Review on Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog PC Joystick Controller (Windows) by Kenta Omura ᠌

Exploited more than 2 years, actively, but carefully. No extension cords on the handle and violence. 1- What immediately came to light was the deviation from zero on the RUS in a calm position by 512 and 480 readings in pitch and rotation, respectively. No calibrations helped. With a total number of reports of more than 52,000, this is of course minuscule and did not interfere too much, but left a sediment, so to speak. 2- Almost immediately (a week later) a backlash appeared, the so-called twist. Didn't interfere much, so I scored. Although, with the improvement of general piloting skills, the backlash began to interfere, affecting motor skills. 3 - After a little over two years, the inner hinge with the sensor and magnet burst. Epoxy repair didn't work. Plastic just burst in another place (and almost immediately). The next largest hinge has also collapsed, so that it can no longer be assembled even with the help of epoxy. Upon disassembly, it turned out that the fastening ring of the joy's rotation mechanism burst and cracked, the plastic swelled and deformed in places. The ring itself performs its function so far, but I think it won't be for long.
