Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick Universal Simulation Controller Joystick for Air & Space Combat Simulation – Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Windows 10, and Windows 11 PCs

Update: I feel it shouldn't be legal to manufacture something and claim that it does X, Y and Z when only X and Y work. For example, the warning lights behind the yoke look great, but they're all permanently lit and don't seem to do anything. Chatter around the Internet is that Turtle Beach are yet to get these functions working!! So you've made a product and it doesn't do what you've marketed it as doing?? That's misleading and surely not legal. That, along with the sticky yoke (it's just not smooth moving back and forth and jerks a little, but I hear it's something that fixes itself over time)..........is the only reason I don't like this system. But there are 100 reasons I do it like also..... Original review below... I’ve wanted this for ages. It was released but sold out quick, then it came in stock yesterday so I didn’t hesitate any longer to buy! Glad I got it! Came earlier today. The set up is easy to follow but takes time because you have to find a suitable place for it to go and then you have to connect cables. Then after plugging into Xbox you’ll end up tweaking some of the controls to suit your needs. For example, on the customisable panel on the throttle quadrant you can programme around 10 buttons I think to do what you want. I set to things like flaps up/down, landing gear, auto pilot, switch from external view to cockpit view etc. so the set up took a while. The flying itself takes a little getting used to if like me you’ve just moved away from using the Hotas One joystick. It’s like learning to drive in a Mini and then buying a Porsche. So many buttons to customise and memorise. But it’s awesome and feels very much like a real plane. Makes this whole set up feel less of a “game” and more of a real flying experience. I can’t recommend this enough. It works on PC as well as my xbox series S. no hassles at all setting up or using. The mrs wanted me to wrap it up for myself for Xmas day. She’s mental! it got opened and used right away… and you will too like a kid on Christmas Day! Enjoy

BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!! MANY of these reviews are for the wrong products. Amazon is lumping in reviews for the "flight control system" (yoke and throttle), and the rudder pedals, with reviews for the Flightstick. This review is ONLY for the Flightstick (joystick). I recently purchased two of the new Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightsticks, to use on a space game on my PC (Star Citizen). Normally, they're $130(US), but I got them when they were on sale for $110(US). I am extremely pleased with mine. They have a TON of features including some found on no other joysticks at any price. The only issue is that the sticks are a bit "stiff" at first, until they get broken in, particularly when centered. However, that quickly goes away with a few days of use. I can honestly say anyone who pays any more than this for a joystick is getting ripped off. These have GREATLY exceeded my expectations. BTW, I have been playing computer games since the 1980s and using joysticks for almost that long. I've owned a number of joysticks and HOTASes. I still own somewhere around 15. These are easily the best I've ever owned.

MSFS 2020 second set of rudder pedals tried. Very responsive with regular springs. Feels like my real 172 and the optional “GA” pedals are easy to rotate to match the ones in my plane. Turtle Beach makes top notch computer software which I remember from my digital music recording work a few years back. I’m very pleased with this purchase (it’s not “vapor” hardware that doesn’t really exist yet). It is in stock and available from many reputable vendors. You’ll have it in a few days. This is what manufacturer-customer service should be, not empty promises that never are realized. They aren’t fancy, they just do what they promise.
