Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was relatively cheap and it has a high build quality. Especially for the price I was very satisfied with how well it worked. The only things that I would say are cons are the actual stick is a little more stiff than a lot of other flight sticks, and the throttles don't have a center notch so trying to keep it in the exact middle is difficult. Other than that there are plenty of buttons to use. I use my flight stick for elite dangerous. A space flight sim. It has worked flawlessly with that software. 8.5/10 if you have some extra cash I would buy a higher quality flight stick this is definitely a very good beginner flight stick though! P.S. this one also looks dope. With all of its lights and it's high quality build with some rubber parts. Definitely feels better than like a plastic thrustmaster.

I got this for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I had an old flight control joystick, but it was having problems due to its age. This controller not only looks cool with the colorful LED lights, but it also works well. The controls are all smooth and easy to use. It feels solid and sturdy. I am very pleased with it.

As the title says, it has ran flawlessly with FS 2024. No setup needed; just plug, play, and assign custom actions for each button in game. Trim wheel comes in clutch!

Very comfortable flight stick. I love the little display screen. I didn't know this, but you can twist it left and right to simulate rudder controls, which is a really nice feature, of course. I use it for MSFS2024 and it works well from everything from the Cessna 172 to the Boeing 747. There's about 18 different buttons, so you can really map anything to this flight stick.

I’ll make it easy, I could truly only recommend this product to a person that’s beginning flight sims/games and are more compact than full out advanced tech flight games such as DCS and War Thunder. A game I’ve fallen even more in love with using this stick is Nuclear Option, it’s an amazing HOTAS to use on that game in my opinion, I have almost every button programmed to an action. Now, with that in mind, I HIGHLY recommend getting a HOTAS stand/desk mount that’s compatible with it. I got one off amazon for $40 and it’s amazingly strong (even amazons choice! Seller: JUYEER). The reason I recommend this strongly is because the flight stick itself can be a little stern to move around, the spring inside is almost to stiff (good and bad only for people who play for prolong periods and have no mount, like I once was) so with that being said, a stand practically keeps it in place for you at your desired whatever, and my god has it put a lot of relief on my hands and forearms (I’m being dramatic but it definitely helped out with comfortability. Given the right reasoning, I feel I could recommend this product.

Perfect for my needs of recreational flight sim sessions. Easy hook up and great functionality for the price. Was able to mount it straight to racing simulator.

This flight stick is plug and play and very easy to use! The only software is the firmware software that you can download from the turtle beach website. I used it for a few days and my personal favorite setting is you can adjust how fast or slow the joystick reacts when turning/pitch/rotating. Overall great flight stick for the money.

Love this product. As a certified pilot/instructor, flying Microsoft Flight Simulator with legacy Xbox controls was painful and frustrating. Being able to focus more on flying and less time on A/C control inputs with the flight stick has been a game changer. My only frustration is that the product requires a lot of programming and tailoring of settings to recreate a truly realistic flying environment (granted I'm a perfectionist by trade). It doesn't come with much instruction on how to make these adjustments so I had to revert to on-line forums and You Tube accounts to learn the details of how to do this (which took a fair amount of set up time). Now that I've gotten through that, the product is a blast to use and I can't imagine not having it. Mounting it on a 3/8" board (with provided mount screws) is highly recommended to help keep it stable during use.

I have a few joy sticks and been flying simulation for 15yrs or mor and flying pipers for about the same time and this stick feels really good compare to thers in the maeket ...

Found it on sale for $99, and I'm happy with it. Solid construction - will last a while. It allows left and right hand operation, and the throttle levers are smooth with a button click at the end of each direction. You can see the backlight effects in the photo. It comes with screws to mount the base, but I didn't need it.

Great joystick especially for the price! You wont believe this is actually priced near $100. Smart purchase!

This item changed my flight simulator experience, easy to use and set up also gives you more realistic controls

Poorly made. -The throttle levers fall apart, leaving sharp metal posts exposed. -Support pad didn't last long; its only .170 inch thick. -Light. Must be bolted or weighed down. -Threaded mounting inserts are easily broken from the plastic. -Loses accuracy fast. I'm getting drift already after a few hours of use. -Touchpad and is a gimmick and Trim is not on-board. Overpriced for what you get. Worth $50 at best.

