    This is a solid HOTAS flight stick for the price. Compared to other models, that are much more expensive, this stick holds up pretty well. I bought this for Ace Combat 7, and it really ups the immersion for the game.

    Great Intro to Flight Games. Easy to setup and works with PC's. Requires some Calibrations to work perfectly. But good Value compared to the Mid/High Range Flight Sticks/ Perfect for Microsoft Flight Simulator

    So far so good with this entry level Flight Stick. The quality seems decent enough for the price and it pulls double duty on my PC & PS4. I bought it to play Elite Dangerous on PC and the immersion change from using the DS4 to the flight stick is not even close! Once you’ve gotten accustomed to the location of the buttons you become one with the ship. However, I’ve read that the yaw starts to drift with use but so far it hasn’t happened to me, just keep in mind that I don’t play as much as I’d like and the stick receives moderate to low usage. Read other reviews out there! If you’re looking for a entry level HOTAS Flight Stick that can be used on PS4 & PC this is your best (and only, I believe) option. o7 CMDRs!!!

    I bought it for ac7, it turns out works perfectly fun in vr mode. Although there only 3 missions for vr. For those who expect improve the performance of multiplayer experience. The answer is no from my experience, but I still like to use in multiplayer mode. Feeling of all bottom are cheap, the change weapon button easily got pressed mistakenly. Won't expect too much for a 50 doller controller, while all others production are around 3 digits. Speed controller does stop in neutral position, but with no resistance for acceleration and deceleration. Mapping is different in Manu but won't hurt you after get used to it. My machine gun aiming does get better.

    I bought this flight stick for Microsoft Flight Simulator on PC and it has not disappointed. The build quality is good for $80. It easily connects to the PC via USB, just make sure you install the required driver. I also tried it briefly with my PS4 Pro with Ace Combat 7. It worked fine, but I just do not like that game. The only complaint I have is that I wish the cable between the flight stick and throttle was a bit longer so I could mount it on my cockpit using the including screw holes. That is a small complaint, particularly at this price point. Buy with confidence!

    I like the build quality (feels sturdy and a solid base), the tension of the joystick can be adjusted, and it can be used together or separate from each other (throttle and joystick). The only thing I wish I could change is how loose the throttle is. You can tell when it is halfway, but it is just flimsy in-between the minimum, maximum, and halfway points. It is still good and some velcro strips should fix it.

    I bought this on sale specifically for use with Ace Combat 7 and Star Wars: Squadrons on my PS4 Pro and PSVR. It's contoured nicely for the hands and is very comfortable. The controls feel very responsive during flight and combat. For the price, you can't beat it. I think it's a must have for budget flight sim enthusiasts.

    Bought this to place Ace Combat and the upcoming Star Wars Squadron game. Its crazy that the price has really dropped for the item, but its probably the best flight stick for PS4

    I got it only to play AC7, and it's pretty good. The joystick is slightly big for my hand, but it's easy to use. However the thrust has almost no feedback, it's just too easy to handle and you have to pay attention to the speed all the time. The buttons are OK, easy to push by mistake in the heat of the battle, in times it's frustrating. The cable between the joystick and thrust is too short, but manageable, you just need to adjust your style. Overall you get what you paid for so I can't complain.

    as my first HOTAS joystick, it works awesomely on the PC and the PS4 (hopefully ps5 too), and i have no complaints except for when i was playing Elite Dangerous where the twist gets "stuck" in a weird way where it wasn't to yaw to the right. sometimes its possible to unstick it, but a deadzone might have to be set to auto correct it. Also, while its a great set of sticks, within a year it'll show those signs yaw issue and will audiably do that plastic creeking sound like its going to break. Use this joystick to learn how to fly with a HOTAS, on the way to a better set of sticks.

    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.

    Awesome flight stick

    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.

    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.

    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.
