Dual joystick HOSAS setup for maximum immersion
The Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS space sim duo joysticks allow you to pilot spacecraft using both hands simultaneously.
This HOSAS (Hands On Stick And Stick) configuration provides greater control over movement, thrust, and targeting, giving you a competitive edge in space simulation titles.
Each joystick is fully ambidextrous, making it easy to configure for left or right-hand use with interchangeable components.
This setup delivers a more natural and immersive flying experience, especially in titles like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous.
Precise H.E.A.R.T technology
Powered by Thrustmaster’s H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology), these joysticks use contactless magnetic sensors to deliver exceptional precision and durability.
This technology provides up to 16,000 x 16,000 resolution values, ensuring every movement is smooth, accurate, and consistent over time.
Unlike traditional potentiometer-based systems, there’s no wear and tear, meaning long-lasting performance without loss of accuracy.
Combined with a smooth helical spring mechanism, the sticks offer firm yet fluid resistance for precise manoeuvres during high-intensity gameplay.
Advanced Customisation with T.A.R.G.E.T Software
Unlock the full potential of your setup with Thrustmaster’s T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software.
This powerful tool allows you to create custom profiles, map controls, and combine multiple Thrustmaster devices into a single unified controller.
With support for up to 256 programmable inputs, you can tailor your configuration to suit any game or playstyle.
Whether you're optimising for combat, exploration, or simulation realism, T.A.R.G.E.T gives you the flexibility to fine-tune every aspect of your controls.
