Quality throttle, joystick could use some improving
Throttle is very smooth in its travel, and the sheer number of mappable buttons & toggle switches are amazing. The joystick however leaves a little to be desired – Out of the box there was jitter in the roll and pitch axis, requiring quite a bit of time adjusting the deadzone to eliminate it. The thrustmaster “TARGET” software is somewhat difficult to use, and would continuously misidentify my cpu cooler water pump, instead of to the joystick when trying to map custom button features and adjust the deadzone calibration and expo curves. Would also have been nice to have a few more buttons/toggles on the joystick itself instead of on the base. However for this price point, it's hard to complain. Both the throttle and stick feel solid, and have a nice weight to them so they don't slide around all over your desk. Solid 3.5/5
