Its rugged metal construction and intuitive pitch direction reversal make it the go-to choice for serious flight sim enthusiasts and arcade cabinet builders alike. ## Description The traditional ATARI Arcade Yoke controller back in 1983 used potentiometers to generate control output for the Star war arcade machine. It was made with a combination of complex machining parts and mechanisms. This includes having to use a gear drive mechanism, potentiometers and a complex wiring harness design. The GRS Flight Yoke uses a complete redesigned mechanism, overcoming the limitation of the original design. The GRS design includes the following: 1. Non-contact mechanical structure with magnetic sensing technology to drive the Yoke controller. 2. No gears, no potentiometer. Maximize precision, durability and the stability of the yoke controller. 3. Support new games!! ( Elite dangerous, STAR WARS: SQUADRONS etc.)The GRS Flight Yoke uses the standard USB interface. It will be recognized as gamepad controller on Windows/Linux/Raspberry Pi and can be used in any emulation platform that supports an analog joystick or mouse with 6 independent buttons including the functional buttons. So it’s more than just a yoke controller. 4. Physical Inertia Centering mechanism, a more accurate result and less re-calibration needed for the analog joystick. 5. 2 Buttons + 2 Triggers + 2 Functional Buttons (6 total) are recognized as Independent gamepad controller buttons. 6. Complete metal structure is used(handle grips are made with high strength hardened engineering plastic). 7. Mouse mode: Allow more game flexibility. The GRS Yoke can be used for games that use a mouse over an analog joystick. 8. Vertical direction reverse switching: Allow user to switch the direction of pitch without digging into the input configuration. 9. Arcade1UP Star War Arcade ready. Arcade Quality replacement yoke for your Star War Arcade1UP. 10. Atgame compatibility with external build such as PC/Raspberry PI via OTG 11. Commercial Arcade Compatibility. Potentiometer signal output. Review: Worth the money. One of the best analog joysticks out there. - Installed this yoke controller onto my custom build arcade PC cabinet and the controller worked out of the box using a USB connection. Simple to install and instructions are easy to understand. It can be used as an analog joystick or as a mouse. It also has a power button to power it off if you plan to use other controllers with your gaming rig to avoid hardware conflicts. Word of caution: It is built like a tank and definitely heavier than the average joystick. The construction is top-notch. Review: Best Yoke Yet - Glen is the man, knocked it out of the park with the flight yoke. This is a must have product for Star Wars A1up cabs, MAME cabs and ALU cabs, And its easy to install. ## Features - Analog control with 6 physical buttons - Gamepad controller support - Two mouse modes support - Pitch direction reversion - Compatible with Windows, Linux, Mac, Raspberry PI,Arcade1Up,*ALU(Only compatible with external build such as RPI/PC), Original Arcade ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08L7TVCM2 | | Additional Features | Ergonomic | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,892 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #65 in PC Game Flight Controls | | Brand Name | Thunderstick tsticks | | Button Quantity | 6 | | Color | Black, Grey | | Compatible Devices | PC, Windows | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Controller Type | Gamepad | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (90) | | Hardware Platform | Desktop, pc | | Item Weight | 3.31 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Thunderstick tsticks | | Manufacturer Part Number | TS-FY-01 | | Model Name | GRS Flight Yoke | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 192817314033 | ## Images ![Thunderstick tsticks GRS Flight Yoke - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PYN8hMMKL.jpg) ![Thunderstick tsticks GRS Flight Yoke - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711oMVcix2L.jpg) ![Thunderstick tsticks GRS Flight Yoke - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611cfFwshZL.jpg) ![Thunderstick tsticks GRS Flight Yoke - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TiytHm17L.jpg) ![Thunderstick tsticks GRS Flight Yoke - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Jtyt1f39L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Big emulation fan, trying to justify this purchase - besides Star Wars and Paperboy, what other games do you find yourself using this with?** A: There's plenty more to use it for.

One of the best analog joysticks out there. *by H***N on March 25, 2021* Installed this yoke controller onto my custom build arcade PC cabinet and the controller worked out of the box using a USB connection. Simple to install and instructions are easy to understand. It can be used as an analog joystick or as a mouse. It also has a power button to power it off if you plan to use other controllers with your gaming rig to avoid hardware conflicts. Word of caution: It is built like a tank and definitely heavier than the average joystick. The construction is top-notch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Yoke Yet *by S***R on November 7, 2025* Glen is the man, knocked it out of the park with the flight yoke. This is a must have product for Star Wars A1up cabs, MAME cabs and ALU cabs, And its easy to install. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice but not as a replacement for Atari’s original *by R***H on December 8, 2025* Very nicely made —but if you’re buying it as a replacement for the yoke on an original Atari Star Wars you will be disappointed by the feel of it. It plugs right in and works perfectly but in comparison to the original it feels lightweight in your hands and the triggers and buttons feel equally low rent. I’m sure compared to an Arcade1Up this is a vast improvement but for a classic machine you are going to want to spend the money to have your original controller refurbished. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thunderstick tsticks GRS Flight Yoke - GRS Push & Pull Arcade Spinner Ultra --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/245575899-thunderstick-tsticks-grs-flight-yoke](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/245575899-thunderstick-tsticks-grs-flight-yoke) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
