Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this flight stick as a birthday gift for my husband, and he absolutely loves it! The setup was smooth, and the build quality feels solid and responsive. He’s been using it for flight simulators and says it adds a whole new level of realism and control. It’s safe to say this gift was a hit!

Bought this primarily for MS Flight Sim 2020 and Star Wars Squadrons in VR. It's a great entry-level HOTAS stick. The stick and spring work well and has a great feel to them. They sit firmly on the desk and does not move around. It's easy to configure and get up and running on the PC. One drawback is the loose feel on the throttle. I wish there was a way to stiffen up its glide up and down the channel. The looseness makes using the back buttons difficult because pressing them can affect the throttle position. The other drawback is the relatively short cable connecting the throttle and stick. If you want to operate in a split configuration, you can barely fit a full-size keyboard between the 2.

I've got a very complex racing wheel and pedal set for my Oculus system, but when I picked up Star Wars Squadrons for my Xbox, I wouldn't even play it since controlling with the Xbox controller was awful. And of course thanks to Microsoft's Flight Sim, HOTAS units were impossible to find forever. I was randomly checking a few places every week or so and was fortunate enough to catch one in stock here at Best Buy, so I snagged it right away. The length of the cord isn't that great, but fortunately I had a USB extension cable from my first Oculus headset, allowing me to get a decent distance from my TV. Fired up the game, and this made ALL the difference. It went from annoying to enjoyable instantly. Not sure how many people would play with the thrust and flight control sticks connected, but that would work. However there's enough cord to separate them and get them comfortably distanced from each other. For me, the bonus is that this is natively recognized by the game so I can SEE what buttons will do what, I didn't have to remap controls or anything. I wish there was a bit more resistance on the throttle stick, but for this price, I'm pleased that it's responsive and works. Buttons are for the most part placed well, just some muscle memory now to train as I start to use it. All in all, for this price, it's light years beyond using the controllers that come with a game system. Definitely NOT worth the scalp prices you find them online, but if you wait like I did and snag it at retail price it's worth it.

I've been gaming for decades, but only recently tried some flight sims. I may or may not continue on that route, but if I don't, I can certainly rest easier knowing that I didn't waste a bunch of money on some super fancy HOTAS. For now, this product is doing everything I need it to and the price is perfect. Very happy with this purchase.

I ordered one of these T-Flight Hotas One units in Open Box - Excellent condition from Best Bey for just under $40. I've been eyeing one of these starter-level HOTAS units for a while, and I specifically wanted the T-Flight HOTAS One so that I could use it with my Xbox Series X and PC. I could never really justify the $100 price tag for a brand new unit so I had been scanning FB marketplace for several months, and then I realized that Best Buy sells open box units for less than half of the retail price, which is cheaper than any I had seen used on FB marketplace, so I took a shot figuring even if the condition was poorer than advertised, it would still be functional. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived, although honestly it was kind of dirty, and has one noticeable scuff mark on the base. The allen key needed to attach the stick and throttle units together was still in its slot on the bottom of the HOTAS, and overall it really did look like a brand new unit (minus the scuff). I'm happy to report that it also plays like a brand new unit. I've been using mine for close to a month now and haven't noticed any of the major issues that are typically described with the T-Flight HOTAS One. It has made Elite: Dangerous and Microsoft Flight Simulator a lot more enjoyable for me, maybe one day I'll consider getting a more expensive HOTAS with more accurate tracking, but in my experience this unit is plenty sensitive and accurate and for $40 I literally could not have asked for a better price. Thanks, Best Buy!

