Review: The King of Deep Space. - I just wanted to leave a review for this as there currently aren't very many. This is part review for this stick, and part comparison of it between other sticks. For reference, I've extensively used the following sticks: Saitek X52 and X52 pro, Logitech 3D Extreme Pro, old FCS, Warthog, and now this. Also, I play pretty much every type of flight game, including DCS, IL-2 back in the day, SWG back in the day, E:D, and SC. So with that out of the way, this is my favorite stick. It feels weird to say that when I own a warthog, and the build quality and general feel is definitely better on the warthog. The button layout is also much better on the hog. However, once you factor in the price difference and the twist axis, this stick is my daily driver. Another big advantage this stick has over the hog, to me, is the lighter springs. The hog is great for flying an old warplane or something that's really slow, but not so great when dogfighting in a space sim, or when needing to do really precise movements. I just overall find this stick to be easier to use for space sims in general. The new model doesn't seem like a massive upgrade from the old one. I'm not sure what's up with the orange coloring, but I digress. The main difference is that the buttons on the base now have textured markings (which is a life saver in VR or if you just don't want to be looking down), most of the buttons now are textured and more ergonomical, and it seems that the spring makes a lot less noise and is of slightly higher quality. Although that could just be because it's new and my old FCS is old. One thing to note, expanding on textured buttons, is that if you are playing in VR, the warthog throttle is actually a pretty terrible experience. The switches are all over the place and you won't have any way to see them. I hope that all sticks in the future follow the trend of having unique textures on the buttons, so you can feel your way around what you're doing. Definitely a major plus if you're playing in VR. If you're new to Thrustmaster in general, another thing to note is that the T.A.R.G.E.T. scripting software is second to none as far as allowing you to get really in depth with customizing how you want your stick to act, as well as how it's programmed. It's not exactly user-friendly, but you can do pretty much anything you want with it. This stick's biggest weakness is the lack of buttons on the handle. There are plenty on the base, but I really find myself just wanting more on the handle. I picked up two of the cougar MFD's, and find those easier to use than the buttons on the base. Still, next time around, get some more buttons on this thing's handle Thrustmaster. I really wish that this stick and the warthog could make a baby. I'd love to have the metal sticks with the great button layouts, while also having the ability to use it ambidextrously, having a twist axis, and having the lightweight handling that this one does. Unfortunately, that's not really an option. So given that, this stick is my recommendation. The warthog is technically superior, but this stick offers more than enough bang for the buck, and I'm actually probably going to sell my hog soon since it doesn't have a twist axis. The extra handle buttons on the hog are really nice, but the lack of a twist axis just makes it almost useless in a space sim. And you can make up for a lack of buttons with VoiceAttack. The bottom line is that whether you're a new pilot or a seasoned veteran, this stick can do it all pretty well. I've been flying in PC games since I was a kid, and I've used a lot of sticks. This one is my favorite. I think you'd be hard pressed to prove that a warthog is going to give any real-world combat advantage, so the only reason I see to fork over the extra cash is if you really want that metal handle (which does feel nice...). My current setup is using two of these, two MFD's, and a throttle on my left side. I have rudder pedals, but I have no need for them with this setup. The two sticks provide full 6DOF freedom in space sims, and the throttle still allows me to fly regular planes (or long haul flights in space sims) without awkwardly trying to use two sticks. Then the MFD's fill the need for a near infinite amount of buttons. You can slap all of that on a board with some velcro, sit in an office chair, and rival the setups of the biggest and baddest simpits out there for less than what you'd pay for just a warthog stick in some places. Just buy two of these and you won't regret it, seriously. That's my .02, hopefully it helps someone. Happy flying, o7
Review: Great joystick for a reasonable price - I bought this joystick as a replacement for my very old Logitech Extreme #D Pro, which got very imprecise. The new joystick was very easy to hook up and configure with MSFS 2024, and gives me precise control over my aircraft. Haven't had any issues thus far.

