Review on Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog PC Joystick Controller (Windows) by Goro Takenouchi ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Experience with joysticks since 2022 and this is the best one I have tried over the years. The review for you was 159BAG_Civis. Pros below: Great quality joystick. Immediately, when you pick up the box, you feel solidity in terms of weight of 11-12 kilograms. RUS has a huge metal base compared to other models with the ability to additionally fix it with screws to a table or other base. The handle itself unscrews from the base. The pen sits perfectly in the hand. Someone says that the pen is for a big hand, but it's not. It is quite convenient to get to all the buttons and huts. Throttle is equipped with a wide variety of switches, a handle resistance control and 1st additional axle. By itself, the joystick is more likely for gamers flying in civil aircraft sims, for them this is an ideal option. For those who fly in the IL-2 series or similar flight sims, this is also a very good choice. Since the accuracy of pointing the pen and its stroke is ideal, I have not seen it smoother. There are also disadvantages. With its cons. By cons, I will attribute the noise of the only free axle on the ore. In the zero position, it "trembles", which makes it impossible to put flaps or approach on it, since it will no longer be possible to use the buttons for these axes at the same time. The second and even bigger minus is the lack of axes on the ORE handle itself. On my Saitek x65, I had 2 axes with settings for elevator trimmers and flaps (for use on aircraft that do not have stationary takeoff and landing positions). Now they are not on the Warthog's ORE and this is not very convenient. But since this is Replisa, it justifies everything.