My boyfriend loved it. Incredible article, only one of the levers had a small defect it doesn't work the graduation only works when you take it from one end to the other!!! But the rest is incredible

A great a game controller, feels sturdy and soild. Two negatives 1. The controller doesn’t vibrate 2. Lack of game compatibility. currently not worth the price to work for one game.

Worked amazing out of the box and i personally liked all the settings from out of the box.

Soild joystick, affordable, zero complaints at all!

This joystick is cross-compatible with PC and Xbox. Setup for PC it is very simple, you just plug it in, switch it to PC mode and you’re ready to play, simple as that. This flight stick has a throttle control on both sides so you can use one of them for flaps or something else like speed brakes. The trim wheel is great for small props, if you’re going to fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator. There are a lot of buttons for any toggle like gear, flaps, parking brake, etc. I’ve tested this flight stick for a few flights and overall it’s buttery smooth. Throttle control is great and responds well to quick adjustments to speed on approach. A nice thing for Airbus pilots is that they have little marks to the throttle about where to put the lever for the Fly By Wire system. I really like the fact that you can use reverse thrust on this, it’s very satisfying every time you pull back when you land and engage the reverse thrust. There is a trigger for airplane shooter games or it could be just used for anything else like brakes (the trigger in Microsoft Flight Simulator is used as brakes by default) One note on the app for the Microsoft Store noted in the quick start guide - this app is only used for firmware updates and nothing else. But recommend loading so you can check every once in a while to see if there is an update. You can set options like sensitivity, lighting, performance, trim wheel, etc. I really like the ability to change the lighting on this flight stick (note there are just 6 presets – it would be nice to have full customizability on the lighting, but their combinations still look good) The headphone jack is nice for Xbox play and you can actually edit the presets for the performance of the audio which makes it a better experience. Only 2 things where I could see improvement – The joystick base could be heavier. Sometimes when flying making quick turns the base will sometimes tilt which is not good because it can definitely impact the flight. The other is when you twist the flight stick you have to put more push if you want to make a full turn for the rudder. It’s a bit stiff, but I’ll probably get used to it over time. Overall very pleased with this upgrade over my prior flight joystick.

