10 best joy sticks
Joysticks are input devices primarily used in the realm of gaming, specifically for PC and video games.They fall under the category of gaming accessories and are commonly associated with flight simulation games, space exploration games, and certain driving or combat games.
A joystick typically consists of a stick handle mounted on a base, allowing users to control the movement of objects within the game. The handle can be moved in different directions, such as up, down, left, and right, as well as tilted for various degrees of motion. These movements are translated into corresponding actions or movements within the game.
Modern joysticks often come equipped with additional features such as buttons, triggers, and sometimes even force feedback, providing a more immersive gaming experience. The buttons and triggers are used to perform specific in-game actions like shooting, accelerating, or activating special abilities.
In the context of gaming mice, some gaming mice are designed with a joystick-like thumb rest or a mini-joystick integrated into the mouse. This feature can provide additional control options, enhancing gameplay for certain genres or styles of games.
Overall, joysticks are crucial accessories for gamers seeking precise and dynamic control over their in-game movements, especially in games that involve flying, driving, or other complex spatial interactions. They contribute to an immersive gaming experience and are popular among enthusiasts of flight simulators and similar game genres.

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this work great with Elite: Dangerous |
Answer: | It works great with Elite Dangerous. I have used it for about 2 months. Unfortunately, my number 3 button and the right hat switch stopped working. I used neither switch very much. I'm awaiting a response from Logitech to see if they will replace the stick. |
Question: | Approximately what is the twist (yaw) range, in real-world degrees? And the pitch/roll range |
Answer: | The joystick's handle itself twists approximately 15 degrees to either side for yaw, angles appx. 40 degrees (side to side) for roll, -pitches (forward/down) at appx 45 degrees and +pitches (backwards/up) at 30-35 degrees. What those motions will correspond to will really depend on the application in which they are used. Most flight games have advanced control settings that will let you tailor the response of the aircraft to the range of motion of the stick in advanced or personalized control set up menus. |
Question: | does anyone know if this is compatible with the online game WarThunder |
Answer: | yes, warthunder even has a preset for this the stick. |
Question: | Has anyone tryed it on the game Star Citizen |
Answer: | You should check out Thrustmaster T.16000M. You can try running dual joysticks too for SC, like two of Thrustmaster T.16000M or combine one T.16000M with this Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this good for Elite Dangerous |
Answer: | This is very good for Elite Dangerous. I upgraded from a Thrustmaster HOTAS X and am so very glad I did. I can finally be viable with just the joystick. I have two friends that use this as well, and they both use VR so using a keyboard also is not a good option. With this setup, they no longer have to worry about using anything other than this setup. |
Question: | How long is the cord between the throttle and flight stick |
Answer: | 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. |
Question: | What's the difference between this and the Logitech Extremem 3d pro |
Answer: | 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. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does the throttle work on twin engine aircraft such as the a |
Answer: | Yes. In flight sims if you assign the throttle axis to the throttle input in game, the throttle should operate all engines together like any other throttle. Ive tested it in Xplane. If you want to fly a twin engine plane and control the throttles separately (for aiding in steering on the ground and things like that), you need to use a key binding for the seperate throttle inputs or just drag it with the mouse pointer. You could always assign then to the seperate axises on the throttle but that might be awkard. I use those for prop advance, mixture ect.But for normal flying it works fine. |
Question: | How is this joystick secured to the desk? It seems like with that small base it would slide around a lot especially with the rudder controls |
Answer: | Like Will answered, there are four suction cups on the bottom of both the stick and throttle that, on *some* desks, will work very well (smooth surfaces like glass are best, but an ikea or wooden desk might be hit or miss). With very aggressive joystick movements the base can come up off the desk. Myself personally have not had any issue with it sliding from the rudder/yaw though!Beyond that there are four rubber "feet" that grip fairly well for sliding, however that isn't the problem I had with them. My issue is that the base will "rock" up off the desk with hard throttle input because it's kind of sticky when it's brand new (at least mine was). I rectified this by taking it apart and removing some of the silicon grease used. This loosened it up more than the adjuster on the side allowed for and it's very comfortable now. I also removed the "bump" in it while I was at it, and now the whole thing works perfectly for me.I should add that there are two holes on each base that would allow for a screw or bolt to pass through. Would be rock solid that way if you want to mount them to something! |
Question: | What are the individual footprint dimensions for each (L x W |
Answer: | both sticks have the same footprint which is about 6.75" X 6.75" |
Question: | Can you run a helicopter simulation with these controls? If so, what is a good helicoptor simulator program? Thanks |
Answer: | HOTAS works pretty good for helicopter controls (I've only played ARMA though) but I'd recommend removing the "bumps" in the throttle. It's very easy to do, completely reversible, and helps a ton for helicopter flight! I'd also recommend removing a little of the silicon grease used to lubricated the throttle, as this will help loosen it up more. Cheers!https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=115981 |

Question: | Is this compatible with Windows, Linux, Mac, etc |
Answer: | If you are asking if they can be folded up and placed within a pocket (of the pants) I’d have to say no. They are nice storm pants and can be rolled up fairly small for packing purposes. The suspenders would make it difficult to do what I think you are asking. Hope this helps! |
Question: | Can I use it as a handbrake in rally games? Will it do a good job |
Answer: | I'm 6'1, 175lbs, usually wear 33Wx32L pant. The MED (32L) is a perfect fit on me. I think LG would be right for a 34/36 waist. |
Question: | Is this Compatible with WarThunder |

Answer: | I plugged mine into a computer that didn't work. It would turn on, but only to a blue screen. I could not open any program or even to log in. When I plugged this in and turned on my old computer I DID NOT DOWNLOAD the system on the USB. So Microsoft still works. However, on an older, but still working I did download a 2nd Xtra PC Pro (yes, I bought 2). The one I downloaded the program does not use Microsoft or Google. I could still access the documents, but couldn't make changes on the Microsoft documents. |

HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) control of all cockpit elements.
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 – who have requested a mid-range HOTAS joystick.
The T.16000M FCS HOTAS has been designed for advanced fliers looking for comprehensive, realistic controls as an alternative to using a mouse and keyboard.
It is composed of the T.16000M FCS (Flight Control System) flight stick and the TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) throttle. The T.16000M FCS HOTAS is compatible with PC via USB in Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista (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 insure 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.
TWCS throttle
TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) throttle: use your left hand to increase your combat speed and manage your spaceship or jet fighter.
The TWCS throttle’s lower positioning compared to quadrant-based systems provides unrivalled comfort.
