I'll try to keep this short and to the point. The entire HOTAS segment is overpriced and underwhelming, but in that less than ideal setting, this combo set is a decent value.The T.16000M flight stick has a great feel. The resistance is higher than a lot of other flight sticks, but personally I like it as it gives the stick a clear center point and requires deliberate thought and movement. The actual tracking and motion feels smooth and precise, as does the trigger. Unfortunately, the rest of the stick feels and looks rather cheap, though the overall design is ergonomic, comfortable, and the grip can be switched to accommodate left-handed pilots.The throttle feels similarly smooth and precise at first, and it's on-rails movement is unique in the segment.

That said, the factory grease isn't the best, and within about two weeks the throttle was prone to sticking at certain points. Opening it up and replacing the factory grease with a better one solved this, but at $160 (up $30 from the original MSRP of $130), this shouldn't be needed. The throttle has plenty of buttons, switches, and hats, and I like both the analog stick and paddles on the front (though I wish the analog stick was positioned for use with the thumb which would be more precise).Both input separately via USB, and while additional programming software is offered by Thrustmaster, it's not needed for the majority of games. I did download and install a single driver file, but after that, no additional software was needed, and Elite: Dangerous even had a preconfigured control set up for the FCS HOTAS.My major complaint is the entire set up feels entry-level in terms of the amount of plastic used and the quality of said plastic, yet commands a decidedly premium price relative to other input devices like gaming mice and controllers. I understand the HOTAS market is completely skewed in terms of pricing, and at $160, this is technically entry-level as far as HOTAS pricing goes but it doesn't feel like a $160 product. Instead, it feels like a $99 product with an inflated market price, and the lack of mechanical switches, or denser, better feeling materials like metal or carbon fiber is a disappointment.In all, I would say this is a decent set up, and after 150 hours in Elite, I haven't had any issues other than the throttle sticking mentioned above. That said, the Z-axis twist feature built into the flight stick's grip is notorious across the internet for high failure rates, and should be mentioned.

A bit disappointed, the controllers have a sturdy feel, but as others have stated, all 3 are made out of plastic, a little less than 1/8" thick or thin depending upon which way you look at it.The rudder peddles, the width from outside left to right is 11.5", comfortable position for me when sitting, feet are 15" apart left inside of my foot to right inside. Point being I have to almost put my knees together to get my feet on the peddles, great for a kid but not so much for an adult. As with a real aircraft, and I am a pilot, you push forward on the peddles to apply the brakes. If you have the peddles right under your feet up against your chair, easy enough to do, but is rather uncomfortable to have them that close, any further away, since there are no adjustments ... MoreA bit disappointed, the controllers have a sturdy feel, but as others have stated, all 3 are made out of plastic, a little less than 1/8" thick or thin depending upon which way you look at it.The rudder peddles, the width from outside left to right is 11.5", comfortable position for me when sitting, feet are 15" apart left inside of my foot to right inside.

If you have the peddles right under your feet up against your chair, easy enough to do, but is rather uncomfortable to have them that close, any further away, since there are no adjustments it is very difficult to get the peddles pushed all the way forward to apply the brakes. There is also the fact the there isn't any real tension pushing the peddles backwards or forwards to control the rudder so you can go off course or worse buy simply putting your feet on the peddles.I purchased this set to us with MS Flight Simulator 2020, when you go to controls in MSFS you can see the joystick and the throttle. When you go to the joystick settings, it shows all the buttons and a lot of axis settings, like Joystick axis, X, X-, X+, Y, Y-, Y+ and so on, problem is, its trial and error to figure out which axis goes to which joystick control. When you go to the throttle settings, it shows the same thing but instead of saying throttle axis, it says joystick. It took a long time to finally get everything setup and working the way I wanted, problem though is when I went back a few days later, I was back to square 1, even thought I saved the settings, it did not remember them.I know the manuals shows all of the button and axis settings per device, and this might be a MSFS issue, but the settings should be a little, or a lot clearer as to button and axis assignments/settings/configuration per controller, you shouldn't have to guess.Joystick seems to work ok but I do have a problem with the buttons. I have an old Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, same amount of buttons and all have numbers on them, the Thrustmaster joystick does not so at quick glance finding the right button can be a challenge.I know, this review is mostly negative, and a lot if my frustration stems from not wanting to spend hours calibrating and adjusting settings hoping that the settings will be saved. I am the kind of person that if I cannot figure out the basics within the first 15 or 20 minutes, I have no use for whatever it is. Other than the rudder issue, which to me renders that device useless, if you have the time and patience to configure and set everything up give the joystick and throttle control a shot, you might have better luck than I.

