Turtle Beach’s VelocityOne H.O.T.A.S. is a two-part flight-simulation controller with 73 programmable inputs and 15 axes. It can suit PC and Xbox players who want a separate stick and throttle, but game support is listed by platform, and a PC setup needs two USB-A ports. Turtle Beach’s US storefront lists the bundle for $279.99 (Turtle Beach).
What comes in the bundle
The set pairs the VelocityOne Flightstick II with the VelocityOne Dual Throttle. Turtle Beach divides the controls and physical specifications between the two modules as follows:
| Component | Programmable inputs | Axes | Dimensions | Weight |
| VelocityOne Flightstick II | 38 | 8 | 8.2 × 7.5 × 9.9 in | 3.1 lb |
| VelocityOne Dual Throttle | 35 | 7 | 8.2 × 7.5 × 5.5 in | 2.9 lb |
The Flightstick II’s main axes use 16-bit Hall-effect sensors, according to Turtle Beach. The company also lists three stick-tension settings, adjustable throttle tension, interchangeable throttle detents and a lockable dual throttle. The stick is ambidextrous, with adjustable wrist and thumb rests and swappable grip inserts. Those adjustments give you room to tailor the controls to your setup, while the large number of inputs makes learning your button mapping part of the deal.
The stick has a full-color Flight Management Display; the throttle has LED bars. Turtle Beach also lists customizable RGB lighting and haptic feedback on the stick. (Turtle Beach’s product specifications)
What the hands-on review found
In a review published October 13, 2026, Jonathan H. Kantor of SlashGear reported using the bundle for a week on PC and Xbox Series X. He described the hardware as sturdy and the controls as tactile, and said the stick’s display lets users adjust settings without a PC or app. He also tested Ace Combat 7, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Star Wars: Squadrons; those observations are Kantor’s review findings, not a standardized comparison (SlashGear’s review).
Kantor’s assessment points to the main trade-off: a large control set can offer more ways to configure a flight setup, but you’ll want to learn where the important commands are before a busy moment in the cockpit. SlashGear also reports 10-bit axis resolution for the Dual Throttle.
Games and platform support
Turtle Beach lists Xbox Series X|S and Windows 10/11 PC compatibility, with different supported-game lists for each. Its Xbox list includes Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and 2020, Star Wars: Squadrons, Elite Dangerous and War Thunder. Xbox Cloud streaming is not supported.
For PC, Turtle Beach lists Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and 2020, Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, Ace Combat, DCS World, X-Plane 11 and 12, War Thunder, Everspace 2, Star Wars: Squadrons, Rise of Flight and Prepar3D. Check the list for the platform you plan to use rather than treating general Xbox or PC compatibility as a guarantee for every title. (Turtle Beach’s platform and game list)
For Star Citizen, one community member shared an adapted XML profile and mapping PDFs after saying they had not found a ready-made official profile for the bundle. A commenter estimated that the mapping covered about 85–90% of bindings and offered setup suggestions, including device order and switching certain dials to digital mode in Flight Hangar. Treat that as a community-created starting point, not a Turtle Beach configuration (community profile and discussion).
PC connections and Flight Hangar
A PC needs Windows 10 or 11, two USB-A 2.0-or-higher ports, and an internet connection for driver software. The bundle includes a 2 m USB-C-to-USB-A cable for the stick, a 2 m USB-C-to-USB-C cable and a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter for the throttle’s PC connection.
Flight Hangar is optional. Turtle Beach recommends it for performance customization and firmware updates, so you can use the controller without making the app a requirement. The box also includes throttle detents, ambidextrous grip and wrist-rest parts, mounting screws and a quick-start insert. (Turtle Beach’s setup details)
Who should consider it
The $279.99 price displayed on Turtle Beach’s US storefront buys a bundle with two adjustable modules, a substantial number of programmable controls and support for several named flight games on both PC and Xbox. It makes the most sense for players whose preferred titles are on the relevant platform list and who want a stick-and-throttle setup rather than a simpler controller.
If you play on PC, check that you have the two required USB-A ports and allow time to configure the controls. For Xbox, the listed game support does not include Xbox Cloud streaming. SlashGear reported that Turtle Beach released the bundle in September 2026 (Turtle Beach; SlashGear).
