Your own personal Airbus

Many of us aren’t able to hop on a plane currently, so the next best way to experience such freedom is with the latest iteration of Microsoft Flight Simulator . But you’ve never really simulated the flying experience until you’ve done it with dedicated controllers. Much like the range of steering wheels, pedals, gear shifters and so forth that are available for car racing enthusiasts, so too is there a selection of hot PC flight simulator equipment for the home. Thrustmaster is a leader in this cool accessories space, and airliner fans will be thrilled with their range of officially licensed Airbus controllers.

Available only while they last, you’ll find classics such as the ever-so-shiny gold and the natty red camouflage number. But the best news of all? Berry blue is back! Yes, our personal favourite – and the pride of our almost embarrassingly large personal DualShock collection – makes its return, and it’s available exclusively at JB. If you missed out last time then we’d suggest getting in berry quick… (Sorry.)

Get a grip! If you’ve ever been in the heat of battle only to inadvertently have a slippery controller go flying across the room, a solution is at hand from Lizard Skins. Lizard Skins make a range of textured rubber grips for PS4, Xbox One, Switch Joy-Con and general mouse controllers, and they certainly are grippy.

included alcohol pad, peel, stick then say hello to grip. It literally took less than two minutes to have one of our DualShocks all wrapped up and ready to play. Lizard Skins come in a range of various solid and camo colours, so there should be something to suit any shade of controller that you can throw at them.