## Features

- The T.16000M FCS Space Sim Duo features Thrustmaster's exclusive heart comprised of magnetic sensors located on the stick delivering unmatched levels of accuracy
- A total of 32 action buttons with Braille style physical button identification enable gamers to play the game without ever removing their hands from the joysticks
- The T.16000M FCS Space Sim Duo is fully ambidextrous. Three detachable components allow both joysticks to be perfectly tailored to both left-handed and right-handed players, in all PC games.
- Optimized ergonomics: Wide hand rests and weighted bases ensure optimum comfort and improved stability, even during intense maneuvers and dogfights.
- T.A.R.G.E.T software allows players to load or create mapping profiles for each game.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between this and the Logitech Extremem 3d pro ($35)?**
A: The coincidence is that I have both of them and USE both of them (Dual stick setup) for a game called Star Citizen. I bought the 3D Pro a few years ago and just got hte FCS last December. The main difference is the fluidity of movement from one axial direction to the other. While it may not sound as important, it made a big difference for me in-game. Of course there are more buttons (the 3D Pro has 6 buttons on the left on its base while the FCS has 6 on each side of the base). But in terms of functionality, I'd have to say that the FCS is more comfortable. Also if you're one who does not like the "thumb" rest, you can remove it and replace it with one of the FCS's non-thumb grip which is instead, in-line with the actual stick. This is provided in the box as well. In conclusion, I'd have to say that the FCS would be a good choice. I don't regret my 3D Pro purchase, but if it stopped working, I'd get a second FCS immediately. But for now, the only reason why I'm not getting a 2nd FCS is that the 3D Pro works great still, but does not feel as comfortable as my FCS. Hope I answered well and wasn't sounding like a Thrustmaster advertiser LOL.

**Q: Is this the model that was developed with Frontier for Elite Dangerous?**
A: Yes, also Elite Dangerous has a built-in profile to get you started. http://www.thrustmaster.com/sites/all/modules/imagemanager/files/T16000FCS/Mapping-stationT16000MHotas.jpg You can work from the default settings to reassign buttons to your preferences.

**Q: How long is the cord between the throttle and flight stick?**
A: There is no cord between them. The each have their own USB cord. And if you have a game that needs then to look like one device, the TARGET software can do that.

**Q: Is this good for Elite Dangerous?**
A: I have used this HOTAS with Elite Dangerous for SEVERAL Years and have had NO issues with it.  It 's WONDERFUL!  But of course I use it along with mouse and keyboard a lot.  The POV switch for your index finger on the throttle is a great way to map thrusters for slow maneuvering around a landing site or for asteroid mining.  (Although as an old "Descent 1/2/3" player, I still use my Keyboard Keypad for thrusters more often.  Just more capability for mining.)  
I'm a big guy, naturally strong grip, and still cannot hurt this setup!  In combat many times I have twisted the hell out of all axis movements and it doesn't flinch.  And Combat in a Corvette requires more time in movements cuz it's SLOW! (But VERY effective)
Asteroid mining and SRV use is very well supported with this.  I can fly a huge CUTTER around the big Asteroids and some small like a fighter!
I have used this for Star Citizen but don't play it.  (Long Story)  AND it is GREAT for Microsoft Flight Simulator too!
This was Designed with E.D. in mind and is a FANTASTIC HOTAS for that game specifically, though it will work for other flight sims just great too!  VERY STURDY and VERY DURABLE!  (And I have over 2000 hours in E.D. including flying out to Beagle Point)
Highly Recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great joystick for a reasonable price
*by K***R on March 4, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the money, could be better.
*by J***. on December 15, 2016*

The glide on the throttle is supreme and they work wonderfully in game. The software for these things could use some improvement. Its really advanced, and allows you to change basically everything about the controls, including adding dead zones and adjusting the curve of the axis and how much effect it has at different points. The down side is that the software isn't well explained, there are no tutorials for it, and I still have yet to figure out some parts of it. The construction at first looks like its cheap plastic, and its certainly not metal, but it feels nicer to use than it looks. One major gripe I have is that so many of the buttons are very obviously using rubber dome switches. For a pittance more they could have put in cheap mechanical switches and so many of the buttons would have felt better. The forward paddles on the throttle are a bit hard to reach at first, but you get used to it. Also the billion 4 way button sets on the side of the throttle are a bit strange when trying to figure out what to bind to them, and perhaps a different kind of button set-up there would have been better. The control stick on the front of the paddle is also strangely placed, and a sliding control stick (like on the Nintendo 3ds) would have probably served better. The wheel on the far left of the throttle is also a bit strange. Its too stiff to effectively use your pinky to control, and they could have put a nice rubber grip on it, furthermore I have no idea what to even use it for. In the end this is a great mid-entry level HOTAS with a host of buttons. I'm happy with it, but obviously improvements to future designs could be made without increasing the cost of production significantly.
