The Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS pairs Thrustmaster's precise Hall Effect T.16000M flight stick with the TWCS throttle for a complete hands-on-throttle-and-stick setup on PC. Together they give you 9 axes, 30 buttons, and two 8-way hat switches, enough to keep flaps, gear, trim, views, and weapons on physical controls instead of the keyboard.

The stick uses contactless magnetic sensors that hold their accuracy over time, and its ambidextrous design suits left- or right-handed pilots. The TWCS throttle sits lower than a traditional quadrant for a relaxed left-hand position, and its rear RJ12 port connects Thrustmaster TFRP rudder pedals directly when you're ready for rudder and toe brakes.

T.16000M FCS flight stick:

  • H.E.A.R.T Hall Effect sensors: HallEffect AccuRate Technology provides 16-bit resolution (16,000 x 16,000 values) on pitch and roll, with friction-free magnets that keep their precision over time.
  • 4 independent axes: Including twist rudder, controlled by rotating the stick.
  • 16 action buttons: 12 on the base and 4 on the stick, with braille-style physical identification so you can find them by feel.
  • 8-way Point of View hat switch and an ergonomic trigger for brakes or weapons.
  • Fully ambidextrous: Three removable components configure the stick for either hand, and a switch flips the 12 base buttons to match.
  • Smooth, firm feel: A 2.8 mm (0.1") helical spring provides linear tension, with a wide hand rest and weighted base for stability.

TWCS throttle:

  • 14 action buttons and an 8-way hat switch, added to those on the stick.
  • 5 axes: Including the main throttle and a mini-stick.
  • S.M.A.R.T sliding rail system: Smooth throttle movement over 80 mm of travel, with friction adjustable using a tightening screw.
  • Low-profile ergonomics: Lower hand position than a quadrant-style throttle for comfort on long flights.
  • Rudder pedal ready: Rear RJ12 connector adds 3 more axes with optional TFRP rudder pedals.
  • Mounting: Rubber feet for desk use, plus threaded inserts for mounting in a cockpit.

T.A.R.G.E.T programming software: Combine the stick, throttle, and other Thrustmaster devices so they are recognized as a single USB device, program up to 256 buttons, and load or create mapping profiles for each game.

Compatibility: PC with Windows 10 or 11 via USB.

Mount the stick and throttle to a desk or cockpit with the TM Flying Clamp (sold separately).

  • Pros:
  • Review: I bought this and tried it out. Spending a day trying to program the 20 or 30 buttons and trying to remember them all really isn't my thing. I went back to the Saitech Pro yoke to keep the flying fun.

  • Pros:
  • Review: Great HOTAS. After a few weeks, the throttle was not as smooth as it once was (have to press down on more firmly than I would prefer to get it not to be a tiny bit sticky), but that's a very minor inconvenience. Everything else works great!

Fantastic mid-range HOTAS

  • By A Customer on Wednesday, October 7, 2020
  • Pros: Accurate, perfect for VR, more buttons than you can shake a SAM at.
  • Review: Having come from a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro to this, it was a massive jump in performance and features. The joystick movement is drastically smoother and more accurate, the throttle feels great, even if it took getting used to how big it is, and all in all it is a great stick. Perfect for VR headsets.

    I think my biggest gripe is that the flight stick is not nearly as ergonomic as the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, and even though I knew it was coming it was a little disappointing to see only three buttons and a hat compared to the X3D's five. It would be a 5-star stick if it was more ergonomic though.

The Best HOTAS in the budget to mid range

  • By Boston from Maryland on Thursday, September 17, 2020
  • Pros: Reliability, Responsiveness
  • Review: I own the Logitech 3d Pro, Saitek X52, X56, t.flight and the Thrustmaster T16000m FCS HOTAS. The FCS is by far the best of the bunch. Better sensors and better durability.

    Love it so much I made a video here.

  • By Carl from Conover NC USA on Thursday, October 11, 2018
  • Pros:
  • Review: Works very well. Actually a little overwhelmed by the amount of buttons available. On X-planes 11, I get to choose what function I assign to each button. I would prefer this to happen somehow automatically and realistically to match what they would really control in each plane. Suppose that would have to be in the flight sim software. Would definitely recommend.
