Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS
The Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS pairs the T.16000M FCS flight stick with the TWCS throttle, giving you hands-on throttle and stick control on PC. It is built for combat flight, civil aviation and space sims.
Together they give you 5 axes, 30 buttons and two 8-way hat switches. The stick uses Thrustmaster's H.E.A.R.T magnetic sensors on pitch and roll for 16,000 x 16,000 values of resolution.
It is part of the Thrustmaster range.

The T.16000M FCS flight stick
Pitch and roll use Thrustmaster's patented H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology, the same level of accuracy Thrustmaster quotes for its high-end HOTAS Warthog. A 2.8mm helical spring gives firm, linear and smooth tension.
The stick has 4 axes including twist rudder, 16 action buttons with braille-style identification, an 8-way hat switch and an ergonomic trigger. It can be switched between right and left-handed use.
The TWCS throttle
Your left hand manages speed and systems on the TWCS throttle. It adds 14 buttons and another 8-way hat switch to the stick, and sits lower than a quadrant-style throttle for a comfortable hand position.
A rear RJ12 connector adds 3 more axes when you plug in the Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP).
Smooth, precise throttle travel
Thrustmaster's S.M.A.R.T (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks) system uses slide rails for smooth, accurate throttle movement across 80mm of travel.
A tightening screw lets you set the throttle friction to suit how you fly, from a light glide to a firmer hold.
Program everything with T.A.R.G.E.T
The free T.A.R.G.E.T software on PC combines Thrustmaster devices so your PC sees them as a single USB device. You can program up to 256 buttons across the ecosystem and load or build profiles for each game.
The braille-style buttons are easy to find by feel, which helps in VR. Browse our HOTAS range for more setups.
Our expert take
"The T.16000M FCS HOTAS is the setup we point most new PC pilots towards when they want a proper stick and throttle without a big outlay. Magnetic sensors on the stick and a smooth sliding throttle cover combat jets, airliners and space sims well."
"The throttle is a single-lever design, so it is not a twin-engine quadrant, and the bundle is PC only. Add the TFRP pedals through the throttle's RJ12 port when you want proper rudder control. See our flight simulator controls for more options."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
