## Overview

The Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X is a USB flight stick and throttle combo designed for PC gamers seeking an ergonomic, fully programmable HOTAS setup. Featuring 12 customizable buttons, 5 axes, adjustable joystick resistance, and a detachable throttle, it offers versatile cockpit configurations and precise control.

## Description

The Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X delivers a comfortable ergonomic hotas experience with a wide hand rest and real size throttle control shaped to keep your hands relaxed during marathon flight sim sessions, so you can focus on the skies instead of sore wrists. Every one of the 12 action buttons and all 5 axes are fully programmable, giving you total command over your favorite flight simulator titles and the freedom to map controls exactly the way you want for civil or military scenarios. The detachable throttle lets you separate the two halves to build a wider, more immersive flight sim cockpit layout on your desk, or snap them together for a compact footprint that fits any space. A high precision flight joystick with adjustable resistance puts smooth, accurate control at your fingertips, while dual rudder options via handle rotation or a progressive tilting lever ensure every maneuver feels natural and responsive. Out of the box, preconfigured controls mean you can plug in and take off instantly, and the exclusive preset button lets you swap between custom profiles mid flight, while built in memory stores all your settings even when disconnected, so your perfect configuration is always ready and waiting. Compatible with PC, this flight stick and throttle combination is the ideal entry point for anyone looking to elevate their flight simulator experience.

Review: A great price positioned joystick/throttle combo that won't break the bank - I have looked at Thrustmaster sticks over the years with envy, to me they represented an elite level in joysticks. While I really like flight and spaceflight simulations, I could never quite warrant spending the big bucks on Thrustmaster or Saitek joysticks. Logitech and others had reasonably priced sticks for my level of gaming. For the past several years I have been on consoles so joysticks were not a big option. Recently I stepped back into PC gaming and I purchased one of the "Elite" space combat games. Even in the video for the game, the character used a stick combo that was very similar to a Thrustmaster setup...clever subliminal marketing? Maybe so because after trying somewhat unsuccessfully to fly on just a keyboard and mouse, I was looking for a stick I thought about going with one of the Logitech sticks, like what I had before, then I saw this setup. Where it would be asy to close in on or surpass 400.00 US on Thrustmaster sticks, here was both for a very very reasonable price. Was it discontinued? An inferior model or refurb? Nope, it is just a specific model that Thrustmaster produced to solicit a niche of bargain PC gamers and PS3 gamers(Yes! The stick works on PS3!!! I find out AFTER I have moved on to the PS4( I have yet to see if it works on PS4, but even if it does there are not many games that call for a stick like this)) The T-Flight is a great stick for the price-point. It is not going to be the same quality as the 200.00 individual components, but that is not to say this is not a quality device...Au Contraire... This is a great bang for the buck. The unit arrives together in the box but not connected. You have the option of screwing the throttle and the stick together via installed screws in the base. There also is an allen wrench included in the base, complete with its own snap in nook. This is good because the screw heads are of a star type. That being said, you should put them together to see if you are comfortable with them being that close together. Maybe you have space limitations...who knows. I tried it and personally felt it was a little close together for me and how I was using it, so I opted to separate the stick and throttle. The cord that connects them is about 3 feet long and will wrap up in the base of the throttle if you choose to connect them. True to good quality sticks like Thrustmaster, there are many buttons and they are programmable. Additionally there is an tensioning adjustment under the flight stick, but it didn't make a great bit of difference to me. All in all the joystick has a good feel to it and responds well. With one exception which I have seen in several reviews, I will add in mine as well. The throttle has a middle or neutral spot if you will and I guess in lieu of making a spring based solution, they mad moving out of this spot a little hard. It's almost like it sticks, you definitely will feel it and it can affect what you are trying to do, especially thrusting forward. I believe in time, with a good amount of usage, the stick should wear sufficiently to be more smooth but for now it is almost certainly a hindrance. For many it can be lived with, others it could be the straw that breaks the camels back in deciding on this stick. If you can put your hands on one before buying, I think that would help you formulate a better decision. A joystick or gamepad can be 10$ and feel perfectly right for you or a 200.00 professional model and still not quite cut it. It really comes down to how it feels to you. In the end, I think this is a fantastic stick, especially for the price. It has many features, very programmable and feels really good with the exception of the throttle mid point. For me, I can overlook it given how I use the stick and the frequency.
Review: I use this for Elite Dangerous: Horizons. - OMG I love this thing! It's cheap, fairly solid and has a good amount of buttons. Ergonomics and button placement is also great. Yeah it doesn't have as many buttons as a $200+ flight stick, but I purchased one of these as a gift last year for $33 USD right here on desertcart. Even at $50 USD it's a great value. Something that more hard core flight sim folks probably hate (but I love) about this little HOTAS is the throttle. In the muddle position it has a little notch. This is great for knowing where zero throttle is in Elite Dangerous. I have friends that play elite with $200 - $300+ HOTAS setups that don't have this notch. For Elite it's super important to know where zero throttle is. So, this thing DOES look like an old 15pin PC controller from 1997 but when you put your hands on it, you can really feel the ergonomics of this It feels great, but looks chinchy. I can't dock it a star for this. It's got it where it counts. It also seems well made. I have been using mine almost every single day for the last 6 months (probably 5 days a week on average) and it's perfect. It's made of plastic and does creek a little bit but it's fine. A friend of mine got one of these a couple years ago to play an A-10 sim. It's got WAY MORE "MILES" on it than mine. It seems like maybe it's a little more "creeky" than mine, but not annoyingly so and works just as good as mine does. Buttons... It could definitely use more buttons. But for a sub $50 HOTAS I think it comes with a generous supply of buttons. If you play Elite though you know how many buttons ones needs. It has plenty though for everything you need in flight and conflict. I have to use the keyboard though for things like ship lights, landing gear, switching fire groups. More minor stuff. I originally got this as a stepping stone to a much nicer HOTAS after 6 months now I have no desire to upgrade. It works perfectly for me. Oh a final note this does come apart into two parts, but the cable connecting the two parts is a hair short. If you have a gaming keyboard, it probably won't reach. I typically play with it together, it's a but more stable that way. Hope this was helpful.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how does this stick work playing elite dangerous? any suggestions if this one isnt very good for the game?**
A: I own this T-flight HOTAS X by Thrustmaster and I play it on Elite Dangerous. It works very well, especially after you adjust the tension knob on the bottom to you liking. It has plenty of buttons to do what you need it to do, the biggest boon, it Elites keymapping to be able to press combo buttons for different effects.

