February 9, 20224 yr I haven't found a wireless flight joystick, and I think there are none presently. But is there any way to connect the joystick to some device which can be connected to the compute wirelessly? I think wireless is the future and the way to go. Really wish Thrustmaster and Logitech could see this.

Really wish Thrustmaster and Logitech could see this. There would be no way to currently achieve this with existing devices as the devices would still require electricity even if you found a way for the device to communicate with the computer. I personally do not share the thought process of wireless being the future for flight sim equipment. It doesn't seem compatible with it's use. You are essentially asking for your device to have more expense and a shorter lifespan to save the few minutes of cable organisation.

February 9, 20224 yr Wireless USB hubs have been available for several years and some you can run off a power-brick. They tend to introduce latency to the controller. This probably isn't an issue with slower fixed wing aircraft but will reveal itself with fighter jets and helicopters

Because either way, I still can't see how electricity makes it to the joystick? Edited February 9, 20224 yr by Rudiii Currently circumnavigating the world in a mix of Cessna and Piper aircraft.

So the connection is only wireless to the PC. You remove the USB cable but replace it with a power cable plugged into the wall socket.

Thank yo all for the suggestion. I see no sensible way of doing this currently. What a pity!
