Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been wanting to get Flight Sticks to use in various games. This was on sale and I decided to give it a try. After using it for a couple of weeks, I can say my experience has varied from game to game. This device is not too heavy, can separate in two for better ergonomics but the cable is too short. I've seen multiple reviews cutting the wire and extending it with 2 ethernet CAT cords. I'm not ready to void my warranty yet so I've been playing with the sticks attached together. There are mounting points underneath for attaching them to a chair, which is neat. Make sure to download the drivers if you intend to use them on PC. I haven't tried it on PlayStation as I don't have any games on that platform that could benefit from this controller. The best game it has worked with so far is Star Wars Squadron. It picked it up immediately and I could play without any configuring. The game also supports VR, which I tried with the Oculus Quest but be wary that it could make you motion sick any time you look around your cockpit. War Thunder worked once you figure out how to select the brand and model of HOTAS you are using. After that I was able to play a few missions. DCS so far has not worked too great but I have a friend who's working with me on getting this setup. I think it'll work great once it's setup properly. Battlefield 2042 is the worst game to date. Flight sticks don't work at all. My character was stuck looking down at the ground for as long as the flight sticks were plugged in. Looking online, there is no support at all for HOTAS controls. Another reason to avoid that game. I'm sure there are other games to try and I will find them. Maybe in the future I'll get something fancier but for now I am satisfied with this.

Loved it. Must have for your PS5 MSFS2024 playing experience.

It’s better than your basic controller waiting on the new velocity controller

Bought for my son for Christmas. He says it works well and likes the ease of use.

Great addition to the PS5! Makes Flight Simulator even more fun!

My son is going to love this thing! He hasn’t gotten it yet but I opened it and it’ll be perfect!

My daughter loves it! She wants to fly some day and says it matches some of the simulators she has done.

Not bad for the ps5 , am a beginner it's very user friendly

I purchased Squadrons VR for PS4 and attempted to use the standard PS4 controller to play it, which is rather confusing as there are A LOT of buttons, which made it not so much fun to play as most of the time was spent figuring out the controls. With everyone being home during this pandemic, Flight Sticks are hard to find or pricey on Amazon as you don’t have much of a choice there as everyone is raising the prices. This particular flight stick is 2x the amount at Best Buy. TWICE THE PRICE for the same product!!! Luckily, Best Buy doesn’t overcharge during these times, but stock is limited, as it took me 2 weeks to be able to purchase, but worth it. Using the flight stick made Squadrons VR a lot more intuitive. There are specific /recommended button configurations (which can be found on the website) to make the game you want to play (Squadrons, Combat Aces, Flight Sim). It takes some time to map it, but the 20 mins spent on button mapping is worth it, and now I enjoy playing Squadrons VR. The flight stick comes as 2 separate pieces (connected with a cable) so you can play it in whichever way you feel comfortable, but it also comes with an allenwrench and screw to attach them together (as pictured) which makes it easy to simply put on your lap and play that way. There are plenty of other flight sticks that can have MORE buttons, and other features, but those triple/quadruple the price of this “entry level” flight stick. I’m pretty happy with this particular flight stick, especially at the Bestbuy price point.

It's great just now getting used to flying on flight ✈️ simulator ps5

I bought this for my bf and he loves playing with it.

Good Quality and works well. Would buy again in the future.

This was a perfect gift for my son. He loves playing his games with it. Perfect gift!

item came nicely packaged and super fast delivery.

Very good product that works great! Ver good deal for a good price,

Console-ready HOTAS works well with reasonable responsiveness to PS4 and PS5 games. Available software makes setting up for PC use solid as well. Throttle stops in mid-point, which is good for certain games but is mildly irritating for Sims that use the whole range for throttle controle. For the money, there is not a better entry level HOTAS out there. That being said, as it lacks many of the features of other Thrustmaster models and is limited to only 10 buttons if you are looking for a PC HOTAS consider looking up to the next level. For consoles, where options are significantly more limited, this is the one to get if you are using Playstation products.

I purchased this stick to use on PC with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and it works great! There are a few things that could be better, but I knew what I was getting when I purchased it. Let's start with a few good things. The fact that you can separate the throttle from the flight stick is fantastic. I place my keyboard in between them. The flight stick has some adjustment by using the knob on thy bottom. I loosened mine up a bit. The twist rudder works well. There are plenty of buttons which covers the most essential controls. The biggest con is the detent on the throttle. It gets a bit annoying fighting it for fine control, but I understand that it's likely done for collective control on helicopters. This stick does not have hall effect sensors, so it may not be super precise, but I have enjoyed many hours of flying none the less. If you're looking for a good stick to start with, you'd should be on your list.

Let me start off by saying. If you are like me and maybe playing with a controller and aren't doing bad but think just maybe if you got one of these you are magically going to be a lot better pilot.. It didn't work out that way for me lol. I was doing decent with my xbox controller. Got one one of these and... I was all over the place.. It did not feel natural. I could fly relatedly smooth on a controller but was all over the place with this stick. Maybe I would be better off with a Yoke setup.. Maybe I just prefer my controller and keyboard. Aside from that I was actually surprised by build quality the plastic feels hefty. Also very comfy to grip. The part connecting the stick to the base looked cheap. Stick movement didn't feel very smooth at all. The throttle moves a little too fast for my liking. I was expecting it to feel more slow when pushing it up and down.. The notch in the middle didnt bother me at all.

Honestly working perfect for space ship/airplane simulators. Quite amazing to be able to twist, turn in two emphasies on the x axis, and use the y axis at the same time. Could use another Y axis control as follows: Only thing I would change for the next production cycle is adding left hand middle/ring finger development support by making another analog stick to simulate swipes on the touchpad or whatnot. And possibly a right hand grip button where the awkwardly integrated face plate is, for the specialist controllers that have back button support. Aaaaand it really needs VR driver collaboration.

What i like is it feel so real and my dream is to be a fighter jet pilot
