Taking control of a spaceship hurtling through space or a fighter aircraft flying through the skies is an obvious draw in the world of video games. Immersion is essential for fans of space and air combat simulation games to fully enjoy the exhilaration of these digital journeys. Let me introduce you to the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick Universal Simulation Controller, a gadget that will blow your mind while you play games.

Overview:

The Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & Windows 10 & 11 PCs equips you with immersive, accurate controls for navigating air and space flight simulation & combat games on Xbox and PC. High resolution non-contact sensors provide precise response and extended longevity to the main stick controls, while throttle and flap levers control main engine power and make for quick adjustment of secondary control surfaces. Plus, the levers can be customized with swappable throttle heads to suit the aircraft you are flying. Precision detents at the minimum and maximum positions allow activation of full reverse thrust at minimum, and afterburner, boost or Take Off/Go Around thrust at maximum.

An OLED Flight Management Display makes for easy adjustments to control profiles, trim wheel input mode, rudder lock and more.
