Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very confusing to use but really good quality. Responsive controls for star citizen.

Very well made. The base of the Throttle and Stick both have a very sturdy feel to them. The Joystick has a good amount of tension to it but not too much to where you feel as if you are fighting the stick for control. Plenty of buttons to go around. The pedals are much nicer in person than the photos do justice. The plastic is very thick and they are well made and seem like they will last a good while. The software is a bit of an easter egg hunt to find on Thrustmaster's site, but once installed works nicely and makes it easy to remap the stick. I played a decent bit of Elite Dangerous with it in and out of VR. I am not really sure how I played the game without it. It is well worth the extra hundred or so dollars to get this on vs the others for sale due to the much nicer feel an extra buttons. My only gripe with the system is that the throttle handle is pretty big for my small hands. I wish I could adjust the grip or change out for a smaller one. Also to note, the stick works for right handers or left handers with a few modifications in the form of a switch on the bottom of the joystick and reversible thumb and handrests.

Great hardware but the software user interface is terrible and unintuitive. You'll probably need to watch a few videos about it just to be able make and save profiles for your games. Good news is the software works and once you set your profiles you never have to touch it again. The build quality of the hardware is good for being made out of almost all plastic, I did glue weights in the bottom to make the joystick and throttle more stable on my desk. If you are willing to pay more and some cases several times more their are way better options. But if you not hard core into space or flying sims and looking for a good value this is a great way to go. Also I bought an open box unit from best buy and the only thing that indicated that it was an open box unit was the tape best buy used to seal it. All the manuals, foam, plastics, twist ties were there and it had looked like it wasn't ever touched.

Exactly as advertised in the online reviews !!!!!!

Plug and play. Its a solid starter kit. My only complaint is the lubrication for the rails on the throttle and pedals. Movement isnt as smooth as id like after a few months. Nothing has drifted off center yet, so i havent had to set a deadzone.

Includes more than I looked for but pleasantly surprised. All parts are very precise and smooth giving good control and quick response. Large number of buttons and switches allow HOTAS functions to be well mapped along with plenty of stick base buttons to assign in place of keyboard mapping. Stick, throttle, and peddles are all comfortable to use. Everything is immediately recognized by Windows 10 and works extremely well in MSFS and DCS World with the F-16, F/A-18, and the user made C-130. The three parts use 2 USB ports as the peddles plug into the throttle and is recognized as additional axis of the throttle. A separate adapter can be purchased for the peddles to allow it to be plugged in to a USB port independently.

Bought for use with Elite Dangerous and PC. Setup was straightforward and the software offered a lot of options that I did not really end up fiddling with yet. In game mappings were enough to get up and running. It's a little tricky memorizing the mappings with a VR helmet on but it's doable. The overall feel is a little more plasticky than I had hoped for for the price and the foot pedals are too close together to get a comfortable position so I ended up putting them to the side. it did not detract much as the rotation on the stick allowed for decent yaw control. I would hesitate to buy a lesser setup for a serious dedicated gamer, but a more casual player might save a few bucks elsewhere. If you are really into it saving up for the heavy metal options might be worth it.

Got this for DCS World and Elite Dangerous and it works great. Lots of buttons on the stick and throttle so you'll have to go through the settings of whatever game/sim you're using to setup but you should be able to map just about everything. Happy with my purchase.

Great for any flying game. Easy to connect, but need to upload all drivers first. Could use some printed instructions for reference. Mounts should be metal instead of plastic. Good overall value. Would recommend.

The throttles package was designed well but they do move around a bit too much. The pieces moved smoothly with very minimal travel. A separate USB/RJ11 adapter (sold separately) was needed to properly connect the foot pedals to the computer and communicate effectively. Also, the devices were recognized by Windows 10 but the drivers were generic. You have to go to the manufacturer's website and download the drivers. Yet, they do not have a typical download. No. I had to research, find, and eventually download 3 different packages with mapping diagrams, package software, and then drivers too. They definitely did NOT make it easy to use out of the box. I ended up returning the package because ultimately I just didn't need it after all.

these work really well. wasn't aware how BAD my old controller had gotten until I got these, thought it was just my bad flying lol

Getting ready to take check ride for private pilot license. Using with X-Plane flying the Cessna 172 SP. My son tuned the settings and it pretty accurate to the real thing. Practicing my maneuvers on less desirable weather days and saving some $$$ vs paying to rent the plane. It has paid for itself several times already.

I wish that the throttle had a tactile indicator at the halfway mark, and the flight stick base is a bit too light (I sometimes pick it up a bit in the heat of battle) but overall works well. Thrustmaster setup software is also a nightmare to use.

Great HOTAS kit. The stick has great feel and accuracy. The throttle has lots of buttons and very smooth operation. Rudder pedals are easy to use.

Absolutely love this HOTAS it’s a game changer in elite dangerous while in VR, it truly makes the experience that much better and it makes it a whole lot easier to dogfight and keep up.

Responsive, good button feel, and a balanced return spring on the stick. Best bang for your buck without shopping low tier.

This kit comes with everything you'd need to get your feet wet playing flight simulators or other flying games. One caveat is that you need to purchase an adapter for the pedals if you want to calibrate those separately from the throttle which is what they plug into normally, overall that doesn't take away from the experience, just a small thing for when you get a bit more advanced. In my experience you don't even need the pedals unless you are flying helicopters or plan to work your way into advanced flight maneuvers, so no big deal. The wide range of button placements is nice and allows for customization. Definitely the best value for the cost.

Smooth and easy to use. Works well. Only thing I don’t like it the plasticy feel. I understand it’s plastic but it has that cheap plastic feel. For the money, it’s still a great buy.

These are great flight controls and easy to set up and the button set up is easy as well . very got response time and fun for emersion into your favorite flight game

Definitely worth the purchase as a first time purchaser of a flight HOTAS set + pedals. These are pretty much almost full plastic as expected, but are still extremely solid. I have used for a few weeks now and haven't had any issues. Definitely recommend for someone new to this hobby like myself.
