Description of 🎮 Thrustmaster T16000M FCS Windows-compatible
The T.16000M FCS is compatible with PC via USB in Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit). The T.16000M FCS offers you a precision level greater than current systems, which will not decrease over time, thanks to the joystick's H.E.A.R.T technology (U.S. patent US08471815). Fully ambidextrous joystick: 3 removable components allow the joystick to be perfectly tailored for left-handed or right-handed use. The joystick includes 16 action buttons with braille style physical button identification and one 8-way Point of View hat switch and 4 independent axes including twist rudder. The T.A.R.G.E.T software allows you to load and create specific mapping profiles for each game.
Pros
- Liked everything! Smooth running, accuracy, no noise on the axles! A bunch of buttons.
Cons
- As long as there are no shortcomings
Pros
- In the hand lies like a glove, the pirates are afraid. One feels some capital construction, even in comparison with the usual T2022000. Nothing creaks, does not hang out, there is grease from the factory, you can poke your finger, hehe. A good TARGET utility for fine-tuning the joystick with curves, profiles, automatically loaded configurations (I don't use it, there are enough settings in Elite Dangerous). Minijoy on ORE requires specifying a shallow dead zone, but in principle it is convenient. There is a connector for pedals on RUDE (there is FCS HOTAS with pedals in the kit, somewhere 3-5 thousand more expensive) for the future.
Cons
- There are not enough buttons on the joystick handle, one of the huts with ore could be stuck in 2022. I would like a button under the thumb like on Logitech 3D. The backlight is annoying. It would be better if it is always on or off. And it lights up when you pull the handle - why? Incomprehensible. Unnecessary buttons on the basis of RUS - remove your hand in battle with rud-rus - suicide, left them empty in the settings. And again - it would be better to put the buttons on the stick itself. The button under the little finger would be 10/10 as a modifier for all the others (and this is how the two buttons to the right of the knob on the ore handle this function).
Pros
- + The main sensors (on the axes of roll, pitch and thrust) have high accuracy + Lots of controls - 7 axes, push-button ministick, two 8-way hats, two 4-way hats, 2-way button, 18 regular buttons + In terms of ergonomics, the design, for my taste, is almost flawless - all the controls that can be reached without changing the position of the hands are achievable for my medium-sized limbs without problems (another thing is that there are few such elements, but more on that in shortcomings) + Fairly compact size (in terms of placement on the table) + Software that provides great opportunities for customizing the functionality (when this software works fine, see disadvantages)
Cons
- As buyers have written in previous reviews: - Few controls directly on the RUS. It seems to me that the front surface of the handle allows you to place 2 more huts on it, which I would gladly exchange for buttons on the base - they are practically useless in active combat. To the slider on the basis of the same claim - it would be possible to move it to RUS in the form of a wheel - Capricious software T. A.R. G.E. T. - especially for the installation process. As I understand it, during the installation process, a filter device is installed in the system, which requires the mandatory shutdown of all devices (in our case, RUD and RUS) for its correct installation. The installation program does not warn about this, which in my case resulted in the impossibility of normal hiding the throttles and RUS when starting the profile. Attempts to reinstall the software / drivers did not give positive results, which makes me assume the only way to solve the problem is to reinstall Windows - Very vulnerable twist design on RUS. Not only are the wires extending from the potentiometer laid in such a way that with each rotation of the handle the solder joint is stressed (at least in my copy), the weight of the hand is also transferred to the potentiometer due to the not very successful design of the holder. All this leads to the inevitable death of the twist, whether it be from abrasion of the potentiometer or from loss of contact in the wires. - No dust skirt above hinge RUS
Pros
- Best in Niche
Cons
- Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
Pros
- Easy to read control panel
Cons
- Weight
Pros
- Decent performance
Cons
- The list will be long.
