Turtle Beach HOTAS - Still "Almost Perfect", but better?

[@ElectricalInsanity]

I love seeing actual innovation like the programmable touchscreen and other small displays. If I were still in the market, this would have been very high on my list.

[@Kevlar-78]

Pretty wild. Nice review as always. Appreciate your honest take on the peripherals

[@Warlust007]

Awesome review (as usual). I've owned this HOTAS for about month and I entirely agree with everything you've said. This unit has more features than I can currently use, which I love, and it offers a lot of headroom for growth and opportunities. I really like this HOTAS and I think it is a great value!

[@TMP2064]

why only a month?

[@Warlust007]

@@TMP2064 I just purchased it about a month ago...I still own it and love it!

@@Warlust007 I just bought mine yesterday, and I'm glad I waited bc when it first came out it was $500 now I picked it up for $350

[@Zethez]

Thank you for another detailed product review.

[@markdayell61]

I just oredeerd mine from Amazon for $300 bucks. Looking forward to it's arrival! I hope that someone comes up with a Star Citizen profile for it soon :-) Thanks for the review!

[@alphastratus6623]

For Airliner some form of feedback for the throttles would be very useful, especially when it changes automatically by the selected aircraft. A vibration motor is a good start, we will see what the software will do in the future. The games need the communication interface to the driver first...

[@Lyx21]

Extremely late, but if you don't already know, Moza released a Force Feedback Stick. It's the AB9, but lacks a lot of support.

[@iflanzy]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@danielekirylo]

Wow nice Hotas and great review.

[@mcslashvideos]

I've enjoyed mine for five months now, much better build than x-52 or 56, but it is twice the price. (edited because it turns out the one problem I reported was operator error) Highly recommend. Otherwise, fun HOTAS.

[@Sin-INC]

Wow I been waiting for this for ages

[@claudedumont8475]

Thank you for the presentation. Do you know if there are any programs available that are ready to be used with this kit for Fliht Simulator? (Merci pour la présentation, savez-vous s'il existe actuellement des programmations déjà prêtes à être utilisé avec ce kit pour Fliht Simulator)

[@jinchoung]

I returned mine because the yaw was JUMPY with the value getting stuck then maxing out. but good to see that they allow you to change the keybinds on the touchscreen - previously, they were fixed per region of page and for each page which was tremendously lame. also found the stick ridiculously stiff and it just didn't have enough buttons on the stick for DCS. I'd need at least an SCS, TDC and trim but there just aren't enough inputs and not really great for dcs.

[@screamingiraffe]

Anyone have a SC profile for the Flightdeck or know how to get the throttle to work in SC?

[@snaggletoof1927]

This looks to be a great set up. I like how customizable it is. The only things that would hold me back are the price and the fear that I'd be happier with a dual stick set up. Thanks for the review, N00b!

[@arnoldnym2466]

Same, it's so versatile but ultimately playing SC requires a dual stick setup - IMO.

[@RandomRoger]

But how well does it work with Star Citizen?

[@nerdquake]

Is the joystick base a cup-and-ball style, or some other kind of stick?

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

Yes, and plastic

[@Frankenllama]

new plastics are not that bad as in previous years. Things like Vesconite are high quality and durable.

[@JasonMoon111]

324€ now in Turtle Beach european store. Including postage. Insane value if you compare features.

[@MetaRaxx]

i just got mine, never had a hotas b4 so i cant wait to actually fly with that and not a controller

[@nathanforrester5140]

I do like the touch screen. I have a vkb and use game glass on my phone to do much the same. It works really well for me. I would still recommend VKB over this stick.

[@makinawake9178]

I was going to watch the whole video to see if you mention but i have eliminated this hotas from my possible choice as it is ball and cup. Otherwise the features are ok although the touchscreens are so laggy they would probably drive me nuts anyway. Price isnt bad for what you get but i want to be able to resell in time and i cant see it lasting.

[@tim-3705]

Are you planning to make a video about the new Virpil flanker grip that is coming out?

[@Frankenllama]

i would love to get one, but it's not available in my country. I could import one from Amazon, but the import duties are like 1/3 of what the device costs

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

Not worth it. There must be another solution.

[@Frankenllama]

@@NOOBIFIER1337 yeah, the Logitec X-56, which is worse

[@BCSchmerker]

+BrianMP5T *Turtle Beach did adjustments from user feedback, thus the HOTAS 2.0.*

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

Yes I said that in the video

[@jstones9872]

wish they would make a throttle group and stick without all those adjustable settings and assignments that was just well tuned for the casual xbox x users. Honestly this video makes it sound very very intimidating to set up and us casual users really just want a super solid product out of the box without the uneeded do dads.

[@JasonMoon111]

I don't see a problem. There are ton of simple controllers for you. But only one for advanced users, this.

[@mightylink65]

This thing has so many buttons I think it could of done without the 2 touchscreens to greatly reduce the cost. This could of been the best choice on the market if it was around the $300 range finally putting a nail into those awful logitech sticks that people wont stop buying because they're the only sub $300 option.

[@KokaneePacificRailway]

How is it in Star Citizen ? currently I'm running t16000's and they are okay.

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

I mean, in general a HOTAS is fine and this is a fine HOTAS. If that makes sense

[@blazemonger1]

I actually went to a dual VelocityOne stick setup from T16K and it's a massive improvement for me.

[@sneakyfildy]

HOTAS for SC is not the most optimal setup

[@kaywhy1337]
