MOZA Racing MA3X Side Stick

The replaceable grip for flight simulators, designed in the style of a classic side stick, is intended for installation on MOZA control bases or compatible third-party bases. Like the steering wheels from this brand, the model is not a standalone device — it requires a base with a compatible connector, with connection via a five-pin aviation connector based on the plug-and-play principle.

The body is made from ultra-rigid composite material, capable of withstanding loads up to 30 kg, yet the grip itself weighs only 220 grams. The multilayer coating with UV-treatment imitates the texture of aviation polymers — the surface reproduces the tactile properties of real control sticks made from resin composites to the touch. Despite its compactness, the MOZA Racing MA3X Side Stick joystick provides up to 12 input signals with the presence of four physical control elements: an eight-position ALPS switch, a trigger, a toggle, and a button.

The eight-position switch from the Japanese manufacturer ALPS is rated for 100,000 cycles and provides crisp setting of each direction, which is crucial for managing the view or navigational functions in the cockpit. The design is inspired by traditional aviation controls but enhanced with an extended button layout compared to classic prototypes, where control elements are usually minimal. The grip is suitable for enthusiasts building a cockpit replica based on the MOZA ecosystem, as well as pilots using bases from other brands and looking for an ergonomic side stick with authentic tactile feedback.
