The Thrustmaster Sol-R 1 Flightstick is a flight and space simulation joystick for PC with 44 assignable actions and X, Y and Z axes using 16-bit H.E.A.R.T. magnetic sensors, aimed at space sim pilots who want drift-free precision.
It combines a detachable ambidextrous grip with a base featuring a central throttle: 21 buttons on the grip and 23 controls on the base. Being modular, the Sol-R grip can be mounted on an AVA base, and the Sol-R base accepts the Viper and F/A-18C Hornet grips, both part of the Thrustmaster FlightSim ecosystem.
