Founded in 1990 in Oregon, Thrustmaster has built an international reputation for crafting high‑performance simulation hardware: from flight‑stick HOTAS systems to racing wheels and pedals for PC and console platforms.

Technology & Licensing


Thrustmaster products aim to feel realistic and responsive. Their racing wheels use either hybrid belt systems or direct-drive technology to give players smooth, lifelike feedback when turning or braking. Flight controls follow the same philosophy, offering precision handling and a close-to-real cockpit experience.

They partner with big names like Ferrari, Gran Turismo, Airbus, Boeing, and even the U.S. Air Force to make their gear feel as close to the real thing as possible.
