Thrustmaster USB Joystick | Flight Game Controller | Joystick |PC

This is my first joystick. The only expectations that I had from my joystick was that I could provide continuous inputs instead of digital inputs (keyboard). The box has the joystick and the manual, and nothing else (Didn't expect any extras at the price point).FS2020 detected the joystick, but did not assign any controls to it. I did not do much digging to find out why, but instead mapped the controls manually.The pitch and roll axis are the joystick y and x axes respectively. I didn't need yaw, and there isn't another axis on this joystick (unless you replace the PoV buttons), so I ignored this. Mapped the throttle axis to the thumb throttle (this is possibly the single most important contributor to better speed control and landings), and landing gear toggle, flaps, parking brakes to other buttons apart from cockpit strafe left,right,up and down to the PoV buttons.I'm running this on default sensitivity, and right off the bat, my landings became butter smooth.In terms of ease of use and ergonomics, the joystick is brilliant and feels more expensive than it actually is. The shape and handrest are perfect for me. That might not be the case if you are left handed.The cable is sufficiently long.The one issue that I had with FS2020 is the lack of more buttons on the joystick for other common functions, and I had to occasionally switch back to my keyboard. Although, to be honest, FS2020 has way too many control mappings to be mapped on a joystick.I highly recommend this joystick if you are on a budget, and still want a well built and functional joystick.

Very good beginner joystick for flight simulation, especially for larger airliners, preferably airbus, like an A320, A330. I mainly use this for Flight Simulator 2020. I custom mapped my controls as I have some custom combinations (YES, WE CAN MAKE CUSTOM TRIGGERS USING COMBINATION OF BUTTONS)Truly plug n play! No driver installation whatsoever separately.Used this for over 15 long haul flights on an A320 and A330, with 2 short island hops in a Cessna Citation CJ4. There are 7 buttons that are custom mappable for special functions. (1 button has 4 diff controls itself) and there is the side stick and throttle. Both are quite good and usable.It will take time for you to get used to sensitivity but it's quite decent. Overall, a good starting HOTAS for beginners. I bought this at 1,893 INR. Great pricing, nothing is even close to this!Plastic but feels built to last! RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS and even those who want a cheap flight joystick!Connects via USB-AUsable forDCS World, X-Plane 11, MSFS 2020

1. Packaging was amazing. It was really fun to unbox this thing.2. The joysticks main axis itself is wonderful considering the price, there are litrally no dead zones and it responds all the way through.3. The throttle axis was a bit jagged at start but after calibrating it, worked well.4. The joystick only has 4 buttons and a hat switch. The immersion is ruined by a bit5. Anyone trying to make their flight simulator experience perfect for cheap, I would recommend building a throttle quadrant at home.6. It is plasticky and the buttons rattle a bit but it's wonderful considering what you pay.7. Its a plug and play joystick, so anyone using something like MSFS2020 will have to manually configure the joystick which is a big bum.Conclusion~If you're someone new to flight simming then this is the best one for you.If you're trying to get better and step up your flight sim experience, it'll be too cheap for your experience.

For the price it's goodMine broke after a monthI contacted them for warrantyIt didn't help they are asking me to contact thrustmaster and they are asking me to talk with seller

The product has a huge deadzone thats ruins the realism of the game. When i provide any input in the X or Y axis, the max input limit is only 75% to 50% of the actual physical limits of the hotas. It makes it so that if you turn the hotas by a small amount, the plane turns by a lot. I have tried every single calibration known to man and still failed to get the extra unused deadzone. Please do not buy this product, instead save up some money and buy a better one.

Waste for FS2020 might be good for DCS or other flight games, ofcourse managed to get all essential keys mapped for FS2020 using combinations but normal joystick gives more options..

This joystick worked beautiful, no problems at all. Used with MS 2004 to fly the Boeing and Airbus, initially it was jerky and then used it on a laptop with a faster processor and calibrated the joystick. After a few adjustments, it worked real good. The only reason for 4 stars is the placement of the throttle control which makes it difficult for left handed stick operation. The other issue is the number of buttons which are limited to program functions like landing gear, flaps etc. BUT moving your hands to do other things helps in improving your scan, kind of using purposeful distractions and keeping the airplane where it should be. Plan on buying another one.

A very good product - absutely worth the price. Bought this to play FSX and performing briliiantly. The axis and setups are very easy and configure with the plug-and-play option.The joystick has a nice tilt and rotation axis with a nice spring to keep it easy. Also compatible with other aerial games such as DCS and War Thunder. The buttons are easily accessible and provide a good grip. As an entry level joystick, provides full value for money and enjoyment.
