Looks well made... has weight to it, not cheap. Haven't assigned all the buttons yet, which is great...most default to some function in StarCitizen space game anyway. I use the Sol-R1 as a left flight stick. If I need to replace my right stick (VBK) I'd buy another one of these Thrustmaster Sol-R1 units. You can buy a pair under model name Sol-R2. Read more

Nice joysticks with okay control . Not the best but better than the 16000 Read more

These were very easy to get setup and started with. The number and variety of buttons and switches makes them adaptable to pretty much any game, but I'm primarily using them for Star Citizen. The initial quality impression is very high. They are heavy bases with sturdy plastic grips and a metal connection. The spring tension feels great and very linear. They have a pretty far 'throw' in X and Y compared to other sticks I've tried. The Z twist feels comfortable to get from +/-100% without wrist fatigue and still gives pretty fine control. I use twist for forward/aft thrust and roll and have no issues maintaining precise control. The buttons on the grips are spaced out quite a bit - maybe even too far if you have smaller hands - but I find everything reachable without changing grip position. The buttons and encoders on the bases are where the SOL-R system really separates itself. They are DJ quality button pads and so satisfying to use. Not mushy, no mishits on corners or double presses. The encoders can be set to behave as buttons or as an axis in the software, which helps adapt to different games or needs. The bases are sturdy and I do not find the included extenders necessary to keep them stable on my desk. The individually addressable RGBs on the buttons are also nice to have although I'm only using them decoratively for now. I'll report back if I have any durability issues, but so far so good.

Excellent flight stick! Great configuration capabilities and smooth action. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a flight stick Read more

I've been using these for a little over a week now in Star Citizen. They have been great so far. It is almost overwhelming the amount of usable buttons. The sticks feel a lot more solid than the older T16000Ms, and with the hall effect sensors for X Y and Z axes, hopefully no more stick drift like the T16000Ms. I can't say how they stack up against other sticks on the market since I've only used the T16000Ms, but I'm enjoying them. On YouTube, TheNOOBIFIER1337 has a great in depth review. Read more
