While manufacturers often work supplementary pedals into their product lines, the chosen triggers work great and retain the simplicity of an all-in-one system. It also has rear-mounted Xbox bumpers and triggers, the latter providing variable control over yaw, offering one of the best alternatives to rudder pedals. Various on-yoke controls include twin 8-way POV switches, ideal for soaking in Microsoft Flight Simulator's stunning vistas, 4-way HAT switches, and commonplace Xbox inputs like ABXY buttons and a handy 3.5 headset jack. Turtle Beach also decided to use hall effect sensors, leveraging magnetic fields to limit degradation with time, vouching for the device's durability. It's well-constructed with a sturdy aluminum shaft, and although tension has room for improvement, it's a solid first take on this type of hardware. The VelocityOne includes a 180-degree yoke, precise with smooth motion, providing accurate input for key control surfaces.

Using a yoke means added authenticity across titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane, especially within general aviation (think civilian and private aircraft.) I moved over shortly after the latest Flight Simulator launched on PC and it quickly became my preferred input. While it's common to opt for a joystick or a mouse and keyboard, yokes are undoubtedly popular among a subset of enthusiasts. There's a ton of competition in the PC space, but this is really your only option for an Xbox-compatible yoke and throttle combo.

While Redmond's cloud-powered installment hit Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S back in 2021, the launch was dampened by poor accessory support, in contrast to the rich offerings on PC. The main differentiator comes down to Xbox support, positioned as the only console-compatible yoke for Microsoft Flight Simulator. While the sky is the limit for some accessories and their prices, devices like the VelocityOne Flight are suited to simmers looking for that next step with some authentic gear. Priced at $380 as of launch, it sits adjacent to devices from Logitech and Thrustmaster, ideal when looking to invest in solid hardware at a reasonable price. VelocityOne Flight looks to rival the best names in Flight Simulator gear, boasting a full-sized yoke, accompanying throttle quadrant, and ample inputs.
Turtle Beach's debut accessory, the VelocityOne Flight Universal Control System, has delivered a complete solution with almost everything a virtual pilot needs for their maiden voyage.
It can now add flight sim accessories to the list, tackling a booming market following the launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator on PC, and more recently, Xbox consoles. While you might know Turtle Beach for its audio - one of the biggest names in Xbox headsets - the manufacturer has expanded far beyond those roots.
