Its lacking that satisfying weight to keep itself planted, but otherwise, its a stellar mid-budget option.
One-minute review
Flight sim peripherals are expensive.
Somebody in the headset-strewn corridors of Turtle Beach HQ can pat themselves on the back for that one.
For everyone else, its a steal at this price point.
But there are inputs hidden all over this thing.
You just keep finding them.
The textured metal ring around the base of the flightstick?
You twist it to register an input.
On the stick itself?
Not only two hat switches, a trigger, buttons, and a scroller, but also anOLEDdisplay.
Honestly, its like a 2000s rapper and a reality show production team got their hands on this thing.
Its just missing the aquarium.
The joystick itself feels beautifully smooth across its axes, and its designed with a lot of stiffness.
Thats great in some, but not all, scenarios.
you might counteract it with an increased deadzone.
A look that Im onboard with, if youll excuse the fantastic aviation pun.
What matters is that theres a decent starting point for everyone.
This is such a time saver.
Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to see some more profiles added in the future.
PC and Xbox compatibility is handled pretty seamlessly, too.
It was recognized and functional without any hassle.
Should you buy the Turtle Beach VelocityOne flightstick?
Your USB ports thank you in advance.
