This article covers Thrustmaster SimTask ファームスティック 3軸ジョイスティック ファームシミュレーションゲーム用 (PC対応).

Overview

The Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick (model 2960889) is a specialized 3-axis joystick designed for farming and construction simulation games. Built on Thrustmaster's flight simulation expertise, it offers plug-and-play compatibility with Farming Simulator 22. Featuring H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensors, the stick delivers precise control. It includes six buttons, a thumb wheel, a mini-stick, two rocker switches, and a trigger, providing up to 33 assignable action buttons. The ambidextrous design allows simultaneous use with a racing wheel or a second joystick for an immersive cockpit experience.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The FarmStick connects to PC (Windows 11/10) via a USB-A cable and requires no additional drivers. It was developed in collaboration with Giants Software GmbH, ensuring out-of-the-box functionality with Farming Simulator 22. It can be combined with Thrustmaster T128 or T248 racing wheels (sold separately) to create a full simulated cabin. The symmetrical design works equally well for left- or right-handed users, making multi-device setups flexible.

Product Info

Released on November 14, 2023, the SimTask FarmStick is available from major retailers such as Japan for approximately ¥32,896. It occupies an entry-to-mid tier position in Thrustmaster's simulation lineup, focusing specifically on agricultural and construction vehicle control. Unlike generic joysticks, its dedicated layout optimizes heavy machinery simulation. The package includes only the joystick; it is USB bus-powered (no external adapter required). Warranty follows Thrustmaster's standard terms, typically one year.

Best Use Cases

Ideal for players deeply engaged with the Farming Simulator series, requiring realistic control of tractors, forklifts, and cranes. The three-axis design and abundance of buttons allow intuitive management of complex vehicle functions. Suitable for construction simulation gamers (e.g., Construction Simulator) who need precise manipulation of heavy equipment. The ambidextrous design also benefits users building a multi-peripheral rig alongside flight sticks or racing wheels.
