Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick Universal Simulation Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, & PC

Excellent starting point for an Xbox user wanting to get the most from Microsoft Flight Simulator. It's also the building block for the later addition of rudder pedals.

At first when reading others reviews I was quick to want to return it before I even got it but since using it I love this flight stick Best thing I ever bought

So far its a very good joystick, if only the spring tension wasn't so stiff. However, made use of the mounting points and ordered some sution cups with M5 screws and now it sits very securely on my desk. Only play Elite Dangerous but really need a seperate throttle. After two other manufacturers hotas systems failed I was going to go with VKB untill Turtle Beach came out with this. On a minus point there is some slight stick drift which requires adjustment to the dead zone in the game settings. How about releasing a throttle Trurtle Beach with hats and mini joystick, Elite needs lots of buttons.

The movement of the stick is smooth with a decent tension from the spring. Moving across left to right/up down has next to no bump as you reach the spring centre. The buttons are superb and a much better quality than reviews have stated. Both levers are decent, if not world class. For me, the slightly heavier spring tension compared to Saitek sticks is perfect.......but only if you get a desk mount or bolt it because the stick is light. When mounted, the smooth movement with a slightly heavier spring is a complete joy and probably the best stick movement/control out of the few Saiteks and Warthog sticks I've used

Lovely piece of kit and so much better than using a controller. It feels weighty enough to stay planted on whatever surface you place it on and has a nice amount of resistance in the stick itself. But.....the lack of instructions is mind-boggling. Especially for the settings menu. There is a setting for the trim wheel which just features a bunch of five-figure numbers and nowhere does it tell you what the heck that is for! We aren't all pilots who might already know such things :) But otherwise, this is really lovely and definitely feels like a step up from the Xbox Hotas flight stick. Lots of customisation options for the numerous buttons. I just wish Turtle Beach would have designed the app so that users could share profiles. It would make life so much easier :)

As a Flight Stick it worked very well with no issues in flying and good build quality. I had a few problems with the touching pad as not responsive. The levers on it are a bit too small even for my hands so if any changes in a future product those levers neede to be just a bit bigger. Touching sensor as well needs to be super responsive.

Impressed with the build quality and overall feel of the controls. My only reservation is to do with trying to remap some of the buttons using my X Box Series S. Not able to apply & save in some cases. Would recommend as being good value at this price level.

I purchased the flightstick as I wasn't happy with how the yoke worked on the xbox. The flightstick is kind of in the same camp. It's far too awkward to navigate the menus using any of the controls on the stick. The touchpad is pointless. So, you have to navigate using a control pad, but quite often something on the stick overrides the control pad so each time you get to a new window the cursor drags itself to the lower corner, or when on the world map it rotates the map and sometimes you can't stop it. Ideally I'd prefer the pov hat on the stick to control the cursor, but this doesn't appear to be achievable. Hopefully these things will be cured after an update, but the problems were the same on the yoke so I don't hold much hope.

USBC socket is faulty and the "touchscreen" doesn't work. Stiff controls make navigation of Xbox menus impossible. Weight of product is completely wrong. When you push forward or back on the stick the base moves around. No way of clamping to desk out the box . They do supply 3 screw's do they expect me to drill holes in an expensive dining room table? Madness.