The Turtle Beach VelocityOne™ Flightstick is an impressive controller for flight and space simulation gaming on Windows PC and XBOX systems. Unboxing As soon as I opened the box, I knew this controller would be perfect for replacing my older HOTAS equipment. The entire device feels durable and of high-quality engineering. There are four large rubber pads and three bolt holes on the bottom. The ten-foot USB-C to USB-A cable is braided but not overly stiff. The back of the base has the USB-C connection port and two auxiliary connection ports (for future use). Eight buttons, two slider levers, and a rotary dial are on the top of the base. Four XBOX controller buttons are on the angled front of the base. A 3.5mm headset port is on the right front. The stick has a height-adjustable palm rest which can be mounted on the left or right. The eight buttons, a circle band inside the rotary dial, and a band around the top of the stick have adjustable RGB LED lighting. A rapid-fire trigger is on the front. On the top are two push buttons, a clickable scroll wheel, a cursor-controlling trackpad, an eight-position POV hat, a clickable analog POV hat, and a Flight Management display. The stick is soft-textured and comfortable to grip. The stick is smooth to move in all positions, has a fair amount of tension, and can be twisted for rudder control. Setup A detailed flyer with suggested button mappings and setup instructions is included. However, I recommend reading through the online guides on the Turtle Beach support website. I downloaded the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick application for firmware updates. The firmware update only took a few minutes. When it was completed, I had to force quit the app since there was no visible exit button or icon. I also downloaded the VelocityOne Flightstick app for iOS onto my iPad. The controller can be configured via the Flight Configuration Wheel and the top display. Turning the wheel, selects which setting to display. Clicking the right side of the wheel chooses the setting, and clicking the left side exits the setting. While on the Home Screen, clicking right starts the Chronometer, and left click resets the timer. The adjustable settings are: • Input Mode: Xbox or PC. • Stick Performance: Show stick positioning or set the response profile. • Audio: Sets a range of audio and mic settings. • Trim Wheel: Show positioning or select the type of response. • Rudder Lock: Turn on/off yaw control by twisting the stick. • Pro-Aim: Temporarily reduces the stick sensitivity. • Orientation: For switching between left and right-handed. • Touchpad Sensitivity: Controls the response of cursor movement. • Lighting: Six preset color combinations and brightness. • Bluetooth: For pairing with the Flightstick app. The iOS/Android-based app uses Bluetooth to talk to the controller to manage the following: • Dead Zones: Adjustable for the stick and levers. • Lighting: Six preset color combinations and brightness. • Response: Standard, Precision, and Fast. • Orientation: For switching between left and right-handed. • EQ Mode: Sound settings for the headset port. • Firmware Update: This shows the current version or if a new version is available. Flying Before launching Microsoft's Flight Simulator, I made myself a picture of the controller with callouts to all the controls for use with Microsoft's Flight Simulator. Then I loaded MSFS and configured the controls to match the controller. I flew from Carlsbad, CA, to Apple Valley airport on my first flight with the Flightstick. The throttle and flaps slider is smooth and precise. During the flight, I used the left and right hat controls to look out the windows and scan the instruments in the cockpit. I didn't use the trackpad for cursor control since I have a trackball. I had a crosswind getting into Apple Valley, and I twisted the stick for rudder control. Having buttons assigned to ATC, Navlog, Autopilot, Landing Gear, and Brakes is very helpful. Summary Overall, I am very impressed with the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick. It provides all the functionality I need to control my flights in MSFS. The quality and the range of features at a reasonable price make this a no-brainer purchase. My only minor recommendation is that the base could use a little more weight to keep it on the desk. But with more use, the tension of the stick will loosen up a little and make it easier to keep the base on the desktop. I highly recommend this product to anyone into flying or space simulations.

After purchasing MS Flight Sim I was stuck on what controller to get. I had been using my keyboard for a little while but knew I would need something else. With options ranging from $29 to $4,500 and everywhere in-between, I wasn't sure where to go. Should I get a HOTAS, should I get a yoke? What should I do? Then I found the Turtle Beach - VelocityOne Flightstick. I had used other Turtle Beach products before (headset for Xbox) and thought the quality was outstanding, so in going with a brand name I trust, I went with this flight stick. Overall I am happy with my selection and still may ultimately also get a VelocityOne yoke but for now, as I said, I'm very happy with this option. Out of the box it is easy to use and pre-configured in a way that makes sense. Additionally, it is very easy to customize (once you read the brief online instruction guide). Out of the box it comes prepped for use with an Xbox, but it is easily changeable to PC, which is what I needed. Additionally out of the box it is programmed for a right handed user, but is very easy to switch to left handed, and that includes the hand wrest that screws into either side of the stick. I liked the instant integration with the game as well. On the "Objectives" window when it gives you a step, it also tells you which button number to press to accomplish that step. Example: B2 to release brakes. (And while the buttons are reversed when you toggle between right and left handed, the game is not smart enough to change the button numbers on the objective you must do the simple calculation swap in your head. Button 1 = Button 5, Button 2 = Button 6 etc.). I do wish that they would include a more inclusive user manual than what is provided in the box, but scanning a QR code is the new manual, I get that, and I strongly encourage anyone who purchases this to scan the QR code in the quick start guide and spend 5 minutes going over the detailed instructions. There are quite a few settings that I am eager to learn to tweak like trim wheel, analog axis, etc. One of the things that I think would be most beneficial is the ability to modify the stiffness of the stick. When making small movements, it is sometimes difficult, especially for a novice, to keep a plane flying straight or level. Also, and this is a big one for me, I wish there were suction cups on the bottom, or a clamp or some other way to make the base more stable. I leave the controller flat on my desk and in simulations, such as fighter jet or something where you need less than gentle movements, the base of the stick rises off the desk and you lose the direction you were trying to move the plane in. Overall this is solidly built and has enough customization for 99% of sim fliers out there and I would definitely recommend.
