I bought the 3D Pro a few years ago and just got hte FCS last December. The main difference is the fluidity of movement from one axial direction to the other. While it may not sound as important, it made a big difference for me in-game. Of course there are more buttons (the 3D Pro has 6 buttons on the left on its base while the FCS has 6 on each side of the base). But in terms of functionality, I'd have to say that the FCS is more comfortable. Also if you're one who does not like the "thumb" rest, you can remove it and replace it with one of the FCS's non-thumb grip which is instead, in-line with the actual stick. This is provided in the box as well. In conclusion, I'd have to say that the FCS would be a good choice. I don't regret my 3D Pro purchase, but if it stopped working, I'd get a second FCS immediately. But for now, the only reason why I'm not getting a 2nd FCS is that the 3D Pro works great still, but does not feel as comfortable as my FCS. Hope I answered well and wasn't sounding like a Thrustmaster advertiser LOL. **Q: Is this the model that was developed with Frontier for Elite Dangerous?** A: Yes, also Elite Dangerous has a built-in profile to get you started. http://www.thrustmaster.com/sites/all/modules/imagemanager/files/T16000FCS/Mapping-stationT16000MHotas.jpg You can work from the default settings to reassign buttons to your preferences. **Q: How long is the cord between the throttle and flight stick?** A: There is no cord between them. The each have their own USB cord. And if you have a game that needs then to look like one device, the TARGET software can do that. **Q: Is this good for Elite Dangerous?** A: I have used this HOTAS with Elite Dangerous for SEVERAL Years and have had NO issues with it. It 's WONDERFUL! But of course I use it along with mouse and keyboard a lot. The POV switch for your index finger on the throttle is a great way to map thrusters for slow maneuvering around a landing site or for asteroid mining. (Although as an old "Descent 1/2/3" player, I still use my Keyboard Keypad for thrusters more often. Just more capability for mining.) I'm a big guy, naturally strong grip, and still cannot hurt this setup! In combat many times I have twisted the hell out of all axis movements and it doesn't flinch. And Combat in a Corvette requires more time in movements cuz it's SLOW! (But VERY effective) Asteroid mining and SRV use is very well supported with this. I can fly a huge CUTTER around the big Asteroids and some small like a fighter! I have used this for Star Citizen but don't play it. (Long Story) AND it is GREAT for Microsoft Flight Simulator too! This was Designed with E.D. in mind and is a FANTASTIC HOTAS for that game specifically, though it will work for other flight sims just great too! VERY STURDY and VERY DURABLE! (And I have over 2000 hours in E.D. including flying out to Beagle Point) Highly Recommended! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ لا يمكن استخدامه بشكل فعلي مع Mac *by E***Z on 24 June 2026* ممتاز ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good. *by G***S on 27 June 2021* Works well. Feels solid and durable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW Finally a HOTAS that actually works! Better than more expensive models! *by M***L on 5 March 2019* Yikes I went through 4 of the X-52, 3 of the X-52 Pro, and 2 of the X-56 Pro - - - THEY ALL FAILED!!! Dead switches, dead logic boards - they all died within a few days of my gentle, mild use!!! I even tried a brand new Warthog and it failed programming brand spanking new out of the box - that too returned the next day... I was getting mad / sad, as my trusty X-45 was getting a bit old and stiff. I refurbed it a bit and now it's much better, still a great backup, but... Ok, so I thought, maybe I don't need higher-end, so I tried this offering from Thrustmaster. IT WORKS!! No programming needed, even for Elite Dangerous, my fave game. You can simply assign button combinations to do every, and I mean EVERY FUNCTION in Elite Dangerous - I never have to use the keyboard at all. Ok, there are no lit buttons but they have braille-like nibs on the buttons and I have learned to use them without looking. There are enough hats on the Throttle to do all the Interface Mode interactions, up down left right tab left tab right back next page prev page you can set them all!!!! I still use a gaming mouse for the non-ship stuff like FSS and manipulating the galaxy maps and free cameras but in theory all that could be done on the analog hat too. The feel and the buttons are quite nice and after two weeks I am tickled pink that this system works great. I even You-toobed a video on how to take them down for improvements, such as the Throttle now is re-lubed and smooth as glass - its really great as while I am playing E:D I often make very subtle and smooth throttle changes. If you are careful, you will not void the warranty doing this - the things are made well and are durable enough to handle this. The feel of all the buttons is just fine and all the hats work nice and precise. I have come to love the Twist Yaw and use it to get good hit ratios in E:D. I have zero complaints about this product and if you think you need a higher end model - good luck because they will let you down HARD. If these other models had worked, I would have kept one and not been making this review. But if I had to review it in that circumstance, this model would maybe only get 4 stars, has it does come across as a bit "toy-ish" - but I have to give it a full 5 stars because it made me happy because IT WORKS!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS (Compatible with PC) - Thrustmaster TFRP Rudder Pedals for Flight Simulators - Hikig 2 Set The Desk Mount for The Flight Sim Game Joystick, Throttle and Hotas Systems Compatible with Logitech X56, X52, X52 Pro, Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas,Thrustmaster T.16000M, Thrustmaster TCA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/253486617-2960778-t-16000m-fcs-hotas-controller](https://www.desertcart.be/products/253486617-2960778-t-16000m-fcs-hotas-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
