Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick Universal Simulation Controller Joystick for Air & Space Combat Simulation - Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Windows 10, and Windows 11 PCs

(Bought on sale)I have owned this HOTAS for a few weeks at this point with regular use in combat flight simulators (DCS World, War Thunder), and I can confidently say that this is an amazing HOTAS system for the money, Turtlebeach really outdone themselves with this product.The build quality is amazing and all the buttons and switches function perfectly.However, and this was stated quite a lot before me- The three switch covers on the Joystick base feel loose and wobble on the metal switch arm itself- However for me it is not an issue at all._Stick_Pros:- Stick grip is very ergonomic and fits most hand sizes with the sliding feature.- A lot of programmable buttons, switches, HAT switches, joysticks and rotary switches.- Build quality is amazing for the price.- Very satisfying buttons and switches.- Very responsive gimbal.Cons:- Pretty useless screen ontop of the stick- "Mouse" feature on the pickle button is very rough and unresponsive, as well as also being useless as it is right now with how choppy it is._Throttle_Pros:- Very accurate throttle readings.- Extremely smooth throttle sliding.- "Fire" button extremely satisfying to press (personal opinion)- Many useful buttons, HAT switches, 3 position switches and joysticks all over the throttle grip.- Split throttle feature, can prove useful in certain twin-engine aircraft.- Useful programmable screen (Can make your own switch panel using keyboard bindings in the software) that makes use of digital switches, dials and buttons.- Satisfying knobs and dials near the throttle gripCons:- Never found a use for the "flap" lever as no game I tried recognizes the lever moving (as an axis), instead recognizing the switch clicks on the bottom and top of the travel- Touch screen is pretty low framerate and can wash out at certain angles.Overall, I really recommend buying this HOTAS system as it is a great product overall and you get an amazing system without breaking the bank like some of the more higher end HOTAS out there by Thrustmaster, Winwing, Etc. And you get a lot for what you pay which is always a big plus!.and I really recommend buying the Turtlebeach Rudder pedals along with this HOTAS system for an immersive flying experience!.

Even though I'm replacing these joysticks with another brand's, I'm still giving them 5 stars. They are very good joysticks that are well made and offer lots of good options.I bought a pair of them to use with some space-based flight games. And they functioned very well.My reason for replacing them is due to personal preference. Due to the complexity of the games that I play, I really need more buttons (HAT switches) on the joysticks themselves (not the base), as the game's pacing is so fast I can't afford to take my hands off the stick to use buttons on the base. And having a single HAT and a thumbstick just isn't enough for my needs. So I am replacing these units with something that has a LOT more buttons, switches, and HATs on the sticks, but that's not these joysticks' fault. It's just a personal preference.As long as you're not in need of having 40 millions buttons for your thumbs, these are great joysticks, well made, sturdy, and accurately responsive, and I whole-heartedly recommend them. In fact, I'm disappointed to be moving on from them, and intend to keep them for future use of less intensive games.So i would say you can buy these sticks with confidence, just make sure you know what you need and are buying to fit that need. Happy gaming!

FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO GET THIS FOR XBOX: Fairly nice feeling build quality but still 90% plastic. The flight stick is EXTREMELY stiff and did not come calibrated correctly as I had drift. The buttons are satisfying and the screen was nice and clear. This would be a nice simple starter stick ON PC. On Xbox this is pretty much useless unless all you play is Microsoft Flight Sim. The “compatibility mode” meant for use with games like War Thunder have extremely limited functionality and are very unsatisfying. Please do not get this for Xbox you will waste time and money.
