A grip built for combat
The grip has 21 action buttons, including 2 triggers with one dual-position trigger, 2 hat switches, a ministick and a thumbwheel. Targeting, weapons and countermeasures stay within reach of your thumb without letting go of the stick.
Precise and durable
The joystick uses H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology sensors with 16-bit precision on all 3 axes. Thrustmaster refined the mechanism using more than 10 years of experience to improve its durability.
It gives linear resistance in every direction, so it suits all types of flight simulation.
A base full of controls
The Sol-R base has 4 switches, 8 pads, a mini-throttle, a selector and a rotary knob to match real flight controls. The pads are derived from DJ controllers for a premium feel and reliable activation.
The RGB LEDs can be customised individually, so you can style the set your own way.
Configurable throttle
Thrustmaster's S.M.A.R.T slide rails give smooth, precise movement over 80mm of travel. You can set the detent to none, a 50% or 80% afterburner position, or dual detents, to match the aircraft you fly.
Buttons, hat switches, a thumbwheel and a rudder control on the throttle add more actions for your left hand.
Expand your setup
Add rudder control with the Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP). The Sol-R grip also fits a Thrustmaster AVA base, and the Sol-R base accepts the Viper and Hornet grips.
The free T.A.R.G.E.T software on PC lets you combine Thrustmaster devices and use one preset across them. Browse our HOTAS range for more.
Our expert take
"The Sol-R 4 is a well-rounded modern HOTAS. Hall effect sensors on the stick, a configurable afterburner detent and a base packed with switches and pads give it a lot of depth for DCS, Star Citizen and Microsoft Flight Simulator."
"It is PC only, and the throttle is a single lever, so airliner pilots who want separate engine levers may prefer a quadrant. Browse our flight simulator controls to compare."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