These things were made to fit with Elite Dangerous in their color choices. Tons of buttons, but I understand the criticism in reviews on physical placement of the hat switch on the top and the buttons on the base can be awkward to find your way around. I frequently have to look at it in order to know which one I am pressing, which was fine-ish with the first one I got which didn't get super bright until you floored it in one direction. Unfortunately mine developed some issues with drift and return to neutral. I kept increasing the deadzone to try and compensate, but eventually had to touch base with Thrustmaster. The service was meh, but they did replace it under warranty and send me a new joystick at no charge. Which is where I touch on the dumb lights at the base ... MoreThese things were made to fit with Elite Dangerous in their color choices.

Which is where I touch on the dumb lights at the base of the joystick... the replacement model they sent me doesn't have the issues with drift, but Thrustmaster at some point replaced the correlative lighting with a very, very bright constant light. You will find complaints about that feature all over the internet and I keep meaning to snip the wires because it's very distracting when you're playing something dark like Elite Dangerous and keep having to look right into that light to determine which base button you're ambiguously about to push. All in all very solid though, it was a massive upgrade from the T-Flight and works great with the Monstertech chair mounts, even if those will drive you to bankruptcy. Most of the buttons and trigger feel fine, but some of the hat choices on the throttle seem silly. You get used to it though.
I have an 80/20 cockpit that I usually use for sim racing, but I added this flight stick and throttle and it is great fun for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Star Wars Squadrons. The stick has good build quality, even though its plastic, and it has two hard mount threaded holes. It feels very good in my hand and has plenty of conveniently located buttons with braille dots on them so I can find them while in VR. The throttle also feels great, although the resistance is a little stiff for me. It also has two hard mount threaded holes and so I was able to conveniently mount it to the left side of my cockpit. My only complaint is the pedals. I did not find them to be comfortable and so they are in the box collecting dust.In summary, although not cheap, this flight ... MoreI have an 80/20 cockpit that I usually use for sim racing, but I added this flight stick and throttle and it is great fun for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Star Wars Squadrons.

Its a fantastic HOTAS, especially for beginners getting into games like DCS. Ive just gotten into it and it is amazing, it all feels great and smooth. The layout of all the buttons feel great and allows for every player to have their own mapping for controls that you can get used to. It can start out overwhelming but if you have the patience and determination to stick with it itll pay off ten fold. As far as the quality, even though its plastic it doesnt feel cheap or flimsy. Its sturdy and doesnt creak when pressure is applied to anywhere Ive tested. Overall, I think its amazing and anyone on the fence about it should take the leap especially if flight sims or HOTAS based games interest you at all.
I'm using this for MSFS 2020 right now and I'm pretty happy with it.I did a lot of research before spending this much money on a HOTAS and while it doesn't necessarily blow me away, I am very happy.The throttle slide isn't buttery smooth but it's certainly not bad at all. There are easy ways to improve that if you search online but it isn't bad enough for me to bother.The joystick is miles ahead of my oldschool Wingman Extreme 2 and I like it very much straight out of the box.I intended to use the paddle on the throttle for rudder control but I actually like the twist of the joystick for that. That doesn't mean the throttle isn't useful - it's covered in other controls and I use the small index finger stick for looking around a lot.If I were to buy again I ... MoreI'm using this for MSFS 2020 right now and I'm pretty happy with it.I did a lot of research before spending this much money on a HOTAS and while it doesn't necessarily blow me away, I am very happy.The throttle slide isn't buttery smooth but it's certainly not bad at all.

That doesn't mean the throttle isn't useful - it's covered in other controls and I use the small index finger stick for looking around a lot.If I were to buy again I might look for something with more buttons on the stick as opposed to each side of the stick because it requires me to let go of the stick to use the right 6 buttons. But this is doesn't mean they're useless by any means - I just need to program them for commands that aren't detrimental to letting go such as menu commands. Regardless - they're WAY better than using the keyboard.I also enjoy the flexibility of each piece having its own cable - although I do wish they were a bit longer.Overall, if you are new to flying games or simulators, I would strongly consider this HOTAS. While you could get by with a joystick alone, having the combination changes and improves the experience a great deal.And B&H is great, as always.
Cons: From a professional pilot’s perspective;-The rudder pedals/brakes combo are okay. The joystick and throttle both have too many buttons and knobs that don’t seem to do anything. What is the paddle/seesaw device on the front of the throttle? Where is the diagrammatic explanation of all these functions?I have never flown an aircraft with a throttle like the T16000M - that and the stick buttons are ergonomically very poor. The effects of the controls are somewhat unrealistic. I would happily design a better generic arrangement for you, as I suspect it has not had more ch of an input from pilots!
I'm a long time flight simmer and more recently have been playing a lot of Elite Dangerous. My fairly old Saitek HOTAS recently gave up the ghost and I was in the market for a new setup. I'd very much like a Thrustmaster Warthog but can't justify the price at the moment, especially as it recently seems to have spiked from 300-ish to 400. I'd heard good things about the T-1600M and found OcUK were selling this package with the throttle and pedals considerably cheaper than everyone else.The stick itself is very nice, It's got a decent weight to the base so it feels solid and won't move around the desk as you use it. The grip is very comfortable (and the package includes the necessary bits to change it over for left hand use).

