Tango Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Hi, I'm considering the Thrustmaster T.16000M stick as it has Z-axis for rudder, which would be great for the Ka-50. Does anyone have this stick? Any problems with the buttons? I keep reading that this seems to be the only downside to the product (people say they feel flimsy/not robust). I have the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, so expecting it to be quite different considering it is only £30, but if there are no issues, I'll order one! Best regards, Tango.
cichlidfan Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I have one and though I have not used it in a while, I thought it had a pretty good feel for a cheap stick. The lack of buttons and/or programmability might be an issue but otherwise it should do the job.

It can be programmed via the TARGET software, if you weren't aware, so have shift functions etc... :) Best regards, Tango. 1

Tango Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 Bucic: It is a buy/no buy scenario - I'm not looking at anything else. I can't find anything about button failure, so it is a BUY. Thanks for the link! Best regards, Tango.

Hmmm, might have to play with that for another machine (adding to the project list).

Tango Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) @Bucic: No probs! Any and all feedback is useful! @ycodryn: Thanks for the feedback! "Real" owners of the stick (i.e. not reviews/anon comments ;) ) have no probs so that is great! Best regards, Tango. Edited November 20, 2011 by Tango
