Thrustmaster T1600 Thoughts

[RichardDarkwood]

Has anyone on here used this joystick/pedals combo?

[The Fugitive]

Ive used the joystick. From a control point of view the stick is very acurate. It has a low button count compared to other sticks but performs very well for one of the cheaper sticks.

I've had the stick for several years. There's quite many of those used by the Finnish community and everyone seems to like them.  As Fugi said, it's very accurate. The throttle has also been liked by those I know owning one. As for the number of buttons on the stick, there's a dozen of them in the base and four plus a hat on the stick. That's more than on a Logitech, then again half of the base buttons are below the stick stirring hand. I've got a modified throttle with more buttons than I can remember to use and the buttons on the base of the stick are unassigned.

For the price at least the stick is superior and the throttle worth the price as well as the pedals. Of course there's arguments against each of those but the comparison is usually against items with a duplicate price tag. There was a thread about the pedals where one guy said that they're too narrow and another said that the width was perfect as it was similar to the rally pedals.

Thanks for the information

I created another thread about my problems with an X-52 stick and was looking at getting something with better performance and resolution. Do you think I can pair this stick with my X-52 throttle?

The Warthog and the X-56 look attractive but I don't want to spend the money if I don't have to. For the price of those I'd rather save up to get something like a Virpil.

You can pair any stick and other controller. As long as Windows can see them AH can use them. I've got a T16000.m for stick and a TM TopGun Afterburner II (currently known as T-flight Hotas) for throttle. It's all about mapping a function to a certain controller.

T16000 is a decent stick for the money..just dont expect it to last for long (specifically the twist) if you are a heavy user.

A good friend that I use to play aces with had a friend that just shipped the T16000 joystick, throttle and pedals for the cost of shipping from California. Roughly $51.00

Planning on playing aces and DCS 2.5 and wanted to make sure it would do the job.

Good deal! Looking forward to your report. If I can't fix my damn X-52 I'm awfully tempted to pick up that stick.

I hope it works well. From the video reviews I watched on YouTube the T16000 has a lot of hat switches and buttons. My main joystick prior was a Microsoft sidewinder pro.
