Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X Joystick (PC)

The Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X is a precise, stable and complete joystick for budding pilots who want to sharpen their virtual flight skills on PC. It is an all-in-one stick: the throttle is built into the base, so a single device on your desk gives you everything needed to fly, without a separate throttle unit. If you want a detachable throttle for a two-handed setup, the T.Flight Hotas X is the step up. Plug and play, it works directly in game with all flight simulation titles for PC, including DCS, X-Plane, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and War Thunder, and Thrustmaster also lists it for PS3.

A unique ergonomic design lets the Stick X adapt to any type of game, whether you are dogfighting, flying civil or commercial routes or exploring space. The handle has an enlarged rest for comfort, and the weighted base keeps the joystick stable through long sessions. You get 12 action buttons and 4 axes, all extensively programmable, so you can arrange the controls to suit each aircraft. A point of view button gives you quick, easy camera control, and the versatile trigger works as a brake in civil flight or with a rapid-fire option for military and space flights.

Rudder control comes from the twist rudder: rotate the handle for fast, intuitive and efficient yaw control in any type of game, or lock the rotation in place for more realistic flights. The integrated throttle sits within the weighted base, which ensures optimal, ergonomic positioning and gives a realistic throttle response. With its compact all-in-one design and USB connection, the T.Flight Stick X is a straightforward way to move on from a mouse and keyboard to a real flight stick.