Great joystick for the price. I was concerned about when I'd receive it since I saw this joystick was 'out of stock' nearly everywhere. I came to find it's because the new Microsoft Flight Sim recently released and these were the best 'budget' sticks available. I wish there were more keys available to map to; I purchased this for Star Wars Squadrons and would prefer to customize the controls further than what's available. However, I was able to plug-n-play with this one right out of the box and there are certainly enough buttons to get the job done (the game WAS made to be playable with a regular xBox controller...) This joystick will likely result in the purchase of more flight sims for the xBox and PC... Of note: I saw this joystick listed for twice the price on Amazon (from 3rd party sellers) that seemed to capitalize on the scarcity... I ordered from Best Buy with a standard shipping option and though they quoted 28 Dec for arrival, it was delivered Christmas Eve! Don't overpay!

Played battlefield and set up really easy with just a simple plug in and setting up controls straight outta box on pc i would highly recommend if you’re just looking for something casual, plus it doesn’t take up much room

The Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas One is an excellent entry-level flight stick and throttle combo for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. It offers a comfortable grip, smooth and accurate controls, and plenty of buttons for immersive flight simulation at an affordable price point (around $90–$110). The detachable throttle and stick can be used together or separately, making it versatile for different setups. It’s plug-and-play for Microsoft Flight Simulator and works well with other titles like Ace Combat and Star Wars Squadrons. However, the build uses lightweight plastic, the throttle lacks strong resistance, and the unit can slip around without a mounting solution. Some buttons feel hollow, and cable length could be better. Despite these minor drawbacks, its value, ease of use, and compatibility make it the best budget HOTAS option for beginners looking to elevate their flight sim experience without breaking the bank.

Purchased this primarily for MS Flight Sim. It’s made flying and landing 1000x better than using the keyboard. The model was recognized in the game settings so setup was a breeze. Plenty of buttons to configure too. It’s plastic not cheap feeling and the price is right.

I bought this as an open box item. I see zero defects with it and it works flawlessly. Vey nice, just wish the cable between the throttle and stick was longer. If you have a smaller keyboard it will sit between the throttle and stick fine. But a full size keyboard is a little tight. Overall though, great hotas for a resonable price.

My only gripe is i wish the cord was a little longer? Otherwise im very happy with my purchase and it works and feels great!

For a beginner HOTAS setup this is perfect. Especially if you bounce between MS Flight Sim on console and something like DCS on PC. The ability to still have rudder control by twisting the grip is a nice added touch especially for rotary wing platform use! Definitely worth the money and will satisfy your needs as an entry-level/hobbiest gamer!

I am not an expert. I thought about buying a more expensive flight stick, but I figured this would be a better introduction. This flight stick is more than enough to get started and then some. I am still no where near able to fly proficiently. I am glad I did not spend hundreds more on higher end gear. Yes, it's plastic, but that's expected for the price. It is 100% better than not having a flight stick.

I am new to flight sticks so take that with a grain o salt. However, for my first flight stick, this is a great toy to have! The weight and handling feel really good and the price is actually great for what you get! Ive mainly been playing Star Wars Squadrons on Xbox Game Pass, and if you are looking to have a genuine Star Wars dog fight experience i dont think you could possibly do better than this stick at the price point. Must buy for flying fans on a budget! You wont regret it!

I very much enjoyed this product, it was a little challenging at first to maneuver the console, but overall after some practice, I’d recommend this product to others who play a lot of flying games. And it’s easy to maneuver whether you’re sitting at a table or on the bed. I’m glad I gave this product a chance.

Solid product would not recommend for star citizen but works well with flight sims.

Awesome beginner flight stick. Used with flight simulator and works flawlessly.

I purchased the Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas One Joystick so that I could play Microsoft Flight Simulator on the Xbox. It is an OK flight stick and has some issues with the throttle not wanting to stay in position if you are not at 50% power for it. I want to eventually get the foot pedals with it because the twist for the rudder is very finicky when trying to turn. In future versions of the flight stick I would recommend either a Bluetooth connection or a longer cord because you cannot use it unless you are very close to the Xbox.

Works right out the box with either xbox or pc. Wish it was naturally work for both right hand and for left hand configurations without having to invert orientation.
