The Hotas X is not quite as solid as the X52, and it doesn't have quite so many buttons and hats, but it is about a third of the price. I love it - the entire design ethos seems to have been "let's build it with a budget, but make it as good as we can". The stick is solid and responsive (with an adjustment wheel underneath). The throttle has a useful midway detent. And unlike some cheaper sticks it has a twist rudder as well. The base is not exactly heavy, but it's wide enough to provide good support. Again - they've stripped out some premium features, but made the basics work as well as you could want. As other reviewers have noted, one downside is the short cable between the two sections if you want the throttle on your left and the stick on your right (especially to match up with Elite Dangerous). It's just about long enough, but you end up with the cable stretched over you which is a little awkward. It seems like it was designed to be used on a desk in front of you, and it's a shame they didn't use a detachable cable like some other designs that you could swap out. I've been using it with DCS World where it works great - I was worried I'd miss the extra buttons and wheels of the X52, but it really does work as a good HOTAS since I rarely have to resort to the keyboard. Buttons-wise, there's a trigger, a second button for the trigger-finger, a hat-stick and two buttons on top of the joystick - together these are good for launching/switching weapons and slewing/locking sensors. The throttle has three big thumb buttons (useful for switching modes/sensors), a little thumb button I use for countermeasures, plus two finger buttons I use as clutch/modifier buttons which essentially triple the number of functions. On the throttle base are two more buttons I use for flap settings. If you can afford a Saitek X52, you probably won't think twice about getting one. But if you're unsure, get the Hotas X - you won't even notice what you're missing. Review: Quality Product - Great Price! - Fantastic Product and not only because of it's cheap price. I play Elite:Dangerous mostly and have been doing successfully for over a year with a xbox 360 gamepad. I thought that I wouldn't gain much by getting a joystick for this. I had toyed with the idea but as I was happy and most joysticks are a bit pricey I put it off. Thanks to a link from a fellow gamer I received a link for this item when it was just ÂŖ20. I am more than satisfied with the purchase. For - The stick, although the PS3 edition, worked perfectly with my PC. I run windows 10 and I literaly plugged the stick in and it worked. Elite:Dangerous even had some basic flight controls pre programmed in but I had to edit a few in the game which can be expected. The build quality of the stick feels solid enough. It has a small alan key in the base that is used if you want to have the 2 sections either attached or seperated, you can fasten it with the inbuilt screws and it won't budge. If you prefer to have the stick and handle seperate that is also an option. I have read somewhere that the cable that connects the 2 isn't long enough but I didn't find that the case. It actually has more cable underneath that just needs pulling out if you want it to go further. The responce time on the stick is instant with no visible lag at all, my gameplay skill has increased a lot with the addition of the stick. I find myself able to make tighter turns and am able to follow enemies in my sight easier. I have no issue staying directly behind other ships now and am out manouvering ships that are supposed to be more agile than mine! There are a large number of buttons on this stick that are fully programable within the game I play so I very rarely have to use the keyboard for anything. Against - The only thing that would improve this stick is an aditional HUD but other than that for the price this is probably the best thing to invest in if you are unsure and want to test using a stick before splashing out larger amounts of money for some of the other sticks! ## Features - Unique Plug & Play device offering extremely simple and fast installation - Detachable, real-size, ergonomically-designed throttle control - Dual-system aerodynamic control: by rotating handle (with integrated blocking system) or by progressive tilting lever - High-precision joystick with adjustable resistance - Wide hand rest for optimal comfort - Trigger for brakes (civil flight) or for rapid fire (military flight) + multi-directional hat (panoramic view) - Weighted base for greater stability - Exclusive "MAPPING" button - Exclusive "PRESET" button" - Internal memory ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001CXYMFS | | Best Sellers Rank | 11,320 in PC & Video Games ( See Top 100 in PC & Video Games ) 39 in PC Joysticks | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (8,246) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 2960703 | | Language | English, French | | Product Dimensions | 26.4 x 24.2 x 26.5 cm; 2.2 kg | | Rated | Unknown | | Release date | 5 Aug. 2011 | ## Images ![Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X - Joystick and Throttle for PC/PS3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71T+cWTYOHL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X - Joystick and Throttle for PC/PS3 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hpVW505oL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X - Joystick and Throttle for PC/PS3 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AT7YDqUbL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X - Joystick and Throttle for PC/PS3 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wHTYblAvL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X - Joystick and Throttle for PC/PS3 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DiNLzhtRL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Please is it compatible with windows 7and does it incorporate force feed back.** A: Yes it is compatible with Windows 7 without any drivers needed, and it does not have force feedback. **Q: how many buttons does it have?** A: 12 buttons, with the hat switch, and yaw controls on the throttle, loads of buttons really :-) **Q: Hi Quick question is the joystick compatible with Mac os** A: It should work fine, I have read that this is one of the HOTAS sticks that supports OSX and though I have no mac games to try, my Mac running Yosemite detects this as a T-Flight Hotas X out of the box **Q: Do these rudder pedal work with this rig? http://amzn.to/2kRNS2m** A: So long as your game allows control input from multiple sources I can't see why it wouldn't work with those pedals. The throttle has a rocker switch on the back usually used for rudder control but it can likely be remapped for something else if you have the rudder pedals. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb "premium budget" flight stick *by M***T on 26 August 2017* I used to have a Saitek X52 which was a very good joystick - unfortunately, it was and is quite expensive and I couldn't quite justify spending so much when I got the flight sim bug again recently after a few years.

Smooth faultless operation, comfortable to handle, strong construction and most importantly works exceptionally well. I use it primarily with Flight Sim X Gold edition on Windows 10. Tip for those having problems using FS X on Windows 10 with registration problems is: To over-come the registration problem run FS X in "Administration" mode and registration confirmation is obtained. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X (Compatible with PC) - Thrustmaster TFRP Rudder Pedals for Flight Simulators - Hikig 2 Set The Desk Mount for The Flight Sim Game Joystick, Throttle and Hotas Systems Compatible with Logitech X56, X52, X52 Pro, Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas,Thrustmaster T.16000M, Thrustmaster TCA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48103485-thrustmaster-t-flight-hotas-x-joystick-and-throttle-for-pc](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48103485-thrustmaster-t-flight-hotas-x-joystick-and-throttle-for-pc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
