The Thrustmaster Warthog joystick has an easy to remove plate on the throttle and replace it with the supplied plate. Once I put this item in the post I will provide you a tracking number, but until that item arrives at your doors there is no more information I can provide or anything I can do about any delays.īy ordering you acknowledge this and no you cannot request a refund just because you think it "should" have been at your door by a certain date****Įasily upgrade a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS throttle completely replacing the default plate with original text with Elite Dangerous Controls.

Elite is perfectly playable with an Xbox controller or a mouse and keyboard, but once you've flown its ships with a proper stick and throttle setup (whether it's the Warthog or a vastly cheaper alternative like the excellent Saitek X52) it's damn near impossible to go back.***Before You Order Please note that due to COVID international mail is criminally slow at the moment, anywhere from 4-6 weeks. But despite this savings-obliterating barrier to entry, playing space simulator Elite Dangerous with it is an incredible experience. I was lucky enough to get one through work, so I'm aware I'm in a privileged position here. It's made almost entirely of metal, which makes pretty much every other flight stick-even the very best ones-feel like cheap toys in comparison.Ī lot of people understandably won't be able to justify the cost of a Warthog, which makes me feel a little weird about singing its praises. It doesn't feel like a gaming peripheral it feels like someone yanked the controls out of a real military aircraft and stuck a USB cable on them. But when you heave it out of the box and slam it on your desk, you realise why it has such an eye-watering price tag attached to it. This flight stick and throttle combo can cost up to, and occasionally beyond, $500. Thrustmaster's HOTAS Warthog is ridiculously, comically expensive.
