pedales y el juego no va bien o dice no reconocer el gamepad es por esto, desconectad el pack y listo.

    En general estoy muy contento, quizs de los pocos fallos que le encuentro al pack es que la palanca de gases vino poco engrasada y no fluye bien, parece que se atranca un poco vamos, pero es un mal menor, le echare un poquito de 3 en 1 y listo.

    P.D.: el joystick tiene modo zurdo

    Super smooth and reasonably priced - but braking can be hard when using the rudde
    It’s good and works really nicely. Easy to clean compared to my previous set of rudder pedals from Logitech. The pedals feel smooth and easy to move, but if you are pushing the toe brakes then you will find it very hard to move the pedals. From time to time, I have also found it quite hard to keep the pedals in the centre as it is not very distinct where the centre is.

    Purchased to use with X-Plane on PC and it’s been fantastic. Took very little time to calibrate and works well with the sim. The instructions were sparse but it’s fairly obvious how to set up. The rudder pedals are quite close together but are tolerable for my size 12 feet. All in all, these are great value for money while I save up for (and justify to my wife) the full Warthog rig
