The Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition is the ultimate version of Thrustmaster‘s Airbus sidestick, an ergonomic 1:1 scale replica inspired by the flight controls of iconic Airbus airliners and officially licensed by Airbus and for Xbox Series X|S, with full PC compatibility. It is the console-ready counterpart to the PC-only TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition, and the stick at the heart of the TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition. Ambidextrous by design, it is made for console and PC pilots who want a realistic airliner sidestick for Microsoft Flight Simulator and other flight titles.
Compared with the original PC model, the Sidestick X has been redesigned for better stability and adopts new tact switch buttons for more comfort and increased precision. It offers 21 action buttons, with 4 swappable joystick head button modules and 14 remappable buttons, so you can tailor the controls to your aircraft and your habits. The enhanced throttle built into the base includes a thrust reverser function, a feature unique to airliners that helps you master your landings. Before each takeoff, the modular design lets you set the stick up for captain, co-pilot or central position for solo flight.
The new Ecosystem Hub is what makes the Sidestick X so versatile. Its redesigned base integrates 2 USB-A ports for your Thrustmaster Airbus ecosystem devices, a USB-C port for the power supply and a jack socket for your headset, so only one USB cable needs to be connected to the console or PC, with software support for the Thrustmaster ecosystem on Xbox Series X|S. A simple switch lets you swap from Xbox to PC compatibility in just a flip. On PC, the free T.A.R.G.E.T software lets you test, configure and program the controls and combine your Thrustmaster devices into a single profile.
