ThrustMaster T-Flight Hotas One (compatible with XBOX and PC)

This is amazing. I have always wanted a flight stick but could never afford one. Luckily for Christmas I got 75$ worth of Amazon credit. Although I do have one complaint. After I initially ordered it, I happened to be checking the item page reading through the description again 4 hours later and noticed it was on sale for 30$ less. That’s kind of crappy. Why would it randomly go on sale right after I order it for full price? Anyway I was able to cancel it and reorder it at the discounted price.On to the actual product. It works great, does everything it is supposed to do. The stick is very comfortable and the thrust handle feels pretty good too. My one and only gripe with the actual product is the thrust stick. It is way too loose. It only really stays in place when it is centered and the slightest touch will drop it full forward or backward. I honestly believe that they could have made a better assembly that stiffens the base of the stick. I noticed in many other reviews that their thrust stick doesn’t even stay in place at all, it just drops to one side or the other. Luckily mine isn’t that bad, it will still stay where I set it but only just barely.I had really wanted the PS4/5 version as no one here owns an Xboxone or otherwise only Ps5s. But no other T.flight HOTAS were affordable or even on sale. The one I wanted was over 120$ but if it were in sale like this one was for 30$ off of 90$ I would’ve been able to get it since 90$ is what I was originally going to pay for this one. Sucks and a real shame. Not entirely sure why this one was the only one that went on sale, and why it went on sale immediately after I initially ordered it 😅

The Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS makes flying on my xbox-x a real pleasure using MS Flight Simulator 2020. The price is good compared to others and works on both Xbox and a pc.You can separate the throttle from the stick of have them screwed together. The screws are built in and it also has an Allen wrench that sticks to the bottom of it.I keep mine together and it sits on my lap while flying. It makes flying way easier then using the Xbox controller.Cool product.

These are a quality flight stick setup! Accurate and with very little dead zone or "wobble" around center. I am enjoying playing Ace Combat 7 with them very much! They are huge upgrade compared to the "HORI Ace Combat 7 Hotas Flight Stick for Xbox One" - which I had pre-ordered first, at more than double the cost of this! Those are unbelievably bad - go read my review on them for a comparison.Pros: I love the twist stick rudder on these, very useful. Also very happy with the detent at 50% throttle. The buttons are quality though a little "clicky" like microswitches. The bases are heavy and the rubber feet are nice and sticky - I play with these on an oversized lap pad for 17" laptops and they work great on that. As someone who plays in a pitch black home theatre, I really appreciate how dim the little white power/connection light is!Neutral: The ability to attach them together is... a neat idea, though probably much better suited for children. I have them about 6" apart when I play. There is a joystick tension knob on the bottom, but I find that I want it all the way to max which is how it is out of the box. In fact I wish you could add a little MORE tension if anything. I also wish the throttle had such a tension knob. Also what is up with the weird "wings" at the bottom of each base that extend toward you? They limit how close you can move them to yourself. Why not just make the base a little wider? Looks like this was done for looks.Cons: There is no headset connector, which is a real bummer. Have to use Kinect voice chat, or have another controller turned on so you can plug a headset into that, and I'm not even sure how that's gonna work with multiplayer yet. Not sure how that got overlooked. Also, there is vibration/rumble on these, or force feedback. I would have gladly paid more for that. Overall the feel on these is bit... cheap. Lots of plastic, no rubberized finish or rubber pads for comfort. Very little visible metal. All buttons are plastic. The movement of the joystick has a bit of "clunk" near the top of full travel that you can hear/feel. All in all, these feel a bit cheap and not like the Thrustmaster of old that I'm used too from the PC days. They feel like they should be maybe $20 less, which appears to be how much the PC version is! As usual it appears we're paying the "console tax" with a more expensive product just for licensing probably.However, considering I was willing to shell out $200 for the Hori sticks (Which ended up being garbage) - I would gladly have spent 2x this much, on an "Elite" version like I did for the Xbox One Elite controller which is far better too. I would love to see a version of this with metal trigger, metal bases, rubber pads and rubber grips for comfort, better joystick motion/smoothness, better quality buttons, higher quality materials all around.All in all though, considering how long we waited for a real HOTAS setup on Xbox One, I'm happy enough with these, especially for less than half the cost of the garbage HORI ones.

This Joystick is amazing and very smooth, at least in Flight Simulator 2024 and Ace Combat 7 on Xbox Series X. It'll make you feel like you actually have great control of the aircraft, assuming you treat the controller well, because it's not the type of controller you want to throw across the room when you crash. Not the best controller for Call of Duty though, so you may want to look for another option if that's the game you want this for.

Wow! Using the Hotass with Star Wars Squadrons is amazing. This joystick is a must get if you want to feel like you're in the actual cockpit of an X-Wing or Emperial Fighter.It takes a bit of time to get use to the controls. In one hour I started getting comfortable with the controls. I inverted the vertical axis and mapped the proper throttle button to the lever because straight out of the box Squadrons did not recognize the throttle stick.It's easy to map the action to the joystick. It's done in the settings menu. Just assign the action to the controller by highlighting the action and pressing the button you want assign the action too. Other than that the other buttons are mapped properly.Subtle movements on the joystick is the name of the game here. You can easily disorient yourself with brash movements on the stick.Some people say it's cheaply made but I disagree. The Joystick is the same quality of a regular controller. Same type of plastic and same type of buttons. For $79.99 and for the experience you get it's a must get.I have it connected to my PC and will soon be using it with my Oculus Quest 2.

Love this thing.
