Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition — Flight Joystick

The Ultimate Airbus Sidestick — Now on Xbox. Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition.

The Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition is the evolved, next-generation version of Thrustmaster's legendary TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition — now fully compatible with Xbox Series X|S as well as PC. It's a 1:1 scale ergonomic replica of the iconic Airbus A320/A320neo sidestick, officially licensed by both Airbus and Microsoft Xbox, and designed to be the most immersive and precise civil aviation joystick ever made for console and PC. The Sidestick X improves on its predecessor with a redesigned base for enhanced stability, new tact switch buttons, an upgraded throttle, and the all-new Ecosystem Hub for one-cable connectivity across your entire TCA Airbus setup.

Why the TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition?

• Officially Licensed by Airbus and Microsoft Xbox: The TCA Sidestick X carries dual official licensing from Airbus and Xbox — delivering the authentic A320/A320neo sidestick look, feel, and dimensions, with full native Xbox Series X|S recognition.

• Redesigned Base (Upgraded from Original TCA Sidestick): Strengthened and redesigned base provides significantly better stability on desk setups — more solid, more planted, more realistic.

• New Ecosystem Hub: Revolutionary connectivity feature built into the sidestick base — connect your TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition AND TFRP rudder pedals through a single USB cable to PC or Xbox. No extra USB hubs needed.

• New Tact Switch Buttons: All action buttons use new tactile tact switch technology — more responsive, clearer activation feel, better durability compared to standard microswitches.

• 4 Swappable Joystick Head Button Modules: Choose between 4 interchangeable head configurations before every flight — captain (left seat), co-pilot (right seat), center position, or narrow aircraft layout. Match your setup to the aircraft type.

• 14 Remappable Action Buttons: All action buttons are fully remappable — including Xbox-native controls (Guide, View, Menu, Share). Plus 1 virtual button on the throttle (PC only) = 15 total on PC.

• Enhanced Built-In Throttle with Thrust Reverser: Upgraded throttle lever on the base for more comfort and reliability — with a built-in thrust reverser mechanism for realistic airliner landing procedures. A unique feature exclusive to airliners.

• Lockable Twist Rudder: Rotate the sidestick handle for rudder input — lock it in neutral for commercial airliner flying (with dedicated pedals) or unlock for combined rudder control.

• H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology: Contactless magnetic sensors on all main axes — no potentiometers, no wear, no drift, unlimited lifespan with optimal precision forever.

• 4 Independent Axes: X/roll, Y/pitch, twist/rudder, and throttle — complete civil aviation joystick axis set.

• 3.5mm Headset Jack: On the sidestick base — plug in a headset for ATC communication audio during your flights.

• Fully Ambidextrous: Place the sidestick on the left, right, or center — works equally for captain and co-pilot positions.

• TARGET Software Compatible: Advanced custom profile creation and sharing with Thrustmaster's free T.A.R.G.E.T software.

• Includes 1 Month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: Includes 1 month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate — including Xbox Live Gold, 100+ games, and EA Play membership. Jump straight into Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox.
