Given that the VelocityOne is designed specifically (though not exclusively) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Turtle beach was limited in how creative they could be with the design and general layout as they had to adhere to pre-existing slight sim control conventions.ĭespite this limitation, we really like how it looks. After this, the VelocityOne will be recognized automatically by any compatible game. The blue one goes from the throttle quadrant to the main housing and the red one goes from the main housing to a vacant USB port on your PC. If you choose to move your desk pad, Turtle beach has also included sticky anti-vibration pads for a very secure fitment on a standard desk.Īfter this simply connect the helpfully color-coded USB Cables. It’s worth noting here that it won’t mount 100% securely if you have a desk pad as tightening the clamps to a point where it doesn’t move around results in the rear of the yoke housing lifting off of the desk. These will result in a far more solid fit than clamping the VelocityOne to a desk. For the hardcore flight sim enthusiasts among you with a proper cockpit setup, there are also three threaded screw holes on the underside that are spaced as such to be compatible with the standard mounting setups on most flight sim cockpits. The setup was simple enough, just open the flap positioned behind the yoke and grab the included hex key, Then unscrew the two bolts to extend the clamps until they can slide over the edge of your desk, then re-tighten them to secure the VelocityOne to the desktop. Given the amount of cardboard and plastic wrapping, we are fully confident in the safety of the VelocityOne during transit, which is unsurprising as it goes for $350, so Turtle Beach has put enough effort into the packaging to ensure that they won’t have to replace one broken during delivery. Opening the box we are greeted by the steering yoke and throttle quadrant side-by-side, in their own cardboard inserts wrapped in plastic. Similar to the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 headset, the box is constructed with pretty sturdy cardboard and bordered with Xbox livery, alongside some featured images of the VelocityOne, with an annotated image showing the controls on the reverse. The VelocityOne comes in a pretty huge box for a gaming peripheral, measuring 53.5cm wide, 36cm in height, and 25.5cm deep. Let’s have a look at the unboxing and setup process of the Turtle Beach VelocityOne. So, let’s start with some familiar areas of focus, before moving into the more aviation-specific aspects of this review. Given our inexperience with flight controllers, this review will be a learning experience, and we can’t wait to get into it.