I'd very much like a Thrustmaster Warthog but can't justify the price at the moment, especially as it recently seems to have spiked from 300-ish to 400. I'd heard good things about the T-1600M and found OcUK were selling this package with the throttle and pedals considerably cheaper than everyone else.The stick itself is very nice, It's got a decent weight to the base so it feels solid and won't move around the desk as you use it. The grip is very comfortable (and the package includes the necessary bits to change it over for left hand use). This stick uses the Hall Effect sensors which are found in Thrustmaster's considerably more expensive flagship HOTAS Warthog. The advantages touted are these sensors are very accurate and precise, with a high resolution. They don't wear out and aren't effected by dust getting inside the stick. So in theory at least, as long as you look after this stick and don't abuse it too much it should last forever. In my flight sims I've found it to be very smooth and pleasant to fly with. The throttle unit is also rather nice. Rather than rock back and forth the throttle slides back and forth on metal rails built into the base. The action is just a little bit juddery or sticky, but nothing that a bit of extra lube on the rails won't sort out. The base i quite light, but has a large footprint and the rubber feet do a good job of gripping my desk so I haven't found the throttle sliding or moving about the desk despite it's relatively light weight. It seems to be designed for larger hands though, so if you have small hands you might find yourself having to move your hand on the throttle to reach the buttons and rudder rocker controller on the front. The rudder pedals are about as good as you'd expect them to be at this price point. Again the unit has a good weight to it and the rubber feet grip the carpet far better than the ones on my old Saitek pedals which seemed to be forever slipping and sliding on the carpet as I used the pedals. The rudder travel itself isn't massive, but again at this price point you can't really expect more. The pedals themselves would seem to be suitable for all but the largest or smallest of feet. You can remove the lip at the bottom of the pedals if you wish. I do find the central position detent on the pedals to be a bit weak, and in use it can be quite hard to "feel" the central position of the pedals. The pedals are also rather close together (more so than the Saitek pedals). To be fair after a few hours use I've got used to it and don't really notice it. The toe brake action is nice and smooth too and the springs for these seem to be stronger than the Saitek ones which make them easier to use as you can more accurately feel the pressure you are applying to the brakes. Note though these are flight pedals and the toe brakes pivot around a point about halfway up the pedal - as such they aren't really suitable for use in driving games.I haven't tried the Thrustmaster Target software for programming - I can quite happily get by without it.I'd have preferred a fourth button on the top of the stick, and a stronger central detent on the rudder pedals. Overall this is a very good setup for the price (less than half the current cost of just the HOTAS Warthog stick and throttle). Highly recommended for those looking for an entry level stick/throttle/pedals setup or who can't justify the price of the HOTAS Warthog or some of the other high end specialist flight controllers (from the likes of VKB, etc).
Had a Saitek X36F for many years that finally died and seeing the prices on similar setups, I decided to try a cheap stick for a bit before making a decision which system to go to next. Tried the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, but unfortunately, it only lasted a few months before most of the axis were so messed up it was unusable.Found a good price on this system with B&H. Reviews seemed pretty solid, so decided to give this system a shot. I debated between this and the Thrustmaster Airbus Edition. Decided on the T.16000M because of the rudder paddle on the throttle and all of the extra buttons with this setup.I am second guessing this at this point because this does not have the most ergonomic button placement.

Decided on the T.16000M because of the rudder paddle on the throttle and all of the extra buttons with this setup.I am second guessing this at this point because this does not have the most ergonomic button placement. Throttle movement is not real smooth. MSFS default layout has the elevator trim set to the wheel at the left end of the throttle, but every time you make an adjustment to the throttle you inadvertently make drastic changes to the trim. You have to shift your grip forward on the throttle to reach the rudder paddle, which moves your hand out of position of most of the buttons on the throttle. The old Saitek throttle had the rudder paddle positioned so that you could maintain a standard grip and be in position to use other buttons and controls simultaneously.So far everything is working as it should, it is just not that comfortable to use, and it is difficult to shift your grip around to hit buttons while maintaining full control of your aircraft. Adding the optional rudder pedals would obviously help the situation, but I have used the somewhat similar Saitek system for years so I know that it can work better than this.
