WARNING: long review I try to pay attention to everything.
I've been using my Thrustmaster T.16000M HOTAS for some time now to fly fighter jets and helicopters, and I can say it's highly recommended.
The stick is very precise, the smallest movements are included, so shooting vehicles off the ground with your A-10 has become as easy as frying an egg.
The throttle has 3 hat switches and a thumbstick. The thumbstick is very nice to use for slew controls, the three other hat switches are very nice to use, they are all 8-way.
There is also a rudder rocker on the throttle. This one is surprisingly precise and fun to use, making small rudder corrections easy if you don't have rudder pedals. The rudder rocker and twist-rudder are seen as two separate axes, so you can also use the rudder rocker for something else and then just use twist-rudder on the stick.
There are also 3 buttons and a two-way rocker switch on the throttle. These are conveniently located and easy to use, even with my little hands! There is also a rotary wheel on the left edge of the throttle. This counts as an analog axis and has a high precision, small adjustments of 1% to, for example, a radiator valve can be made very easily.
What is a problem is that the throttle does not always slide smoothly, then you slide the entire device forward instead of just the throttle.
Now back to the stick.
There are 12 buttons on the base of the stick. I personally find these buttons less useful because they are difficult to reach, but if you have a moment where you can let go of the throttle or stick, these buttons can easily be used for landing gear, or flaps, for example.
As mentioned, the stick itself is very precise, but it can perhaps be experienced as "stiff". The stick needs more force to be moved, but once you get used to this I do feel that this leads to better control over the plane. Even for flying helicopters, this stick is really insane.
On the front of the stick are three buttons and an 8-way hat switch. I personally use the hat switch for trim, but it can be used for anything. The hat switch is very precise and feels good.
The buttons on the front, which are unfortunately a bit difficult to reach if you have small hands.
There is a single trigger on the back of the stick. This is a single-stage trigger, with a very nice click.
There is a small slider on the front of the base. I use this slider to set the speed of the propellers. Like all analog axes on the stick, this slider is very precise and can be used for anything and everything.
All in all, a great stick for this low price. Definitely recommend! You only really get a good impression of how great this stick is once you have played with it yourself, flying has never been so easy!

After discovering the world of flight sims with FSX: Steam Edition, I needed a little more "hands-on" than a playstation controller. Several reviews praise the Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS for its excellent price/quality ratio and its precise magnetic sensor. After 2 years of casual use (in FSX: Steam Edition, later Xplane 11 and Elite Dangerous) a number of defects have come to light.
But first the positives:
Negative points:
“Neutral Points”:
All in all, this joystick/throttle combo is still a good deal, especially for the novice flightsimmer who doesn't want to spend too much but still wants a complete package. An equally accurate joystick can only be found in much higher price ranges (+/- €400). Nevertheless, it remains to watch out for certain technical defects (of course it can also be bad luck).
