Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick — Military Flight Joystick

Master the Skies with the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog

The Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog is the gold standard in PC flight simulation hardware. An officially licensed, full-metal replica of the U.S. Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft controls, it brings military-grade precision and authenticity to your desk. Built for serious simmers — whether you fly DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator, or Star Citizen — the Warthog delivers unmatched accuracy and durability with its groundbreaking H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology.

Why the HOTAS Warthog?

• Official U.S. Air Force A-10C Replica: Full-metal construction with realistic button pressure and feel — built to match the real aircraft's controls.

• H.E.A.R.T Magnetic Technology: 3D Hall Effect sensors with 16-bit precision (65,536 × 65,536 values) — no gimbal wear, no drift, unlimited lifespan.

• 55 Programmable Buttons Total: Across joystick, dual throttle, and control panel — one of the most button-rich HOTAS setups available.

• Dual Independent Throttle: Lock together or control independently for dual-engine aircraft. Adjustable friction system with no dead zones.

• Pull & Push Afterburner Detent: Realistic IDLE and disengageable AFTERBURNER with genuine pull/push mechanism.

• Detachable Metal Handle: Mount on desk or bolt into a custom cockpit simulator — the metal base plate detaches for both setups.

• Backlit Control Panel: 5 programmable LEDs + 15 action buttons + TRIM wheel — for realistic low-light cockpit immersion.

• Weighted & Ultra-Stable: Joystick base weighs over 3 kg, throttle base over 3 kg — zero movement during aggressive maneuvers.

• Upgradeable Firmware: Future-proof with software updates and full TARGET (Thrustmaster Advanced Programming Graphical Editor) compatibility.
