I recently invested in a steering wheel/pedal set and quickly had issues when it came to looking around. I have a wired keyboard and mouse so moving those wasn't an option. I also like to swap between games so I didn't want to mess up my setup for other games. I was eyeing the Farmstick for a while and seeing it had an analog stick for looking around sealed the deal for me. I bought the Farmstick about 2 weeks ago and cannot get enough of it. It solved my issue with looking around while driving and then some. The buttons feel quality and planned out. The joystick itself feels high quality and fits in the hand perfect. The amount of buttons is great and I can do 95% of what I need from just the Farmstick. Setup was a breeze with Farming Simulator 25 automatically picked up on it and assigning the keybinds. My favorite part of the Farmstick is it works for more than just Farming Simulator. I quickly went into American Truck Simulator and after messing with the settings and setting up keybinds, it feels like a whole new game. Particularly because I enabled manual shifting and use the gear up and down switch to change gears. I also set it up to use as a regular joystick in Arma 3 for flying planes and helicopters. Again, setting up the keybinds was quick and easy. I did come into problems in Arma Reforger, so I still need to mess with that. The only con I have with the Farmstick is the base is massive. I hoped it would fit on the bracket for a shifter that came with my steering wheel stand, but it's too large and the screw holes are in a weird orientation. I had to settle with setting up a short nightstand by my desk. Overall, I highly recommend getting the Farmstick. It changed not only Farming Simulator, but many other games I play too. Read more
Makes sim games much more enjoyable, easy to map buttons. Feels solid and well made. No issues over the last month or so of normal use Read more
This works (mostly) on my Xbox Series X. I'm using it with a T128 wheel and it works pretty well. But I was surprised to find that I cannot connect the Farmstick directly to the wheel, which mains I had to run two wires to my Xbox. In my case, this means two 40' cables to make the run. I tried several USB Hub options (powered and not) and nothing worked for both the wheel and the farm stick. I ended up buying two cables which are thin enough to fit in the cable management system I got a while back. I'm not able to use the wheel and Farmstick for Farming Simulator 25. The wheel and stick work well together, but i'd love to get some more support in the game (like making the right/left buttons work more than a few times in the menus.

I have been using the Logitech/Saitek Farming Simulator side panel since 2017, and over the last few months the buttons have been getting tired - sometimes resulting in no action and other times double action. I needed a replacement - and on the whole I would recommend the side panel (not the wheel!), though I was not plug and play with the later versions of Farming Simulator. But we're not reviewing the side panel here. I was on the hunt for a replacement, and of the few that are available today, I considered anything over the cost of the Logitech Side Panel a bit too pricey. The Thrustmaster met this requirement, and looked to be a good quality device. I had seen a couple of reviews on YouTube posted back in November, but it was sold out until March of this year.. but I was willing to wait. The device quality is good and I expect it to serve me well for another 7 years of Farming. All it took was to plug the device in (standard USB connection), and start up the game, set it up as a controller in the Game Options menu, and it was all set to go. It's taken me a while to get used to the configuration, and I've taken to printing out the parts of the manual which show the joystick diagram with the labelled button numbers. Those on the joystick have pictures, but the in-game help panel shows them all as numbers. The joystick gives very fine control when using Front Loader/Telehandler arms (something I was concerned about). I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it for anybody looking for a control stick for Farming Simulator. Read more
Works great for immersion, took a minute to memorize all the button functions. I use in farming simulator 25 Read more
Easy to install Read more
Great quality. Stick can be used for more than just farming simulator. Buttons can be mapped for different pieces of equipment and to be able to do most functions with vehicles. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I bought 2 of these to play farming simulator, they worked ok, not great for about a month (don't game that often) then the mini "Pov" thumb joystick and the twisting function on my right one started doing whatever it wanted, contacted ThrustMaster but they were not very helpful just sent me steps top recalibrate it which didn't work and I've been so frustrated with it I didn't even touch them for 6 months decided I would try again but no new updates to the drivers, recalibration wouldn't work and no more information on the internet helped me. if it weren't for these problems I would love these joysticks, but this has really ruined my gaming experience especially since I have limited time to play and have spent more time researching this issue than actually playing. I've attached a video of the parameters spazzing out also so it is not the game Read more
