Guillemot Thrustmaster T.16000M Fcs USB Joystick (Pc)

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!!

Been playing with this for about a month and I have to say....for this being my first HOTAS at the price this is a very good HOTAS. It fits comfortably in my hands, the throttle feels a little big for my hands but still slides smooth, the stick moves around smoothly, and the pedals feel smooth as well. The pedals feel a bit close together as well but nothing that feels uncomfortable. You would have to spend about twice or more the money to get a higher quality stick setup but as an entry level setup I am very happy with this

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 would rather have the heel slide wedge not be installed. I felt it was unnecessary and removed them. Most pilots will agree that the aircraft do not have these and should not be on there.Otherwise, they are terrific. My only issue is not with the pedals, it is with my gaming chair. It's on wheels and when you use the rudder pedals, sometimes the chair slides away.You may want to consider getting the "SlipstickGripper", which are caster locking pads to keep your chair from rolling back. I did and they work great.

Good product to play with Flight Simulator

Excelente dispositivo. Debería decir que es el top de gama de entrada. Excelente precio para su gran calidad.

The Joystick has been working for the past 5 months. The throttle is just not holding up... sensor in the throttle is going out and there are dead spots. Playing DCS, this doesn't work for what I want in quality. Go ahead and spend the money on a better one.
