1. Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS Hotas
The T.16000M FCS HOTAS from Thrustmaster is a controller set for PC, consisting of a joystick designed for Elite Dangerous and a HOTAS flight control system that offers intuitive and realistic control options for space and flight simulation games.
Overview of the T.16000M FCS HOTAS set:
- Joystick with an 8-way coolie hat and 12 buttons
- Configurable for both right and left-handed users
- Throttle with 14 buttons, 3 thumbsticks, S.M.A.R.T. mounted, 16-bit polling rate
- For outstanding precision and intuitive control of flight simulators and space games
Total immersion for IL-2 and others. The joystick ensures a stable position due to its relatively high weight combined with a low center of gravity and its rubberized base. The 3D magnetic field technology with a sampling rate of 16,000 x 16,000 dpi guarantees highly precise control in games like Star Citizen or Mech Warrior. It can also be adapted for both right and left-handed users using the included tools and grip shells.
The Flight Control System in HOTAS design (Hands On Throttle And Stick) also includes the throttle, which is intricately mounted and allows for sensitive thrust control with a 16-bit polling rate. With its numerous programmable buttons, it, together with the joystick, provides a very realistic and especially immersive control experience for all flight and simulation games. This enables significantly more complex flight maneuvers with higher precision.
