# Thrustmaster Sol-R 3 AVA Add-On Grip, 21-button PC flightstick grip

The Thrustmaster Sol-R 3 AVA Add-On Grip is a PC flightstick grip for combat and space-simulation play. It has 21 mappable controls and a built-in Z-axis, but it is an add-on rather than a complete joystick: a compatible base is sold separately.

## At a glance

- 21 mappable controls include two triggers, two hat switches, a ministick and a thumbwheel.
- Built-in Z-axis and magnetic H.E.A.R.T. sensors are specified across all axes.
- Two STAR cams are supplied for adjusting the axis curve when used with an AVA base.
- The grip is described as ambidextrous, with interchangeable thumb and hand rests and a backlit ministick.

## Pros

- A broad set of on-grip controls can put frequently used commands within reach during flight simulation.
- The built-in Z-axis adds a control axis for manoeuvring without relying on the ministick or thumbwheel.
- Interchangeable rests and ambidextrous design offer options for either hand.

## Cons

- This is a grip-only add-on, so buyers need a compatible base to use it and the base is sold separately.

## Before you buy

- The listing reports an overall rating spread across positive and one-star ratings, but the small rating sample and lack of review summaries do not show why customers rated it as they did.

## A good fit for

- PC space-combat and flight-simulation players who already own a compatible Thrustmaster base.
- Buyers who want multiple mappable grip controls and a built-in Z-axis.
- Left- or right-handed users seeking adjustable hand and thumb rests.

## Less suited to

- Anyone seeking a complete flightstick with its base included.
- Users whose existing base is not a listed compatible model, or who do not have the required Warthog Converter for Warthog-base use.

## Customer feedback

The available aggregate ratings are mixed, with a notable low-star share alongside positive ratings. With only a small number of ratings and no customer-review summary, they offer little explanation of satisfaction or concerns. Buyers should judge the grip against their needs for a compatible base, its 21 controls and built-in Z-axis rather than treating the rating as evidence of a specific performance issue.

## Frequently asked questions

No base is stated as included. The grip is designed for Thrustmaster AVA or Sol-R bases, which the listing says are sold separately.
