Review on Enhanced Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick for PS3 & Windows by Somchai Tameeyasen ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

For my 1200, for which I once bought it - a great buy. Suitable for those who have not directly whirred, but for whom it is not enough to sit with the keyboard. Well, or for those who want to use it as a donor for further refinement: let's say, I eventually acquired a long handle and became floor-standing. However, now for such a DIY it is easier to buy an arduino and upload one of the ready-made firmware for game controllers there.

Pros
  • Comfortable, heavy, lots of programmable buttons. The stiffness of the RUS is adjustable. The tenth Windows picks up on the fly and installs the driver itself. The base can be divided and put RSS and RUD separately. Very easy to modify. Amazingly durable construction.
Cons
  • Actually, the desirability of refinement: replacing encoders with Hall sensors. Fortunately, there are detailed guides on how to do this and anyone can do it. If not replaced, the joystick works, but not as well as it can with magnetic sensors. RUD has a step in the middle. It is also easy to eliminate, but nonetheless. Entirely plastic construction, albeit durable.
