The Thrustmaster HOTAS Magnetic Base is a standalone metal base for building a modular flight control system on PC, with H.E.A.R.T. (Hall Effect AccuRate Technology) magnetic technology and compatibility with Thrustmaster's main add-on grips.
Its contactless 3D magnetic sensors (Hall effect) deliver 16-bit resolution per axis (65,536 x 65,536 values) and precision that lasts over time. A 5 helical spring system provides firm, progressive tension with no dead zones, and its metal base of over 2 kg ensures stability even without anchoring. It is compatible with T.A.R.G.E.T. software to create advanced profiles.
