    Product Description

    Thrustmaster USB Flightstick - The only entry-level joystick with a point of view button!

    Amazon.com

    Sculpted to comfortably conform to the natural grip of the hand and featuring three action buttons, one trigger and a throttle, the Thrustmaster USB Joystick is an attractive and highly functional yet comparatively inexpensive control device for PC gaming. Whether you're flying a midnight bombing run over a global hot spot, blazing your way through the dark recesses of outer space or battling bumper to bumper at Indianapolis, the Thrustmaster USB Joystick has you covered, for less than half the price of an average computer game.

    Though priced on par with typical entry-level sticks, Thrustmaster's most affordable joystick features a surprising number of desirable amenities. Pilots in particular will enjoy the unit's thumb-triggered 8-way toggle switch "hat", ideal for accessing alternate viewpoints in and around an aircraft. Flyers and drivers alike will love the ergonomic molded grip, convenient palm rest, and multiple button/trigger configuration. The device does not offer tactile force feedback sensations or wireless operation, though it does sport a base-mounted throttle for precise analog control of aircraft speed.

    The Thrustmaster USB Joystick is compatible with all Windows-based games and all four of the most recent versions of the Windows operating system (Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP). Thrustmaster backs the unit with a two-year warranty.

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the video game controller. Some mention it's good quality, has solid construction, and reliable, while others say it'd be better for kids. The stick doesn't feel super sturdy and is made of poor material. Overall, the product is mediocre at best and lacks many of the features of other models.

    Customers are mixed about the controls of the video game controller. Some mention that the controls are responsive, with relatively little give. They say it has good button controls and a no fuss setup. However, some customers say that it only controls pitch and roll, with no way to control the rudder. This makes fine control a bit of a challenge. They also say that the controller has very limited buttons and no yaw.

    19 customers mention5 positive14 negative

    Customers are disappointed with the weight of the video game controller. They mention that it's a bit on the light weight side, and the joystick is lightweight on the base. They also say that it has a very cheap and light feel to it.

    "...disappointed to find that the stick doesn’t rotate and that it’s really light which means hard pulls or pushes may tip it off balance...." Read more

    "...A bit cheap on the construction (very lightweight, fragile feeling plastics) for the cost, but its basically a single use item for me." Read more

    "...which means it may come off the desk, however its small size and light weight make it easy to transport. It has three axes and four buttons...." Read more

    "...Nice features: HAT switch and throttle work well Cons: Lightweight base Started creaking after a day...." Read more

    13 customers mention3 positive10 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the video game controller. They mention that it wobbles all over the place, drifts hard to the right, and can occasionally slide a bit on the desk. That said, some say it's impossible to maintain a stable flight in many flight sims. That being said, they feel the controller is light and cheap, and it can occasionally slip a lot.

    "...Also, there is a lot of free (wobbly) movement from the centre before it actually starts to bite; quality is not so great." Read more

    "...It is almost impossible to maintain a stable flight in many flight sims and it is almost unplayable...." Read more

    "...(it always felt loose with a lot of slack)..." Read more

    "...the price -- it's a comfortable stick (righties only), with a sufficiently sticky base that it doesn't move around on me...." Read more

    Best bang for your buck handbrake EVER!

    Best bang for your buck handbrake EVER!
    I was looking for a joystick to replicate a handbrake for my simulation rig. As you can see in my picture, I am using a wheel stand pro with a Logitech g27 wheel. I was sick of using a button on the wheel as the handbrake so I started looking for alternatives. Luckily I came across this joystick because the price was unbeatable just to try it out. I'm happy to say it's working better than ever. I just used gorilla tape and taped it down onto an Amazon box that I put some weight in. Not the prettiest solution but you can hardly tell while playing.For the simulation racers that are looking for a cheap handbrake alternative, you got to try this out. Fanatecs handbrake costs 140 dollars and some others go in the 200 range. If you are just a weekend racer like me then this does perfectly fine for my needs.Drifting in Assetto Corsa and playing Dirt Rally has completely changed. Both games recognized the joystick as an analog input so the handbrake works just like a real handbrake instead of just an on/off button on the steering wheel. I am in love with this thing! I haven't seen a review that talked about using this as a handbrake so if you were skeptical like me, just buy it already!!
