Joystick Love is for PC

What can I say. This child is everything I could wish for and more. Love is a joystick. quality construction. Works fine with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It will cost me a lot more in the long run as I add more parts, but what are they, hey, that's the price I'm willing to pay. Just wanted to add that the first one sent seems to have been lost in transit. and when i contacted the company they immediately sent me a replacement with no questions asked and no extra cost. And it's not a cheap…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Hall sensors on 2 axis mean more accuracy and durability

For the money this is a great controller for commercial Airbus aircraft in MSFS (2020) and other supported flight sims. The throttle slide is NOT controlled by a hall sensor (it's a regular potentiometer). Since the slider has a short stroke range, it is NOT suitable for Airbus Throttle. You'd be better off buying the accompanying Airbus TCA Throttle Quadrant (also from Thrustmaster) which calibrates much better in MSFS (I fly a FlyByWire A320 and use both joystick and throttle quadrant). Both…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Exchange available

Neat but not great

Correct: Yes, this makes flying Airbus really fun. As many have said, the build quality leaves a lot to be desired. If it was less than a hundred dollars, I'd be all for it. But this one has a premium price - and it's mostly below average. My biggest complaint is with the 12 buttons at the base of the side handle. To be honest they are just awful. They are soft, sticky, unreliable and generally very uncomfortable to squeeze. Compared to all other joysticks I've used, this one is by far the…

Pros
  • Complete kit
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Accessory great feature

I bought this joystick thinking I could use it with a Thrusmaster TWCS Hootas throttle instead of a t16000m joystick with Target software because I want a locking Z-axis need a joystick. Thrustmaster is so proprietary that you can't even use other Thrustmaster Target-enabled game controllers together unless they belong to a specific set. You must be using the Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition to use the target software with an Airbus joystick. Thrustmaster claims that all of their…

  • I'm looking forward to

Works perfectly. To buy at a lower price, check the price often.

I received MSFS in August 2020 and have been using the keyboard to fly, but trying to fly the plane with just a few keyboard controls can be really frustrating! Now that I have it I really like it and it has really changed my flight and landing performance. I really like it! This joystick has been sold at grossly inflated prices for months, sometimes even double the retail price. If you are interested in buying this but refuse to pay the exorbitant price, I recommend checking the Revain price…

  • Special Offer

Very strong, very well made.

Received my sidestick yesterday on 10/06/20 and have already flown with it in MSFS2020 and the new game Star Wars Rouge Squadrons and I can say that this is one of the best "joysticks" that I have ever had -or were. Bought. It doesn't feel cheap and in the MSFS202 it was very accurate in every way. The only negative thing I can say about the stick is the weird button layout. At the base the numbering is left to right top to bottom so left is 5,6,7 then under those you flipped 10,9,8 then top…

Pros
  • Good construction
Cons
  • For old

Overpriced junk

PLEASE DO NOT BUY Now I've had this stick for approx. I upgraded from Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. At full functionality, the joystick is a bit below average, although it's fine considering it's a copy of a real Airbus side joystick, but the buttons on the base are really bulky and not ergonomic, and sometimes it is hard to tell which one you are without pressing is not so much and great in my opinion, especially when playing in virtual reality. However, the throttle is very functional, the buttons
