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). T.16000M FCS 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. H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology 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. Ambidextrous design 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.

Ergonomic design for optimum comfort and precision 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. Review: The best entry level / budget joystick for starters - The Thrustmaster T16000M does it's job perfectly as an entry level joystick to enter into space or flight sims. 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.

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 click The 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.
