Compatible with Windows PCs and enhanced by T.A.R.G.E.T software, it supports custom profiles and dual-joystick setups, making it the ultimate tool for immersive flight and space simulation enthusiasts. ## Description For almost thirty years now, Thrustmaster has been developing state-of-the-art video game accessories to satisfy and entertain every type of gamer. With all of its know-how and technological expertise, Thrustmaster creates products including racing wheels, flight simulation gear, headsets and gamepads specially designed for highly-precise gaming experiences, ensuring total immersion and enhanced realism across a wide variety of platforms. Thrustmaster has devoted its 25 years of expertise in flight sim controllers to meet the growing demand from flight simmers in general – and space simmers in particular. The T.16000M FCS has been designed for advanced fliers looking for comprehensive, realistic controls as an alternative to using a mouse and keyboard. The T.16000M FCS (Flight Control System) flight stick is compatible with PC via USB in Windows 10, 8 and 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). The T.16000M FCS features 4 independent axes, including twist rudder (controlled by rotating the stick), 16 action buttons with “braille”-style physical button identification, one 8-way Point of View (PoV) hat switch and an ergonomic trigger. Its striking orange accents and backlighting bring gamers’ immersion to a whole new level. In order to deliver exclusive high-precision performance, pitch and roll on the T.16000M FCS flight stick employ H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology (U.S. patent US08471815) for 16-bit resolution (i.e. 16000 x 16000 values) – the same pinpoint accuracy delivered by the extremely high-end HOTAS Warthog joystick, allowing gamers to engage their enemies with surgical precision. The helical spring (0.1” / 2.8 mm in diameter) inside the stick provides firm, linear and smooth tension. The joystick’s unique ambidextrous design can be easily switched between right-handed and left-handed use. Its twisting handle controls the rudder by default, but can also be locked in place. Piloting with a joystick in each hand is now possible in all games compatible with two joysticks. These products are part of a range of flight simulation peripherals that can be used in conjunction with one another: a complete ecosystem featuring the FCS flight stick, TWCS throttle, TFRP rudder pedals* and MFD* (Multi-Functional Display) cockpit panels. These elements are also compatible with the T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software. Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor software: combine with other Thrustmaster devices (so that they are recognized as a single USB device), and load or create specific mapping profiles for each game. Tailor your own profiles to enhance most Thrustmaster flight controllers, and share them with the Thrustmaster community. Thanks to its design and ergonomics, the T.16000M FSC provides players with multiple recognizable features, allowing them to become more effective and accurate when in flight. This enhanced access to flight controls proves even more essential when players are fully immersed in the exceptional flight experience delivered by VR-compatible games. ## Features - 🎛️ 16 Action Buttons & Total Control: Features 16 physical buttons (12 on the base, 4 on the stick), an ergonomic throttle slider, and an 8-way Point of View (PoV) hat switch for perfect situational awareness and cockpit visibility. - 🔄 Ambidextrous Design: With three removable components, the joystick easily converts for right- or left-handed use. It is also ideal for a dual-joystick setup (HOSAS) in advanced space simulations. - 🛠️ T.A.R.G.E.T Software for Pro Profiles: Use the Thrustmaster Advanced Programming Graphical Editor to create custom mappings, configure macros, and combine the flight stick with other Thrustmaster devices as a single USB device. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B01H6KXGEI | | Best Sellers Rank | 884 in PC & Video Games (See Top 100 in PC & Video Games) 29 in PC Game Controllers | | Brand Name | Thrustmaster | | Button Quantity | 24 | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Controller Type | Joystick | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,490) 4.5 out of 5 stars | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03362932914778 | | Hardware Platform | Desktop, PC | | Included Components | 1 x Additional index rests, 1 x Additional thumb rests, 1 x T.16000M FCS joysticks, 1 x User manual and warranty information | | Item Dimensions | 20.8 x 19.8 x 24 centimetres | | Item Weight | 1138 Grams | | Manufacturer | Thrustmaster | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2960773 | | Model Name | T-16000M FCS | | Model Number | 2960773 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | carry in | | Special Features | Ambidextrous, Ergonomic, HEART effect | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Thrustmaster - **Compatible devices:** PC - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Controller type:** Joystick - **Model name:** T-16000M FCS ## Images ![T16000M FCS - Precision Combat Flight sim Joystick - PC | 16 programable buttons, 8-way hat switch, 4 axes, twist rudder, integrated throttle, Hall effect sensors, ambidextrous - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GBm6V+LiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: This says it has 4 axis, i can only count 3 x y and twist whats the 4th** A: The thrust axis is the 4.

It was easy to set up and responsive, mapping was simple and works fine with games like Star Citizen and Microsoft flight simulator. The ambidextrous grip is easy to swap over as long as you have a screwdriver handy.Running HOSAM for Star citizen has been an absolute game changer in not only how well I am able to fly but also the immersion into the game. It has a good amount of buttons to map your needed items very rarely do I have to move back to the keyboard when in flight. It does not have Vibration if that is something you are interested in. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect 👌👍 *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 July 2026* As expected 100% ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice mid ranged joystick *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 April 2017* I've been using a cyborg gold joystick for over 10 years, this review is based on my comparison to that.Pros:Easy to change to left handed and back if needed. Only 2 screws to do so.The joystick movement has a fair amount of resistance but it does scream quality.No dead zone, it centres perfect every time.Smooth movement, you feel in control with even the smallest of movements.Fairly heavy, so stays well planted on the desk. Worst case, there are two screw points underneath if you need them.Easy setup.Cons:The buttons feel soft, not a very positive clickThe sick is a little oversized IMO. I'm a medium to large glove size and i feel my hands are on the small side for this stick. It's not unusable, just doesn't feel quite right.When you move the stick the base lights up. After 3 seconds of being 100% centred, the light goes out, but comes back on when moved again. I'm finding this distracting. Great for checking if the stick is working correctly but with no option to turn this light off, i had to drop a star from my rating. There are videos online that show you how and which wire to cut to stop this but that will invalidate your warranty. I will cut mine as soon as the warranty has ended.Only thing i haven't mentioned so far is the slide throttle. Shame it's not a rotational throttle like on my cyborg gold, but for a slide throttle, it does its job and feels fine.My reason for getting this one is that it is the only quality left handed joystick on the market at the moment IMO ## Frequently Bought Together - Thrustmaster T16000M FCS - Ambidextrous Flight Control System with H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology for PC - Thrustmaster TFRP T.
