Featuring a 5 coil spring system for smooth, linear tension and 19 programmable buttons, it delivers unmatched precision with Hall Effect magnetic sensors and upgradeable USB firmware. Designed for both desk and cockpit use, this 6 kg weighted controller offers professional-grade realism and customization, making it the top choice for serious flight sim enthusiasts. ## Description From the manufacturer Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick The HOTAS WARTHOG USB dual-throttle joystick is the result of an intense collaboration between Thrustmaster's development teams and members of the "simmer" community. Exchanges and studies were carried out constantly throughout the product's development phase, in order to create a joystick which meets the most specific and precise requirements of the experts. The result is the HOTAS WARTHOG: a replica set of the joystick, dual throttle system and dual throttle control panel of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft. Weighing in at more than 14 lbs and using metal for the joystick, throttle handles, and bases, the HOTAS WARTHOG joystick is physically imposing. When you take into account the 55 fully programmable action buttons and 2 four-direction hat switches, each with a built-in push button (the first joystick in the world to incorporate such a feature), it becomes clear that the HOTAS WARTHOG is in a class of its own. The Most Precise and Feature-Filled Joystick You Can Get The joystick features 19 action buttons, along with a "Point Of View" hat. It provides extreme precision, thanks to the H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRateTechnology magnetic sensor system it employs: 16-bit precision (65536 x 65536 values), with no gimbals (cardan joints). What's more, pressing on the joystick's buttons and triggers requires pressure identical to that required in an actual airplane – a true first in the world of joysticks. Particular attention has been paid to freedom of use for simmers, with the joystick's handle being detachable, and its base being detachable as well (allowing you to install the joystick in a cockpit). Pull and Push Throttle System with Disengageable Afterburner The throttle component has also been very carefully designed, with a dual throttle system allowing for independent control of 2 motors: a locking system lets the user either attaches the 2 throttles together, or else keeps them independent of one another. The magnetic sensor technology used for the throttles (14-bit resolution, with 16384 values on each throttle) provides unrivaled precision. Switching to the Idle and Afterburner detents is carried out via a Pull and Push system, for even greater realism. The Afterburner detent is disengageable, allowing users to perfectly adapt the throttle control to the type of airplane they are piloting. The throttles feature a total of 17 action buttons, a "Point Of View" hat and a "mouse hat / slew control". Control Panel with 5 Programmable LEDs The product's final mechanical component, the control panel, provides an extensive number and variety of controls. It includes a friction wheel, allowing users to manually adjust the resistance of the throttles according to their own taste. It also features backlighting for functions, which users will certainly appreciate for night flights; the 5 programmable LEDs are also a plus for use in dark or low-light conditions. The base includes a "trim wheel" and 15 action buttons, including numerous push buttons with resistance identical to that on a real airplane and industrial metal switches (2 or 3 positions) with highly realistic pressure. Thrustmaster expert flying ecosystem These products are part of a range of flight simulation peripherals that can be used in conjunction with one another: a complete ecosystem featuring the HotasWarthog, TFRP rudder pedals and MFD (Multi-Functional Display) cockpit panels. These elements are also compatible with the T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software. T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software** on PC The HOTAS WARTHOG joystick's deadly weapon is known as T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). T.A.R.G.E.T is a software suite allowing users to test, configure and program Thrustmaster controllers. In this way, T.A.R.G.E.T allows for total interaction between different Thrustmaster USB controllers, with simplified configurations in simulators, and the use of a single preset for all controllers, rather than having to use as many different presets as controllers. Finally, T.A.R.G.E.T includes built-in presets for well-known games (both recent and older titles), and lets users create new presets too. ## Features - Detachable handle, crafted entirely of metal - Realistic pressure on buttons and trigger - Replica shape of the A-10C flight stick - Detachable metal plate for desk- or cockpit-style use - USB connector and upgradeable firmware - 5 coil spring system: For tension that is firm, linear, smooth and without any dead zones ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00371R8P4 | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,313 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #1,773 in Computer Game Accessories | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,532) | | Generic Name | controller | | Importer | SAMEO DISTRIBUTION (INDIA) PVT.LTD., MUMBAI - 400011 | | Included Components | 1 Joystick | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 46 x 25 x 32 Centimeters | | Item Weight | 6 kg | | Item model number | 2960720 | | Language | English, French, Italian | | Manufacturer | THRUSTMASTER, Thrustmaster | | Net Quantity | 1 Count | | Packer | THRUSTMASTER | | Product Dimensions | 46 x 25 x 32 cm; 6 kg | | Rated | Not PEGI rated | | Release date | 11 June 2013 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Thrustmaster - **Compatible Devices:** PC - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Controller Type:** Flight Stick - **Model Name:** Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog (Windows) ## Images ![Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Flight Stick Joystick - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qFBA4ZGAL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Flight Stick Joystick - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71E5q+1NUJL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Flight Stick Joystick - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oQvyJJAvL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Flight Stick Joystick - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VB+12GdtL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Flight Stick Joystick - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bPEW3rCdL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it have force feedback?** A: yes **Q: are there 2 components like shown in the picture? - joystick and throttle in box OR only stick as mentioned in description????** A: Yes **Q: Does it include both the flight stick and Dual thrust levers(throttles) or only the flight stick?** A: Both **Q: Does it include both the flight stick and Dual thrust levers(throttles) or only the flight stick?** A: Both ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***L on 16 July 2018* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***B on 7 August 2019* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***A on 2 January 2016* ## Frequently Bought Together - Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick, Throttle and Control Panel for Flight Simulation, Official Replica of the U.S Air Force A-10C Aircraft (Compatible with PC) - Thrustmaster TFRP Rudder Pedals for Flight Simulators - Meza Mount-Set of 2 Hotas Desk Mount for The Flight Sim Joystick Mount Compatible with Thrustmaster Warthog/WinWing Orion 2,Adjustable height and position Hotas Mount,Flight Joystick Mount --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/79020133-thrustmaster-hotas-warthog-flight-stick-joystick](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/79020133-thrustmaster-hotas-warthog-flight-stick-joystick) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
