Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightdeck Universal HOTAS Simulation System Joystick & Throttle for Air & Space Combat Simulation For Windows 10 & 11 PCs – Touch Display & Buttons, 139 Programmable Controls

Amazing. Switched my thrustmaster 16000 and rudimentary throttle quadrant for this to play Warthunder sim in VR and DCS and so far all I’ve played is Warthunder, but it works like a charm. Haven’t had this much fun flying in a long time, you have to map out each button for Warthunder and DCS but anyone who plays will know this already. The only complaint I have is that one of the 6-8 hat buttons doesn’t have a binding for if you click down and only works directionally. Would be an issue if there weren’t FIVE OTHER hat switches that do let you bind clicking it. Buy it you won’t be disappointed.

I love it! It's very versatile for my style of gaming. I use it mainly for MSFS2020/2024 and i can say it is a very comfortable and reliable product. I'll buy it again in a blink of an eye knowing how the product is! The only problem sometimes is that the stick is a little stiff and if not secure to your desk coul make lift the whole joystick. But it only happened a few times. Lots of parameters that you can modify to get the best of it.

FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO GET THIS FOR XBOX: Fairly nice feeling build quality but still 90% plastic. The flight stick is EXTREMELY stiff and did not come calibrated correctly as I had drift. The buttons are satisfying and the screen was nice and clear. This would be a nice simple starter stick ON PC. On Xbox this is pretty much useless unless all you play is Microsoft Flight Sim. The “compatibility mode” meant for use with games like War Thunder have extremely limited functionality and are very unsatisfying. Please do not get this for Xbox you will waste time and money.

Was looking forward to trying out my first HOTAS setup. Was in the market for an entry level throttle and joystick combo and saw a few reviews on this combo unit. Some of them had some comments about quality being unsatisfactory in some areas but I just brushed it off as nitpicking. When the unit arrived I noticed it was shipped in box within another box within an Amazon box with a bit of paper packaging. Inside the product box was just some cardboard packaging. No foam or any kind of impact packaging. Not exactly what I would want to see after paying $400 but again was going to brush it off as nitpicking. That opinion changed when I was updating firmware for both units when suddenly the throttle unit turned off. I was updating the UI for the display on the joystick when this happened. I had only just plugged in the USB cable for the first time and had the unit out of the box for about 5 minutes. Joystick works just fine with no issues while updating firmware. Tried swapping cables. Using different USB-C to A cables I had for other peripherals. Tried power cycling PC. Did the recovery process on the support page. No luck. Device won't power on and no data signal detected in control software. At this point I accepted the fact the throttle unit was defective and would need to be sent back. Updating the firmware was rather easy but does take some time to complete. While I didn't have a chance to use the setup, some things I noticed about the HOTAS are the fact that they used a lot of plastic which make it somewhat light weight. This could be an issue for those who don't have proper mounting points for their controls as they could accidentally lift their controls off the desk. Another thing I noticed that also was mention in reviews is how "loose and wiggly" some of the caps on buttons and switches are. The throttle grip seems a bit on the large hand size as trying to reach some of the buttons either on the back or side could be difficult and might require frequent repositioning of your hand's grip on the throttle controls. The left throttle also doesn't seem to go all the way down to Max Rev but the right throttle does. The grips are also covered in a rubber like plastic coating or material to give you a good grip but it feels like it could lose that characteristic with frequent use. All in all this would be a hard pass for me in future as it's not worth the time spent trying to get everything set up only for it to give up the ghost after unboxing the unit.

(Bought on sale) I have owned this HOTAS for a few weeks at this point with regular use in combat flight simulators (DCS World, War Thunder), and I can confidently say that this is an amazing HOTAS system for the money, Turtlebeach really outdone themselves with this product. The build quality is amazing and all the buttons and switches function perfectly. However, and this was stated quite a lot before me- The three switch covers on the Joystick base feel loose and wobble on the metal switch arm itself- However for me it is not an issue at all. _Stick_ Pros: - Stick grip is very ergonomic and fits most hand sizes with the sliding feature. - A lot of programmable buttons, switches, HAT switches, joysticks and rotary switches. - Build quality is amazing for the price. - Very satisfying buttons and switches. - Very responsive gimbal. Cons: - Pretty useless screen ontop of the stick - "Mouse" feature on the pickle button is very rough and unresponsive, as well as also being useless as it is right now with how choppy it is. _Throttle_ Pros: - Very accurate throttle readings. - Extremely smooth throttle sliding. - "Fire" button extremely satisfying to press (personal opinion) - Many useful buttons, HAT switches, 3 position switches and joysticks all over the throttle grip. - Split throttle feature, can prove useful in certain twin-engine aircraft. - Useful programmable screen (Can make your own switch panel using keyboard bindings in the software) that makes use of digital switches, dials and buttons. - Satisfying knobs and dials near the throttle grip Cons: - Never found a use for the "flap" lever as no game I tried recognizes the lever moving (as an axis), instead recognizing the switch clicks on the bottom and top of the travel - Touch screen is pretty low framerate and can wash out at certain angles. Overall, I really recommend buying this HOTAS system as it is a great product overall and you get an amazing system without breaking the bank like some of the more higher end HOTAS out there by Thrustmaster, Winwing, Etc. And you get a lot for what you pay which is always a big plus!. and I really recommend buying the Turtlebeach Rudder pedals along with this HOTAS system for an immersive flying experience!.

