Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS - Compatible with PC

These work really well, but T.A.R.G.E.T software isn't that great. JoyToKey or Joystick Gremlin are much better software options. Best feature is the stick tension is pretty firm, which I prefer. But these two see how much I like flight/space sim before deciding how deep into joysticks I want to go.

Packaging: Shipped in an Amazon box with the contents in a separate official ThrustMaster square box. It had a lot of padding and were wrapped pretty nicely to protect them. Product Impressions: I have been using this exclusively for Elite Dangerous for about a week now and absolutely love it. However, I did not like how the process was to set them up. There isn't much online on how to do it so for others, here is how I did it: -Plug in handsets to working USB ports -Install drivers (From ThrustMaster) -Reboot computer -Check to make sure drivers are working via "Game Controller" menu -Install TARGET software (From ThrustMaster) -Reboot computer as the software WILL NOT appear until reboot occurs. -Download ZIP folder (From ThrustMaster) for the basic set up of controls. NOTE that 80% are set up correctly. You will need to need to manually change some key binds. -Enjoy! (I think lol) Usability: Works on my Windows 11 Pro rig. Overall Thoughts: Great set up for playing various space/flying games! Have fun!!

I've had this stick and throttle for 2 and a half years and I have to say overall it's worth it if your looking for a HOTAS setup that has everything you need and is reasonably priced. I've looked and looked and there's virtually nothing in it's price range that anyone else offers for what you get. The stick feels great for flight and space simulation games. It does not have a tension adjustment but it's not needed imo. The 16000M stick has the perfect amount of tension whether your flying aircraft or spaceships which allows for precision movement. It has a hat, trigger, slider and lots of buttons which allows for many different configurations. The TWCS throttle is also fantastic, having 3 hat switches, 5 buttons, a slider and has an analog joystick and a two way lever in the front. Together, the joystick and throttle allow for endless configurations for key mapping allowing you to set up you aircraft/ship however you like. This setup is a great all around, mid range setup. It does have a few drawbacks, probably because it's plastic. The button presses and hat clicks feels a little too softer than I'd like which can sometimes make it a little hard to tell if you pressed it all the way. It takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, you can do just fine in any flight/space flight simulator. Considering the insane cost of high end metal Joystick/HOTAS's this is a somewhat minor issue for me. One other drawback is that the throttle movement is not the most precise out of the box. What I did to fix this is grease the rails that the throttle slides on with something called Nyogel 767A (you can find here on Amazon), this made throttle movement extremely precise. I've used this setup for FSX, P3D, MSFS, X-Plane 11 &12, Rise of Flight, IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles, DCS World as well as Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous and it works great for them all.

I absolutely love this. I bought it only for use with Elite Dangerous, and I gotta say that it was the perfect swap from keyboard and mouse. My only gripe is that the stick is extremely sensitive on all axes, which results in drift so I ended up needing to set a small dead zone within the game. Not a huge deal, just doing what it's advertised to do. Other than that, it's a great first stick and throttle.

I just surpassed a million air to air kills in two months playing War Thunder because of this controller-great product

My problem was with MSFS game of the year to accept the inputs correctly this could have been the controller of the year, believe that update 6 screwed up many pilots simulation for them. Thanks again Microsoft useless product

Got this to replace my older equipment. The joystick works great and I like it. The throttle not so much, the movement of the slider is a bit stiff and not that smooth, combined with its light weight and it tends to move all over the desk when you use it. If I had to do it again I would have gotten the airbus edition throttles.

I bought the Joy stick and the Throttle 3 months ago. The throttle never worked and the Joystick work great for 3 months. I play Star Citizen and now all my ship does is a barrel roll. The throttle might not be working because of the code/program seems to be faulty. So I contacted the company and put in a ticket. NO response of any kind for three weeks now. I would like to point out that no kids used the Joystick and I am not a everyday gamer. So it was never used roughly or miss handled and never dropped. I know I bought the cheapest Joy stick and throttle, with the best reviews but this is not acceptable to break so soon and to have ZERO response or help at all is one reason I strongly suggest not to buy anything from them. I also know that others have had a more positive experience with this company, but ask your self if you want to take the chance like I did and get shafted. I wish I could leave no stars I want my money back but neither Amazon nor the people that make the Thruster Joy stick and Throttle will help

Reason enough... buy it already! Using with MS Flight Sim 2020 - no issues at all. Most responsive joystick on the market in this price range, would not even consider the others as they all have considerable dead-zones before input is read. The orange plate lights up the moment you start to move the stick, indicating it is reading your input immediately. Keep in mind: -Although the joystick can be changed to left handed use, throttle unit cannot (it can be awkward to use with right hand) -Throttle unit hand grip is just textured hard plastic, not nice rubber like parts of the joystick -Joystick is friendly with small hands :) -Trigger is single level click, no multi-function depth -No option to lock the rudder, although have not found myself accidentally turning the joystick as there is just enough force required -Plug and play worked without any additional software for me (Using USB 2.0 ports, Window 10 version 2004 with MS Flight Simulator 2020)

I’ve seen many reviews say that it’s often faulty and some mechanics don’t work as advertised. But mine so far is really really good. I’ve used it for dcs and it’s tracking and smoothness is exceptional. Would definitely recommend. The only con you might get is if it’s broken upon deliver but you can always get a replacement or refund according to Amazon. I’ve still only used it for a couple of hours but I’m impressed

Le he usado muy poco y aunque leí muchas reseñas de que salían defectuosos, a mí me ha funcionado excelente.

A ver había comprado hace un par de semanas un Thrustmaster T.Fligth hotas one de la misma marca. La pega es que era demasiado básico y noté que no tenía tantas posibilidades de personalización y sé me quedaba un poco corto. Lo he cambiado por este Thrustmaster T16000 FCS Hotas. Y el cambio a sido a mejor. Eso sí es casi el doble de caro del primero. Pero tengo mas botones para personalizar y poder hacer un uso un poco mas preciso y avanzado. Está fabricado en plástico pero se ve de muy buena calidad. Este pesa mas que el anterior y tiene iluminacion led naranja cuando se pulsa. Lo voy a probar los primeros 30 días de prueba y si me convence me lo quedaré. Si veo que quiero algo mejor buscaría otro hotas pero ya de precio superior. De todas formas este Hotas se siente bien y de momento no tengo ninguna pega que ponerle. Os dejo fotos de como queda en mi escritorio. La calidad se ve superior a la del Hotas T.Fligth one. Se siente mejor y es mas preciso. La pega es que es mas caro. En mi opinión le doy 5 estrellas. Perfecto para iniciarse en el mundo de la simulación de vuelo.

I tested all the functionalities of this beautiful HOTAS setup the moment it was delivered today, and I can't be any happier with what I've got now. Crisp control buttons, accurate designator axes, smooth as butter Throttle action. People who complain about the throttle smoothness need to know how to operate. PUSH from below, PULL from above, and you'll have impeccable accuracy. Use the slightest touch for push/pull. It works like a charm. Very happy with the build quality of the product. Thrustmaster has done a lot of research work to get this out for the masses. Brilliant addition for those who are into Combat flight simulations, or even general for that matter! A product listed at $170 on the manufacturer's website, getting it below 7k price range in India, best discount deal ever! Go get it! 😃🤟
