Summary
Nutrition label

63% Informative

Each stick has eight buttons, two dials, a thrust slider (with accompanying lighting), and a quarter of switches.

The Sol-R range will run you $ 199.99 / 159.99 , but they’re considerably cheaper than rivals like the Saitek Pro Flight , but a little more than Thrustmaster ’s own T-Flight Hotas One.

Each stick screws on easily but securely to the base, giving you plenty of flexibility with your setup.

The stick fits in both hands, with the thumb located in the thumb rest height.

The Sol-R is identified in compatible games as a Generic Joystick ’, so you can expect to do a lot of customization to get it just right in your game of choice.

Turtle Beach’s VelocityOne is arguably the closest rival because it offers a great stick experience flanked by additional inputs.

Unlike the T.Flight HOTAS One, the Sol-r 1 is sadly PC only.