**Q: Can you detach the throttle but still use it?  Say if I wanted to mount the throttle on the left arm of my chair, and the flight stick on the right?**
A: The throttle handle is designed for the left hand. Use it on the right and your thumb wont be able to access the buttons.

**Q: Does this have yaw control? As in, can you twist the stick clockwise/counterclockwise?**
A: In short, yes.  Long answer:  There are two options for yaw control.  The stick has twist functionality for yaw.  For a second option, there is a two way rocker/lever bar behind the throttle assembly (where the tips of your fingers rest).

**Q: Would this work on Star Citizen alpha?**
A: This is a great buy for Star Citizen's. One of the top reasons if not my number one reason for getting it. Tested and works great, surprisingly made well!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Entry-Level HOTAS for Flight Simulators
*by C***S on May 24, 2026*

I purchased the Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X primarily for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator, and overall it has been a very solid setup, especially for the price. The joystick and throttle combination makes flying feel much more immersive compared to using a keyboard or standard controller. The controls are comfortable, responsive, and easy to learn for someone getting into flight simulators. I especially liked having a separate throttle control, which added a much more realistic feel during takeoffs, landings, and longer flights. Setup was also fairly straightforward, and it worked well with MSFS without major issues. The main reason I’m giving it 4/5 instead of 5 is that it definitely feels more entry-level in terms of materials and precision compared to higher-end HOTAS systems. However, for casual sim pilots or beginners, it offers excellent value and a great overall experience. Overall, this is a great starter flight stick for anyone looking to improve immersion in flight simulators without spending a fortune.
