The Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition is a flight joystick for civil aviation fans flying on Xbox Series X|S or Windows PC. Officially licensed by Airbus and for Xbox, it is an ergonomic 1:1 scale replica inspired by the Airbus sidestick, and suits players of airliner simulators who want a realistic setup.

Its modular, ambidextrous design lets you configure the sidestick for the captain or co-pilot position, or centrally for solo flight, using four swappable joystick head button modules. The base has an enhanced throttle with a built-in thrust reverser, the stick twists for rudder control (lockable), and contactless magnetic sensors avoid potentiometers. A switch changes between Xbox and PC modes, and an Ecosystem Hub adds two USB-A ports for other Thrustmaster accessories, so only one USB cable goes to the console or PC.
