The T.16000M FCS is compatible with PC via USB in Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit)The T.16000M FCS offers you a precision level greater than current systems, which will not decrease over time, thanks to the joystick's H.E.A.R.T technologyFully ambidextrous joystick: 3 removable components allow the joystick to be perfectly tailored for left-handed or right-handed useThe joystick includes 16 action buttons with "braille"-style physical button identification + one 8-way Point of View hat switch and 4 independent axes, including twist rudder (controlled by rotating the stick)The T.A.R.G.E.T software allows you to load and create specific mapping profiles for each game
Hi, I'm only an occasional lurker on this sub but I can help a little here. I was searching for info and stumbled on an Italian store listing three variations, HOTAS, stick only and a 'Flight Pack.'
You may take it with a grain of salt since some store speculatively list to draw early pre-orders, but Amazon in Germany have the same products up:
HOTAS
Flight Stick
Flight Pack
I assume the Flight pack includes the pedals?
I think Thrustmaster's own website shows the throttle separately as well, and surely they'd be crazy not to sell the items individually. I'm sure it will be possible to do stick only.

You can buy the updated stick model separately from the throttle in some places now.
German Amazon offers it, releasing on Nov 22.
This is a fantastic cheap HOTAS for anyone interested. It's just $50 for the stick and you can get the bundle with throttle for under $100.
This is ergonomically and actually build quality better than my X55 Rhino HOTAS, it's just a beautiful design. Twist yaw which is nice to use. Highly recommended! :)
Not listed in US stores yet, but a standalone version exists: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01H6KXGEI/

Nope, just just bought 2 this weekend and they are great!
Assuming the sensors take the same voltage and output in a similar range, there's no reason you couldn't hotwire it on the existing PCB. You might have to worry about mounting it securely if it has a different footprint though. If it has a different output range you'd have to modify the PCB to correct it. Personally I'd use an Arduino or similar just so I could fine-tune the sensor range, but you could probably get a working controller with the stock MCU if you aren't fussy about functionality.
The main advantage of using one of those sensor types is longevity: potentiometers rely on moving parts that make physical contact, and so suffer from wear over time. Hall Effect sensors work by detecting a magnetic field, and so don't wear down. I assume the same is true of optical and induction-based sensors. They are probably more accurate too, but thumbsticks are so small I doubt you'd notice.
The trouble is cost: pot-based thumbsticks are very cheap, but I'm having trouble finding Hall Effect thumbsticks that aren't prohibitively expensive. Hall Effect joysticks can be had for around £45, but that's a much larger sensor which wouldn't fit into a GC shell.
EDIT it seems you can buy Hall Effect sensors quite cheaply, so if you're willing to put in some work building your own stickboxes, PCB and programming an MCU to work with them you could build a controller with them for a reasonable price.
