Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller works very well with Star Wars Squadrons running on a PS4. Add a PSVR headset and headphones and it really feels like you flying Rebel and Imperial starfighters. I did not test this with a PC yet but it is compatible with PC as well. Don't forget the old school X-Wing and Tie Fighter games for PC which the Thrustmaster Hotas 4 would be a great choice to use with. The controller seems durable but I would have preferred spending a bit more for more metal and less plastic materials.

I am new to gaming, looking for some fun in this pandemic being stuck in the house and this flight stick really, really adds to flying games. The reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is that it only works with just 6 games and sometimes I have to power the PS4 console down for it to reset my settings in the middle of a game, even though it has the latest firmware. Compared to the standard PS4 controller this stick allows great control and adds excitement to your playing.

Bought this flight stick specifically to use with my PS4 VR Headset to give me a more realistic control of Ace Combat 7. This thing handles and feels just a little like the more expensive joysticks but obviously not quite as precise. There is a kind of lose feel to the thruster control but I can get past that when you have your VR headset on. I’d definitely say that if you want that realistic feel for your flight games for both PlayStation 4 and PC but don’t want to speed to much on a joystick, then this is a awesome alternative.

Great bang for your buck HOTAS. I bought this to play Ace Combat on PS4/PS5 in VR and now I use it on my PC as well for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and DCS. It works very good with the T.Flight Rudders as well. While this is all plastic, it doesn't feel overly cheap and it can take some damage (My dogs and cats have knocked it off of my desk a few times). Also, you can separate the throttle from the joystick.

I bought this to use on both my PS4 and my gaming PC, and use it about 50/50 on each. It connects with a single USB cable, and has good support for Microsoft Flight Simulator, as well as Star Wars Squadrons and Ace Combat 5. The throttle could use a little more resistance, but otherwise, the tactile response adds a whole new level of realism to my favorite VR games for PC and Playstation. Availability has been a challenge this past year, but if you can get one, it's well worth it.

Purchased this to play Star Wars Squadrons on my PlayStation and it works flawlessly. The button mapping was pretty flawless on the developers end and it makes the flight experience so much more immersive, especially when paired with PSVR. The best part is it’ll work on PC too when I finally get my Oculus Link set up. Ideally, you want the controls resting on a rigid object and it will be an even better experience if you can mount them. But they work reasonable well on either side of you on a couch.

Very good flight stick. Would be perfect if it had force feedback. The flight stick would immediately go into a death spiral and I thought it was broken out of the box. I found out you have to update the drivers so I connect to a laptop and downloaded the drivers. Works perfect!

I bought this primarily to play ace combat with and have had an enjoyable experience with the controller. It does feel a little cheap compared to expensive flight sim gear, but it does the job fine.

Very nice and pretty affordable! This was a no brainer for any type of flying IMO. We used it for airbus on MS flight sim.

I got this specifically for Ace Combat 7, but it also works with Eve Valkyrie (VR and nonVR). If you like flying games and spend a bunch of time with them, then you have to get this. I think it might be a bit much for people who are casual unless you've got money to burn. It works well. I like having the feeling of shooting guns vs missiles. I Wish it had rumble. I've never tested a more premium flight stick, so this felt more than quality enough for me. I don't have the stomach for flight games in VR, but if you do and enjoy them, then you need this.

Although I only have a handful of games that are compatible with this stick, at least to me it is worth it. This works well, I have had no problems with using it and the build quality is solid enough. I can play my PC flight games as well.

Easy setup. Handles well for all my flying games/simulators

The product itself seems to work fine. The buttons could be better labeled. What grinds my gears is that this is the second time an item has been delivered with the box previously opened. The tape sealing the box has been removed. Nothing appears to be missing, but it's annoying thing for them to charge full price for an opened item.

Great flight stick I guess since I use it for PS5 and it will only use a HOTAS and this is the only one. Come on PlayStation unlock some junk.

I bought an open-box version, which includes some risks. The device appeared to be in good condition when I received it and seemed to work fine for a few weeks. But, then the X-axis sensor became flaky and was constantly giving invalid, continuously changing values even when the joystick was completely stationary. If you google this joystick, you'll find that this is a fairly common failure. By the time I realized the issue and took action, it was too late to return it to Best Buy, so I had to file a warranty claim with the manufacturer. That process was relatively painless and they shipped it quickly (from France!). I got a replacement within about a week of filing my warranty claim. The new stick is working great so far. I use it on PC for Microsoft Flight Simulator and it has a good assortment of controls for that game. I'd say that the only issue that I have is the throttle control. It has a notch/stop at 50% that makes it challenging to make smooth changes right around the midpoint. But you get used to that. Also, it seems a bit loose. If you set it to ~85% throttle and release it, it will sometimes fall forward to 100% due to its own weight.

I purchased this flight stick for playing Star Wars Squadrons on PS4 and the joystick performs it's job beautifully. The button placements are well thought out and the cord is long enough to not have to compromise on proximity to TV. My only minor complaint is the base should be a little heavier. The stick has a tendency to lift off the table when performing quick turns. Overall, worth the price.

Very solid joystick. Using it to play Star Wars Squadrons on PS4. PS4 recognized it without incident. Has all of the buttons you would need to play most flight games. If you're a hardcore flight sim person, you'll want a higher priced, option, but you already kew that. One cool feature is that the throttle and joystick bases do separate, so you can have them physically linked together as one unit or keep them apart for more space between them.

The HOTAS works great for the Ace Combat VR missions. It helped me a lot since the dual shock controls were on the wrong sticks for someone who flies radio control models. It made the dual shock unusable. Thrustmaster saved the day for a reasonable price. About the VR missions, I did hurt my neck a bit yanking and banking. Looking over your shoulder in the VR gear then snapping back the other way while tracking a target with your eyes. You need to be careful how fast you move.

Works amazing for Ace Combat 7. This is my first flight stick but I didn't not want to pay 199.99 for the official hori AC7 stick. No force feedback is the only thing i wish it had or some rumble feature. I paid 56.99 when on sale. Worth every penny.

Definitely going to take the game to another level. The only way to play flight games. Only draw back is the build quality. I got a few months out of my first one before the flight stick started acting up but I replaced it with a new one and hopefully it will last.
