Thrustmaster markets the HOTAS Warthog as an "A-10C real life replica" of the aircraft's joystick, dual independent-lever throttle system and dual throttle control panel, officially licensed by the US Air Force. The set carries fifty-five fully programmable action buttons in total. The joystick runs on the maker's H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensor at 16-bit precision, and Thrustmaster cites metal construction across the joystick, throttles and bases. It is PC-only, programmed through the free T.A.R.G.E.T. software, and the maker lists compatibility with DCS, X-Plane 11/12, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and War Thunder.
Thrustmaster also currently sells a HOTAS Warthog MKII, which the maker describes with a 1:1-scale, all-metal Viper stick grip, nineteen stick buttons plus an eight-way hat, a redesigned base on anti-stiction ball bearings supporting up to 128 buttons and eight axes, the same H.E.A.R.T. sensor, and a detachable USB-C cable.
This record is an index entry, not a bench verdict: no bench score, binding coverage or pilot reports have been added. The 6 September 2026 sweep shows the Thrustmaster U.S. eShop asking $599.99 for the full system. The halves are sold separately there — $299.99 for the flight stick, $349.99 for the dual throttle — so a third-party listing near $300 is usually one half, not the pair.
