Thrustmaster, the renowned name in gaming peripherals behind some excellent racing wheels, like the T128 and T248, is expanding its SimTask range with the launch of the SimTask FarmStick X for Xbox.
Building upon the success of the PC-focused SimTask FarmStick in 2024, this new version brings enhanced features and Xbox Series X|S compatibility to the world of virtual farming. When you consider how big the likes of Farming Simulator 25 are, it makes ‘udder’ sense!
Precision Farming at Your Fingertips
Designed with Thrustmaster’s expertise in flight simulation – the T.Flight Full Kit X or TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition – behind things, the SimTask FarmStick X is a joystick specifically tailored for controlling farming and heavy machinery in simulation games.
With three directional axes, two of which feature H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensors, the FarmStick X offers precise control over forklifts, cranes, and all manner of agricultural and construction equipment.
Multifunctional and Versatile
The FarmStick X boasts a multifunctional stick with 6 buttons, 2 rocker switches, 2 triggers, a mini-stick, and a thumbwheel. This versatile setup allows for intuitive control over a wide range of machinery. The addition of a new hand throttle and a total of 33 configurable buttons further enhances the joystick’s versatility, providing a comprehensive control panel for virtual farmers.
Immersive Design
Inspired by the interiors of high-end modern tractors and farming equipment, the SimTask FarmStick X features an ergonomic and realistic design that enhances immersion. Its ambidextrous design ensures comfortable handling even during long farming sessions.
Plug & Play Farming
The FarmStick X is plug-and-play compatible with Farming Simulator 25 on Xbox Series X|S and PC (Windows 10/11), with controls automatically mapped to each vehicle for intuitive operation. On PC, the stick’s buttons can be customised for use with other games as well.
Building the Ultimate Farming Setup
Thrustmaster envisions the SimTask FarmStick X as part of a complete farming simulation ecosystem. It pairs perfectly with the SimTask Steering Kit and a T128 or T248 racing wheel (sold separately) to create a truly immersive and comprehensive virtual farming experience.
