Thunderstick GRS Flight Yoke

Having loved the Star Wars vector arcade games since the 80s, i’ve never quite managed to get the same experience playing MAME versions with an arcade stick. The GRS flight yoke changes that… it’s a reassuringly heavy unit, which performs beautifully, to recreate the “arcade feel” of the original. So much, in fact, that I plan to construct a sit-in cabinet solely for the Star Wars games. USB plug and play allowed me to be playing immediately. Also works with lots of other games - Outrun, Afterburner, Marble Madness, Paperboy - Any game that requires an analogue control.

Quality solid very well made as good if not better than the original.

Bought this for project, quick test analogue axis feel good, the actual buttons (face and triggers) feel pretty bad, triggers feel very cheap/thin with annoying loud click, very slow if needing quick response. The face buttons on each grip are just mini sticks which just push down, poor implementation and just feel weird, should of used regular controller face buttons. This whole controller could do with a complete overhaul, more buttons and better quality buttons, analogue triggers and also needs a POV Hat (more than enough room), I am told by GRS they are working on an add on, but time would tell, should just redesign from group up and should also not pre apply the face sticker but include seperate as optional as its quite ugly and tacky.

First impressions - its build like a tank. Played the 1983 starwars on mame and the yoke handles like a dream. We're actually building the cockpit cabinet where this is going to truly be the centre piece for the whole project. Very happy with the control. Thanks.

Un peu cher mais indispensable pour jouer comme dans les vrais borne d'arcade. Attention il faudra vous fabriquer votre support pour pouvoir jouer ou le commander....dur a trouvé .le calibrage est compliqué aussi mais pas impossible j'ai galéré et trouvé l'astuce sur l'émulateur Mame. Allez dans ( properties )puis Dans ( contrôler) mettre le joystick deadzone a zéro.... Il est par défaut a 0.30 c'est très important.

Glen is the man, knocked it out of the park with the flight yoke. This is a must have product for Star Wars A1up cabs, MAME cabs and ALU cabs, And its easy to install.

Installed this yoke controller onto my custom build arcade PC cabinet and the controller worked out of the box using a USB connection. Simple to install and instructions are easy to understand. It can be used as an analog joystick or as a mouse. It also has a power button to power it off if you plan to use other controllers with your gaming rig to avoid hardware conflicts. Word of caution: It is built like a tank and definitely heavier than the average joystick. The construction is top-notch.

It's a well made, solid yoke with a lot of weight. The buttons are much clickier than I remember the arcade being, and the X-axis seems a good deal stiffer than the Y-axis, though I can't remember how this compares to the arcade yoke. Overall, it's a great controller, especially for the price. I'm using it with USB, which is the only cable I use - it's powered from that. At first, there was a dead zone in the X-axis, but I found I could adjust that in the .ini setting for that program, and it was fully responsive. I also like the fact that the internals are digital, rather than analog potentiometers, so it should last a long time. It's made to drop into a Star Wars vector arcade machine, I believe, so I had to custom make a stand and clamp it to the desk, which works well. Highly recommended!
