Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus X Edition (Xbox & PC)

The Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus X Edition is an officially licensed, 1:1 scale ergonomic replica of the Airbus sidestick, engineered for Xbox Series X|S and PC. As an evolution of the original TCA Sidestick, the "X" edition serves as a centralized hub for the Thrustmaster flight ecosystem. It features H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensors for 16-bit precision and a modular button layout that supports both Captain and Co-pilot configurations. The integrated Xbox interface provides native navigation for Microsoft Flight Simulator, while the base includes expanded connectivity for secondary peripherals. Modular Design & Ergonomics Ambidextrous Architecture: Includes 4 swappable joystick head button modules, allowing the stick to be configured for left-hand (Captain), right-hand (Co-pilot), or dual-stick setups.
