I am a very unhappy TM warthog owner. The flawed design of the gimbal cannot be corrected. It’s gimbal design shares more in common with an analog thumbstick (i.e., Xbox or PS controller) than anything resembling a flight control mechanism. Perhaps I’m just being picky there.
What cannot be denied is the abhorrent build quality and overall design. I have years of experience as a V&V engineer so this is precisely my area of expertise. The gimbal mechanism is injection molded and not properly finished. It’s surface is not smooth and has what is called flash; material that flows out of the cavity where the two mold halves meet. This can results in what the community has dubbed “Stiction”. Google it.
The throttle levers are very flimsy, are made of plastic and have only a thin metal veneer.Yet the throttle weighs nearly 10 pounds due to the steel ballast affixed to the upper side of the bottom cover plate.
Switches on the throttle and stick are of the lowest possible quality. Buttons are extremely cheap membrane switches that frequently fail open or closed.
I would gladly take analog potentiometers over TM’s “H.E.A.R.T.” hall sensors in the throttle if the cost would allow something resembling a quality switch or button .
Look at the stickied posts on various flight simulator forums showing how many TM customers have had total main board failures for the throttles. My throttle is now on that list, despite following TM’s absurd instructions to plug the throttle in after PC start up. Why does no other USB device have such problems? Yet Thrustmaster Support continues to manufacture this product with a known flaw and when the failure occurs immediately they will offer sell you a replacement for $60. If you’re lucky enough to have it fail within the warranty, they will still send you a replacement board that you must replace yourself.
Look at all the forum posts where customers have had switch failures.
Take all the 5 star reviews you see with a HUGE grain of salt. Initially you may be pleased with this HOTAS but inevitably switches and buttons WILL fail. The throttle main board will likely fail sometime after two years.

I've had the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog stick and throttle for over a year now, and I purposely deferred my review for two reasons: First, I wanted to make sure I didn't have a 'bum steer' as is sometimes the case with products of this nature. Second, I didn't want to do a 'honeymoon phase' review where I'm singing its praises without really knowing its strengths and weaknesses. So, with a year's worth of experience under the belt, here we go:
TLDR: A must buy. Just buy it. It's worth every penny. For more detail, read on.
This was by no means an impulse buy on my part: I deliberated long and hard between this and the Saitek X55, which had only been out a few months. The X55 was less than half the price, but it was getting lukewarm reviews and appeared to suffer from serious QA problems. (Unfortunately its successor, the X56, seems to be suffering the same fate). It came down to this: Do I want to spend $200 on a $50 piece o' junk that might last a couple of years *if I'm lucky* or do I want to plunk down twice that much on a product that--provided I don't get a 'bum steer'--will probably last a lifetime?
I took the plunge on the Warthog and I am pleased to report I am not disappointed. Unless your pockets are deep enough to get into GoFlight or Yoko The Yoke territory, and until Saitek gets their act together and stops building mediocre junk, the Thrustmaster HOTAS is, in my opinion, the only viable choice for a premium joystick and throttle.
I have never had controllers that are so smooth and precise. I concur with other reviewers that the stick has a more 'heavy duty' feel than the throttles, but by no means did Thrustmaster cut corners on the throttles. They have no 'play' and do not feel 'mushy,' plus they have a longer throw than any other throttles I've ever owned, which makes precise adjustments (absolutely critical when flying the Majestic Q400 on final) easier than ever. In fact, it was only after I purchased the Warthog that I was able to fully tame the Q400. The switches on the throttle handles are not quite as stiff as those on the base of the throttle, but I'd be willing to bet this was done to minimize torsion on the throttles and make them easy for single digit control. They do have a much better feel than the 'plasticky' switches on my old controller (Saitek X52).
I also concur with other reviewers that the firm spring on the stick takes some getting used to, but after a few months of break-in it's not quite so stiff, and your arm will have built up sufficient strength to operate it without fatigue. Now that I am used to it I doubt I could ever go back to a flimsy stick that fails to provide the same level of precision and control. I do wish the stick was rubberized--instead it is hard and rather slick, which does make it somewhat difficult for me to grip firmly. Note also that the stick is X/Y only, there is no 'twist' to control the Z axis. This is one of the reasons Saitek held my interest, but now I'm convinced that a 'twist' stick is not a good thing. Now I use the rightmost slider on the throttle for rudder control, which took a little getting used to but is now second nature (due to mobility issues I am not able to use foot controllers).
Two last remarks: First, if you are using this with FSX, get FSUIPC and LINDA as they take 90% of the headache out of configuring this beast. Second, I also purchased a Logitech G13 gaming controller and moved all of my EZCA views off the stick and onto the G13. This makes it possible to program the hats and switches to do true hands-on-the-stick (and almost completely off the mouse) flying.
To sum up, the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog has exceeded my expectations in every way. Even a year later I'm have absolutely no regret for making this purchase. Rarely do I consider expenditures on entertainment products an 'investment' but in this case I'll gladly make an exception. Its quality is worth the price, it has taken my enjoyment flight simulation to new heights, and shows no sign of 'going bad' or wearing out. In fact, it will most likely outlive its owner.

Before you buy,
I found that you can't use pedals(1 axis), brakes (Left and Right, two axis), Throttles(Z and rZ axis), JoySick(X and Y axis), MiniStick(rX and rY axis), and Throttle Friction Lever (Slider axis).
That adds up to 10 axis and windows DirectX only allows 8. If you use all the available axis on the Warthog (Stick and Throttle), your already at 7.
I've tried to exclude the TPR in TARGET, but it will only exclude it from the combined virtual controller. TARGET still captures it and makes it unmappable in game.
So far you can't run a TARGET and have available all the axis on the combined controller. The software won't let you completely exclude the TPR form it's control and therefore making the pedals unmapable by windows.
I have contacted customer support and they have been less than helpful.
That's the bad news. The good news is they seem to very well made. Adjustments are pretty easy to make. I removed the centering springs and widened the center dead space. The pendulum action lets them rest on center with no effort.
I only gave three stars due to the overall compatibility with other Thrustmaster products.
