The Thrustmaster USB Joystick is the simplest way to start your flying journey on PC. It is an entry-level stick in Thrustmaster‘s flight range, aimed at first-time and casual pilots who want to move on from a mouse and keyboard to a real joystick without any complicated setup. Plug it into a USB port and it works directly in game, with no driver or installation disc needed, and you can even connect it while your computer is running. It is compatible with popular PC flight titles such as DCS, X-Plane, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and War Thunder.
Despite its compact format, the USB Joystick covers the essentials of flight control in a single all-in-one device. It offers 3 axes, 4 action buttons and a trigger, so the most important commands of your aircraft are always within reach of your fingers. A point of view button gives you easy camera control, letting you look around the cockpit and the scenery for better immersion in your games. Speed is handled by a sliding thumb throttle on the stick itself, so you can manage acceleration without reaching for the keyboard or a separate throttle unit.
Comfort and stability were key to its design. The ergonomic handle features an enlarged rest that supports your hand for optimal gaming comfort, and the weighted base keeps the joystick firmly planted on your desk during your flights. At 626 g and 165 x 161 x 253 mm, it takes up little space on your desk. For pilots ready to grow their setup later, Thrustmaster‘s compatibility checker pairs it with the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition, the TWCS Throttle and the T.Flight Rudder Pedals, all sold separately, but the USB Joystick on its own already gives you everything needed for your first flights.
