Review on Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog PC Joystick Controller (Windows) by Iyhan Putra

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe I'll buy it again.

In general, I do not regret the purchase. Among branded joes, this one is definitely the leader in everything. Only small-scale devices from enthusiasts like VirPil or FBB can be better. If I had known about them earlier, I would have taken Warthog instead. Objectively, he only has a worse RUS base, but the rest is subjective and your opinion may differ from mine)

Pros
  • Impressive weight - does not crawl on the table even with active maneuvering. A rich set of buttons and huts, the toggle switches on the throttle are especially pleasing. Moreover, if you try, you can reprogram them so that the mouse and keyboard are not needed. Very convenient, for example, for VR gaming. T. A.R. G.E. T allows you to customize any combinations and macros. Probably, authenticity will be important to someone, everything here looks very natural and of high quality.
Cons
  • 1. The RSS handle is quite heavy and large, you need an appropriate foot. Otherwise, your palm and shoulder will hurt, as if you didn’t play, but masturbated all day. 2. After a couple of months of use, a slight play appeared in the RUS hinge. An autopsy showed that the hinge is plastic and rather primitive for such an expensive device. Craftsmen on the forums recommend replacing it with a 3D printed or metal copy, otherwise there is a risk of recycling the entire base.
