HORI Farming Vehicle Control System for PC

[MOS:96B2P]

Anybody using this control system? If so what do you think about it? Is it worth buying?

Well, the 6 reviews on Amazon give it a combined 1.2 stars. Also, Thrustmaster has this in the works:

For me personally, I use dual VKB Gladiator Premium NTX flight sticks. In my opinion, the sensitivity of the stick is key, especially when doing things like forklift work or forestry.

I started with a pair of Thrustmaster 16000m's, but they were garbage and I sold them. They're a bottom tier Thrustmaster product, so I can't judge the farm controls on that.

That said, The reviews on the HORI, the mixed reviews from the Saitek farm system (especially the wheel), make me hesitant on any exclusive farm controller system. Flight enthusiast demand quality and are willing to pay for it, thus there's some great sticks with excellent precision out there that can be mapped for everything neeeded in farm sim without issue.

If you do get the HORI, please report back, I'd love to hear how you like them. If a quality dedicated farm control system becomes available that rivals what I have now, I'd be tempted to invest.

Hello Wizard, thanks for the information

i'm also tempted to buy dual vkb gladiators, at least the right premium, do i also need the left one premium?

how are your experiences so far? would you go for that choice again?

the tm farmsticks are more or less upgraded t16000, no? i also fear, that the sensitivy is ♥♥♥♥!

Hello yes, I'm still using the VKB set and they still work fantastically.

By now, across games, they probably have between 1500-2000 hours on them and I haven't had any issues or button problems thus far.

As far as regular vs premium, I'm fairly certain you can mix without issue.

I'd just like to add that I'm using them with these desk mounts, and have since I've had the joysticks, so they have the same play time as well:

They're kinda pricey too, but they're an all metal, rock solid mounting system.

I would recommend both products to anyone.
