No more expensive than a gamepad, the T.Flight Stick X (€40) is aimed at PC and PS3 players looking for an affordable yet complete joystick. It remains to be seen whether it offers as good a quality/price ratio as the surprising T.16000M, sold for €20 more.
A variation of the T.Flight Hotas X without a real throttle, the T.Flight Stick X also suffers from a lack of precision, in addition to sporting a small integrated joystick that is even less obvious to handle.
Strong points
- Good handling and stability.
- Handle tension adjustment.
- Mapping of commands on the joystick with recording in internal memory.
Weak points
- Big general lack of precision.
- Small integrated throttle that catches.
- Few buttons on the joystick.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