So, I started playing War Thunder and I was using the Logitech 3D Extreme and after some time playing in the simulator mode, I realized I wanted to upgrade to a more quality joystick that had more features (buttons) that would suit my game play. I saw that Turtle Beach offered the Velocity One joystick listed on Amazon and after reading a few reviews and watching a couple YouTube videos I decided to go ahead and invest in one since I already owned the Turtle Beach gaming headset and ordered the joystick through Amazon. Now that I have been using it for the past three weeks, I can give an honest review. I love it. There are so many ways you can configure this stick and it comes with more than just extra buttons... it's got two throttles and a middle mouse wheel along with a touch pad to control the mouse pointer. It is unique in that you can adjust, calibrate, modify and do everything right on the stick that has a small navigation screen you use to adjust your settings. I could even adjust the audio and mic settings on the Turtle Beach gaming headphones right on the stick which is so cool. You can even change the button lights right on the stick for heaven's sake! Since I am a PC player, I cannot speak to how it performs on Xbox, but it does have a compatibility feature that enables a player to use it on an Xbox console. You just have to go to their website and download and install the new firmware version. You should do that whether you are a PC or console player right off the bat. It was painless for me. There is one thing that I must admit that I don't use on the stick and that is the mouse pointer pad. It is so sensitive that even the slightest touch will activate the mouse pointer when you don't want or have the need for it, so I turn that feature off. But it is really unique that it has that feature. One other thing I experienced when I first started using it is that it may seem a little stiff at first, but once you use it for a few hours it seems to get "broken in" and now it is very comfortable for me, I think that's due to the heavy spring that is inside. It can be configured for right or left-handed players and the palm rest is height adjustable in case you have large or small hands. I play a lot of War Thunder and this joystick has performed perfectly for me. I honestly feel that I really got my money's worth, and it is absolutely an upgrade from my Logitech's 3D Extreme stick. A solid 5 stars from me.

At first I really liked this flight stick. It's very compact and doesn't take up a lot of desk space, feels firm, has plenty of buttons and nice throttle and flap levers. It has one major flaw in my case though. The right top hat that you use to look around. After about 6 to 8 months it developed slight drift where it would want to constantly turn the camera and you'd have to fiddle with it to make it stop. It got worse over time. I figured I had just gotten a defective one, it happens. I liked everything else about it so I replaced it with the same. Well about a year in I started to get the same drift which progressively got worse until now today I'm looking at replacing it again, but with something else this time. I really didn't use that switch excessively, but I DO need it and I was extra careful with the second one. If you don't need this button the rest of the stick is great and solid. If you do use it though, I can't recommend this stick.

This wasn't necessarily a wise investment, but it is objectively the coolest thing I own. It works great. Tons of customizability, you'll spend a lot of time setting up key bindings if you want to use it to most of its potential. If you're really creative (and have undiagnosed autism) you can use JoyToKey to bind arbitrary inputs or macros to either controller for crazy things, I spent 4 hours setting up the joystick to be my brush controls for a 3D sculpting application, which is obviously not the typical use case, but it works. It has options you wouldn't think to realize you're missing, e.g. skipping the use of a mouse entirely with a sort of trackball (touch based), look that up if you need accessibility options or a way to use a mouse without moving your hand. Really this has way more gizmos than I can explain here, the customization on the menus for the throttle controller are also pretty crazy with arbitrary digital button arrangements and inputs (you can have multiple presets too). A lot of the triggers are both analog and binary, meaning you could press shift to activate the trigger as an analog controller for zoom, and then have it continue to operate to fire when it's fully depressed. You don't have to use that functionality, but it's great that you can. This flexibility applies even to something like a scroll wheel: it can operate as a simple plus or minus, or an analog scale. If you need something to continuously provide a value, not just shift it, that's why that's so important—think having a smooth gentle rudder input vs. tapping it fully for a short moment repeatedly. My only gripe was that my firmware upgrade didn't go through initially when I tried it with their application (which is also great itself.) No harm done, but the scare kept me off from ever trying the update again.
