Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is absolutely awesome barring two major oversights by the manufacturer. #1 - There is no port on the controller for your headset. Pretty obvious short-sighted development flaw where they for some crazy reason bypassed a basic necessity. #2 - The cord which keep both parts connected (the thruster separates from the joystick) is way to short to mount on a gaming chair (or any chair for that matter). The only way to correct this is to splice the 16 interior cables and extend it yourself. Other than those two things the controller itself is immaculate. I use this for playing Elite Dangerous and the yaw makes a huge difference. Barring the two obvious flaws this thing would get 5-stars from me all day long! Frankly those two flaws had I known beforewould have prevented me from buying it in the first place.

I bought this in anticipation of the Ace Combat 7 release, but began using it on Elite Dangerous once I got it. At first everything was going going pretty good with it. The button layout is pretty good, and the grips sit in the hand very nicely. I was enjoying Elite Dangerous quite nicely with it, despite some quirks with it that I began noticing as I played with it. The first thing I took notice of is that the cable that runs between the two halves is a bit short, but I was able to make do with it. Then the stick began creaking only a couple days into using it. Okay, no biggie as long as it's accurate and works. I figured I could live with the little quirks and at least have an alright stick set for the XBOX, even if I did decide to upgrade for the PC in the future. Then it began putting out erratic yaw inputs whenever I gripped the flight stick. Erratic enough where I would suddenly find my ship pulling to the left HARD. Checking the input status in the Windows controller panel confirmed it. When I let go of the stick the twist status sits where it should, but once I grab a hold, it begins jerking all over the place, favoring the left. [In Seth Myers' voice] Really?! After less than a month of using it and it is already failing? Really?! Taking it back. Going to get a decent set and avoid Thrustmaster in the future. Disappointed.

Very good flightstick for the price especially if your just wanting a flightstick for the fun of it

4 out of 5 Not too bad at all for the price Gets the job done Warning: if you are rough with controllers in general buy a metal one not this one

Works great with MFS especially on the Xbox Series S

The throttle knob is way too loose. Not as bad as some say, but almost. The cord between the throttle section and the joystick section is too short. The two sections connect, but not securely. They keep coming apart. Otherwise, though I'm still getting used to it, it seems to work well. Most of all, it was available and I was able to get it at it's normal retail price, rather than the double or triple that controllers have been running for lately, if available at all.

Nice, solid, and functional controller for the money.

Fantastic joystick/ throttle for casual gaming. A++

Great fun my son loves it!! I would recommend this item

Great joystick for my Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

I like high degree of control it offers. Much better than the regular Xbox one console controller.

Great…..worked perfectly. My boyfriend loves it!!!

Like it, it does what it’s supposed to. Would buy again.

Great product. Well build and fun to use. Good quality.

I had to return it and get a refund because it wasn't working out for me on my computer but I still say it was a good stick just wasn't for me maybe for Xbox but not much good for PC

I bought one of these from best buy several years ago, and I can tell you with confidence to NOT buy this product. I had issues with stick drift (yaw) within a few months of purchase. Apparently there's no fix so their only solution is to replace it, until it breaks again ~3 months later, wash, rinse, repeat. Look online, do a Google search and you'll see that there's an inordinate amount of people with the same problem: stick drift. You would think that after so many warranty replacements they would redesign the product, but nope still the same shoddy design as the original. So, yeah, avoid Thrustmaster products at all costs. If they do so horribly with this product, no telling how problematic their other products are. Best to stick with turtle beach's option, or something, anything else but Thrustmaster.

This product is solid and well built. This flight control is allowed by the FAA to study for a pilots license using the approved programs. I bought it for a real flight simulator. Fully programable for any type of aircraft.

Very good starter if you're into DCS or flight simulation. Robust and maintains calibration.

very good nice handle to it hard to master tho would recommend.

Delivered faster than expected. Perfect condition even though it was an open box item.
