Thrustmaster introduces the SimTask FarmStick for Xbox! In 2024, the FarmStick won over the Farming Simulator community on PC, establishing itself as an essential piece of equipment for virtual farming enthusiasts. Now compatible with Xbox Series X|S, it comes with a few new features.

SimTask FarmStick is the joystick designed for controlling farming and heavy machinery, developed based on Thrustmaster’s know-how in flight simulation.

With its 3 directional axes including 2 with H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensors, you can precisely control forklifts, cranes and all other types of farming and construction machinery.

Featuring a multifunctional stick, a new hand throttle, and 33 configurable buttons in total, FarmStick provides a super-versatile experience.

Plug & Play in Farming Simulator 25, its controls are automatically assigned to each vehicle for intuitive control. Its design was directly inspired by the interiors of high-end modern tractors and farming equipment, for greater immersion and realism.

SimTask FarmStick is compatible with Xbox Series X|S and PC (Windows 11/10), and pairs perfectly with a SimTask Steering Kit accompanied by a T128 or T248 racing wheel (all sold separately), for a full-featured and immersive driver’s cabin.

With 6 buttons, 2 rocker switches, 2 triggers, 1 mini-stick and 1 thumbwheel, the stick is a multifunctional device allowing you to control all types of machinery right at your fingertips.

  • ALL-IN-ONE CONTROL PANEL

The joystick’s base features a hand throttle and 18 buttons that are fully mappable to specific actions in each game or type of vehicle. On PC, the “Combo” button lets you double the number of actions that can be mapped onto each button in Farming Simulator 25. With its 33 buttons and different types of controls, SimTask FarmStick is both a joystick and an all-in-one control panel.
