Manufacturer description

The Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS is a mid-range flight stick built for sim pilots who want more travel and precision than a twist-axis gamepad can offer. Its H.E.A.R.T contactless magnetic sensor system (U.S. patent US08471815) reads stick position without physical contact, so the precision it ships with is the precision it keeps — no wiper wear drifting your center point after a few hundred hours in the cockpit. Thrustmaster gives you 16 action buttons with braille-style raised markings so you can find a function by feel without leaving the canopy view, plus an 8-way POV hat and 4 independent…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the T.16000M FCS come with a throttle?

No. This listing is the T.16000M FCS flight stick on its own. Thrustmaster sells a separate HOTAS bundle that pairs this stick with the TWCS Weapon Control System throttle.

Can left-handed players use this joystick?

Yes. Three removable components let you reconfigure the stick for either hand, so it is fully ambidextrous rather than a right-handed design with a mirrored option.

Do I need rudder pedals with it?

Not to get started. The stick has 4 independent axes including a twist rudder controlled by rotating the grip, which covers yaw for most flight and space sims.

How many buttons does it have?

16 action buttons, each with braille-style physical identification so you can locate them by touch, plus one 8-way point-of-view hat switch.
