I bought this same stick from Ozzy a few years ago after discovering that, for some reason, you can't buy a good joystick in New Zealand. After seeing the same cheap pieces of crap everywhere I went I finally got one from overseas. Hand it to Mightyape to have got some in for us. I haven't played with it much, and I'm not a joystick aficionado but it does what I want it to do and it feels fine. The only thing I don't like is the area around the base of the stick lights up green when you move the stick (that green clear plastic in the picture). I have no idea what purpose this serves but it annoyed me so I covered it with duct tape. Other than that I can recommend this device. A good joystick for a decent price.

While the number of flight simulator and air combat games is diminishing, the need for a good joystick for these games is still high priority if you enjoy soaring above a virtual world. Five years ago, air combat games were a little more popular as they often showcased amazing graphics and visuals.

Icrontic reviews Tom Clancy's HAWX from Icrontic.com on Vimeo . When I got the box from Thrustmaster while I was on the road, I couldn't wait to get home and unbox it. The moment I wrapped my hands around the flightstick, I got a grin on my face; I felt like a little kid in an airplane museum who...

When gaming on a PC, most people use the standard mouse and keyboard, but for some games, especially flying games, I prefer to use a joystick, it not only adds to the realism, but makes it more fun and realistic.

Well made; No extra software to install; Plug and play; Sensitive to movements; Lots of buttons; Truly adds to gaming experience; Easy to use

None really

I have been using flight simulation for several years now and have got through many Joysticks, some alleged to be amongst the best. Well, all I can say is, this one is the best yet for me, perfect rudder control, and smooth flight, I am now able to use aircraft in the sim (fsx) that I found...

I bought 2. To use with a new game coming out called Star Citizen. They are extremely accurate, good solid responsive feel without being heavy. Extremely easy to set left/right hand versions. They are a real joy to use.

I hope it is going to be worth the money

Overall pleasantly surprised for the price, the joystick looks and feels quite robust. My only complaints are that the throttle slider is very small meaning its quite hard to be accurate and the joystick centering springs seem slightly too stiff meaning it takes quite a bit of force to move the...

Easy To Intall And Use; Precision Movement; Not for small hands

I bought this from FK... Its the best joystick you can buy at this price,,, The joystick has good spring stiffness... 16million values of X,Y,Z axes makes is very good for Flight Sim... Spring is neither too stiff not too loose... Centres perfectly at zero value.... Has LED at base...

The Thrustmaster T16000M is a fantastic joystick. Its very sturdy does not slide around at all on my desk. Incredibly smooth action and precise control. The buttons and slider do not have as much feedback as I would like and are positioned a little awkwardly but I don't think you'll find another joystick of such high quality for less. Works great in Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen.
