Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my 3rd one and it has the same problems as the first two ( I returned them both) I going to try to fix the problem my self. There are plenty of people on YouTube with the same problem. Contacted Thrustmaster but got nowhere with them.

The product is defective. Returned two times for replacement and same malfunction. Would not recommend this item

Well, I bought this a month early in anticipation of flight simulator coming on Xbox. Flight sim came out today. Unboxed this … it didn’t work. I’m sure it would be really cool if it did work.

Very hard to program and use i returned it using the x box controller seems just as easy

I Like it but machine gun trigger broke after 3 uses playing Ace Combat. Still good for MSFS

Thrustmaster Hotas One does NOT work with XBox X series and ACE Combat 7 together. Garbage, don't purchase it.

Poor quality. Feels like a toy. I wouldn't buy it.

No software updates wish I could get my money back

Will not stay on. It keeps going on and offline. Loading software is a pain as well.

Not responsive crashed a lot during flight simulator

great hotas very fun and works great out of the box i just wish it had clamps

Great Starter hotas, had everything I needed to get started in dcs, Good value for the money. I wanted to upgrade in a very short timeframe, but that probably has more to do with me than it does with the stick though. biggest problem with it is definatly the cord that connects the throttle and sick. it gets in the way more than you would think and makes it impossible to use in a sim cockpit.

I use this to fly spaceships in Star Citizen, and it is just perfect. Setting it up is super simple, literally just plug and play. The documentation in the box tells you how to get the software and driver package. All the buttons are new buttons to your computer, so you can freely bind each and every button on the joystick (aside from the XBox button) for each different game you play.

It was so quick and easy. Placed the order and it was ready within 30 minutes. Great customer service. Everyone was so helpful. This was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience.

Great joystick for the price. Works great with most Microsoft titles.

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

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.
