Officially licensed for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, the VelocityOne Flightstick II is the stick that finally gives console pilots the sensing hardware PC players have taken for granted. Next-generation 16-bit Hall-effect sensors sit on the main axes, resolving over 65,000 input counts each, and there is no driver install between you and the cockpit.

38 programmable inputs and 8 axes give the console pilot somewhere to put commands that previously lived in a menu. A dual encoder cockpit control dial with a tri-position mode switch accounts for up to nine of them on its own, and dual 10-bit Hall-effect base levers, a thumbstick and a multi-function wheel cover throttle, flaps, trim and camera without a second device.

It also runs on Windows 10 and 11, so the same stick follows you onto a PC rig later. The build is ambidextrous, with adjustable wrist and thumb rests, swappable grip inserts and three spring tension settings. The rest of the Xbox flight controls collection covers what goes around it.
