Thrustmaster Joystick not working on Xbox Series S. Xbox button blinking

it's likely a defective joystick if it's not connecting to the console

Hi, my name is Vanesa and I will be happy to help you.

I'm sorry you have this problem. Follow the instructions below for a solution.

My controller does not connect
Restart your PC to see if this fixes your connection issue.
Connect your controller to your device using a USB-C cable (or USB to micro-USB cable for Xbox One controllers).
If the control works correctly with a wired connection, continue to the next step.

If the controller does not work when connected with a USB cable, carefully check that the problem is not related to the cable or port. Try a different cable or port or connect to another device. If you have verified that the cable and port work, and the controller does not work when plugged in, you should replace the controller (see "Replace the controller" below).

Update the firmware of your control. You can do this on a PC by installing the Xbox Accessories app from the Microsoft Store. Then, connect the controller while the app is open. If you can't update your controller, go to "Further Troubleshooting" below.

Make sure you have the latest Windows update. You can check for available Windows updates in Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.

You can learn more about the different methods for setting up a controller connection to a Windows device here:
How can I connect my Xbox controller to PC?
If none of these steps resolve your controller connection issue, go to "Replace Controller" below.

Turn your console completely off and turn it back on by pressing and holding the Xbox  button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. Once the console turns off, unplug the power cable from the console for 30 seconds, and then plug the console back in. You must press the Xbox  button to start the console.

If your controller still won't connect to your console after completely turning your console off and then turning it back on, try connecting your controller directly to your console using a USB-C cable (or USB to micro-USB cable for Xbox One controllers).
If the control works correctly with a wired connection, continue to the next step.

If the controller does not work when connected with a USB cable, carefully check that the problem is not related to the cable or port. Try a different cable or port or connect to another device. If you have verified that the cable and port work, and the controller does not work when plugged in, you should replace the controller (see "Replace the controller" below).

Update the control firmware. You can do this on your console by pressing the Xbox  button to open the guide, then selecting Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Controllers & headsets. Select "... on the controller you are trying to troubleshoot to check the firmware status. If you are unable to update your controller, go to "Further Troubleshooting".

If none of these steps resolve your controller connection issue, go to "Replace Controller" below.

I hope I can help you solve it.

Thanks for the reply. That’s useful.

This is the joystick.

“ Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One Flight Stick for Xbox One & Windows - Works on Xbox Series X|S“

Hopefully might work with XBox S/X which if I’m right wouldn’t require any game subscription? Sorry I’m completely new to this.

Hello, thank you for your repeat?

I see hear on the XBox Console the possibility of Live-Streaming?? Would you please tell me, wether I can use this and give me more information and Links.

Can you please check the following Joystick, using and compatible

with XBox Series S:

„Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition Flightstick/Joystick“

I have thrustmaster hotas, works fine but I believe it is the only joystick licenced for xbox one at this time.
