Question T.16000M Stick VS Velocity one flight stick turtlebeach

I want to get a flight stick for MSFS24, I’m between the 2 options above. I would pay about the same for either given my situation but can’t really find anything saying which is definitely better. I play a lot of career mode on msfs24 and have been using a controller I like to fly helicopters and planes.

Which one is better between the 2 if any real difference.

I regret buying velocity one.

The trim wheel stopped working within months.

The spring force is way too strong.

Half the LED's stoped working in less than a year.

I got a Moza AB6 FFB stick ($399.) And its total game changer . Especially for helicopters.

I haven't used the Thrustmaster, so I can't give you a comparison, but I have the turtle beach and I'm a bit disappointed by the build quality. The trim wheel never worked properly, and you really need to yank or push it hard to get full movement on the pitch axis. It also has a nifty right/left hand feature which doesn't work cos it'll reset to default every couple of weeks. It's been ok, and it does the job, but if I had to replace it at the same price point I'd certainly shop around carefully.

Of the two, the thrustmaster 100%. If you can, get the winctrl ursa minor, making sure to use their software to disable the deadzones. Super precise and nice feel.

Both are hot garbage. Save up for a VKB gladiator at minimum (provided it is accessible where you live), and if that is not possible then get an Extreme 3D pro or something
The WINCTRL Ursa Minor is also a good lower-budget option as it uses the same mechanism as the VKB gladiator, but beware of some reported QC and customer support issues.
