Squid Stick ELRS Wireless Simulator Dongle

Squid Stick ELRS Wireless Simulator Dongle

The Squid Stick ELRS Dongle is a wireless USB simulator adapter designed for FPV pilots who want to practice using the same ExpressLRS radio transmitter they fly with in the field.

Named after ThxMrSquid, the Squid Stick streamlines your FPV simulator setup and provides a clean, low-latency wireless connection between your ELRS radio and PC. Simply bind your transmitter and start flying wirelessly in your favorite FPV simulator.

The ELRSJoystick Wireless USB Dongle delivers the impressive range, responsiveness, and low latency that ExpressLRS is known for, making simulator training feel more natural and consistent with real-world flying.

The Squid Stick is commonly used with popular RadioMaster ExpressLRS radios including:

• RadioMaster TX15
• RadioMaster TX16S MKII
• RadioMaster TX16S MKIII
• Other compatible ExpressLRS transmitters

Built upon the open-source CRSFJoystick project, the Squid Stick consolidates all electronics onto a compact single-board design for improved simplicity and reliability.

A custom firmware update from ThxMrSquid enables serial passthrough functionality, allowing the dongle to emulate a drone during Betaflight passthrough for simplified ELRS firmware updating directly from your PC.

Designed by Brain3D, the Squid Stick features a translucent TPU enclosure inspired by colorful sea glass styling. The result is a compact and visually unique addition to your FPV setup.
