Overview
Not a plastic entry joystick, the Thrustmaster Warthog is an all metal replica of a real attack jet's stick, dual throttle and control panel. Hall Effect magnetic sensors read the stick without gimbals, and every button is programmable.
Realistic metal controls, a split throttle and dozens of programmable buttons give flight sim fans a true cockpit feel. The set is heavy and needs desk space or a cockpit mount, and the bundled pedals are not described.
Who it's for
Dedicated simmers flying study level aircraft get authentic controls with heavy metal build. Casual gamers and anyone short on desk space will find it excessive.
Pros and cons
- All metal construction
- Split dual throttle
- Hall Effect magnetic sensors
- Many programmable buttons
- Very heavy set
- Rudder pedal details missing
- Stiff realistic trigger pressure
- Large desk footprint
Performance notes
Precision comes from the magnetic Hall Effect sensors, which read stick position without contact and avoid wear from gimbals. Button and trigger pressure matches a real aircraft, so actions feel firm. The weight of the bases holds the controls in place during hard maneuvers.
