Ideal for immersive gameplay and professional-grade control setups, this joystick elevates your flight sim experience with comfort, versatility, and total cockpit command. ## Description From the manufacturer T.16000M FCS Joystick Thrustmaster has devoted its 25 years of expertise in flight sim controllers to meet the growing demand from flight simmers in general – and space simmers in particular. The T.16000M FCS has been designed for advanced fliers looking for comprehensive, realistic controls as an alternative to using a mouse and keyboard. The T.16000M FCS (Flight Control System) flight stick is compatible with PC via USB in Windows 10, 8 and 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). T.16000M FCS The T.16000M FCS features 4 independent axes, including twist rudder (controlled by rotating the stick), 16 action buttons with “braille”-style physical button identification, one 8-way Point of View (PoV) hat switch and an ergonomic trigger. Its striking orange accents and backlighting bring gamers’ immersion to a whole new level. H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology In order to deliver exclusive high-precision performance, pitch and roll on the T.16000M FCS flight stick employ H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology (U.S. patent US08471815) for 16-bit resolution (i.e. 16000 x 16000 values) – the same pinpoint accuracy delivered by the extremely high-end HOTAS Warthog joystick, allowing gamers to engage their enemies with surgical precision. The helical spring (0.1” / 2.8 mm in diameter) inside the stick provides firm, linear and smooth tension. Ambidextrous design The joystick’s unique ambidextrous design can be easily switched between right-handed and left-handed use. Its twisting handle controls the rudder by default, but can also be locked in place. Piloting with a joystick in each hand is now possible in all games compatible with two joysticks. Thrustmaster advanced flying ecosystem These products are part of a range of flight simulation peripherals that can be used in conjunction with one another: a complete ecosystem featuring the FCS flight stick, TWCS throttle, TFRP rudder pedals* and MFD* (Multi-Functional Display) cockpit panels. These elements are also compatible with the T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software. * Sold separately. T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software on PC: program up to 256 buttons in the flying ecosystem Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor software: combine with other Thrustmaster devices (so that they are recognized as a single USB device), and load or create specific mapping profiles for each game. Tailor your own profiles to enhance most Thrustmaster flight controllers, and share them with the Thrustmaster community. Ergonomic design for optimum comfort and precision Thanks to its design and ergonomics, the T.16000M FSC provides players with multiple recognizable features, allowing them to become more effective and accurate when in flight. This enhanced access to flight controls proves even more essential when players are fully immersed in the exceptional flight experience delivered by VR-compatible games. Review: The best entry level / budget joystick for starters - The Thrustmaster T16000M does it's job perfectly as an entry level joystick to enter into space or flight sims. It was easy to set up and responsive, mapping was simple and works fine with games like Star Citizen and Microsoft flight simulator. The ambidextrous grip is easy to swap over as long as you have a screwdriver handy. Running HOSAM for Star citizen has been an absolute game changer in not only how well I am able to fly but also the immersion into the game. It has a good amount of buttons to map your needed items very rarely do I have to move back to the keyboard when in flight. It does not have Vibration if that is something you are interested in. Review: Perfect 👌👍 - As expected 100% ## Features - 🎛️ 16 Action Buttons & Total Control: Features 16 physical buttons (12 on the base, 4 on the stick), an ergonomic throttle slider, and an 8-way Point of View (PoV) hat switch for perfect situational awareness and cockpit visibility. - 🔄 Ambidextrous Design: With three removable components, the joystick easily converts for right- or left-handed use. It is also ideal for a dual-joystick setup (HOSAS) in advanced space simulations. - 🛠️ T.A.R.G.E.T Software for Pro Profiles: Use the Thrustmaster Advanced Programming Graphical Editor to create custom mappings, configure macros, and combine the flight stick with other Thrustmaster devices as a single USB device. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01H6KXGEI | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,123 in PC & Video Games ( See Top 100 in PC & Video Games ) 39 in PC Game Controllers | | Brand | Thrustmaster | | Brand Name | Thrustmaster | | Button Quantity | 24 | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Compatible devices | PC | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Controller Type | Joystick | | Controller type | Joystick | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,486 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03362932914778 | | Hardware Platform | Desktop, PC | | Included Components | 1 x Additional index rests, 1 x Additional thumb rests, 1 x T.16000M FCS joysticks, 1 x User manual and warranty information | | Item Dimensions | 20.8 x 19.8 x 24 centimetres | | Item Weight | 1138 Grams | | Manufacturer | Thrustmaster | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2960773 | | Model Name | T-16000M FCS | | Model Number | 2960773 | | Model name | T-16000M FCS | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | carry in | | Special Features | Ambidextrous, Ergonomic, HEART effect | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Thrustmaster - **Compatible devices:** PC - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Controller type:** Joystick - **Model name:** T-16000M FCS ## Images ![T16000M FCS - Ambidextrous Flight Control System with H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology for PC | 16 programable buttons, 8-way hat switch, 4 axes, twist rudder, integrated throttle, Hall effect sensors, ambidextrous - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GBm6V+LiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: This says it has 4 axis, i can only count 3 x y and twist whats the 4th** A: The thrust axis is the 4.

You wont find better at this price, its a far superior stick then the x56. Only issues i had was the stick has alot of tension like a steering wheel with no power steering and a lack of a much needed shift key. After using the x56, T16000m and the mach2, In the end i went for the raptor mach 2 stick which is a vkb gladiator replica. Movement of the stick is smoother has shift key to increase hat and trigger functions. Only issue was the Twist axis needed more of twist before it would register, the t16000m has a better twist axis. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thrustmaster T16000M FCS - Ambidextrous Flight Control System with H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology for PC - Thrustmaster TFRP T.
