Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good entry level option for flyers. I only used it for Star Citizen and it performed greatly.

Two flaws made me return this item. First, the throttle is so loose that if you go more than 75% forward or 75% back, it will not hold its position. It just flops all the way to 100%. Looking at all the reviews, it seems as though this may be an issue with only some throttles, but if you get one you are out of luck. Second, the buttons are mapped such that the unit will not work with the menus in Microsoft Flight Simulator. You have to use the Xbox controller to make your menu choices, then use the Thrustmaster to fly the plane. Five stars to Best Buy customer service. I was able to return the item to the nearest store with no problems.

Smooth motion and sturdy base. On initial usage did not realize that a conflict with certain programs would exist if you had a XBOX controller connected to the PC. Had to disconnect the controller before the program identified the joystick.

I was worried that the deadzone would be huge based on reviews I saw, but on mine it's very minimal. Obviously not top of the line, but for the price I definitely think this is worth it.

I gave it 4 stars because it’s a good overall joystick but is lacking a trim wheel and some of the keys are named the same as function keys “f1” which was confusing at first.

Great gift for the kids as a Christmas gift. Thanks

it is easy to use, friendly and nice. I like it and will use it.

I was disappointed buy this flight stick and throttle. The throttle has absolutely no resistance to it. If the flight stick had haptic feedback it would make a huge difference. But honestly I thought having the stick would be more fun, but I get just as much enjoyment out of the controller for the series X or Xbox one. With the controller you can feel the windshears , or the plane shuttering from a nosedive or from a stall, among other things. The stick was not worth the purchase for me.

Pretty great enjoy the look and feel can't switch for left or right hand but that's ok.

Worth the purchase for console flight games. Great build quality and response time. No stock lag after 2 years of use.

It’s the only HOTAS available for Xbox so I have no choice but to use this but it has a huge dead spot & is incredibly difficult to use efficiently. Also, the throttle is super lose & has an annoying bump at 50% throttle that sucks. It’s so lose that it feels as if it will fall forward or backwards when left alone. It somehow doesn’t. LoL It’s like a fader on a super high end DJ mixer! Maybe they’re in the wrong business. LoL

Unfortunately someone stole my order, but bought stick to play Star Wars Squadrons. Waiting for item to comeback in stock but heard great things about this stick. Also heard that most Xbox One peripherals are backwards compatible for Xbox X, which is really awesome

I bought this unit to use with Microsoft Flight Simulator. It works great after you adjust some of the settings within the Simulator application that determines how it reacts to control inputs from the joystick. The joystick does exactly what it is advertised to do.

Bought this for my son, and he loves it while playing Ace Combat 7. It's very olastic, but at rhis price point that's expected. He's happy, so that makes me happy.

works great with Ace combat 7 which i bought it for!

When using this Hotas, the immersion is there, and this will get the job done. However its not as accurate as you might want it to be. Decent starting Hotas. Software is good, you can rebind and stuff. However, you'd have to run the driver to rebind the settings you made.

Using this for Flight Simulator 2020. Reasonably priced control stick. Some functions such as Trim inconsistent, but I don’t know if this is a function of the controller or the program. I wanted more than keyboard control, but I’m not concerned with realism

Overall this is a great flight stick. After using it for a couple weeks I don't have any major complaints or issues with it. Love the adjustable joystick resistance and the buttons all function well.

The set up was a little difficult, but for the most part didn’t cause too many problems, My son plays all the time and LOVES it!!!

Got it geeksquad refurbished and was in great condition. Does a great job on MFS but wish it had a little better fine tuning but may just need to mess with some settings within the game itself.
