Since the other thread was merged into this one just sharing.....
In the other thread it was asked if you could use both the HOTAS One and the gamepad.

07 Commanders!
Bought myself TM T.flight hotas few days ago, having a blast with it. Best purchase in years, after buying Elite ofc
But i need some help. There is any way to use both Hotas and a controller? Right now if my controller is online, then hotas is not working. Any vice versa.
Because i have hard time with chatting, using my hotas. One pilot wanted to talk with me, but i dont know to reply to his message. Feel bad now

Yes and No is the answer, but it shouldn’t be concluded that you can fly with one, then put down one and resume flying with the other.
There are buttons that work on the gamepad but not to the extent that allows you to play like prior to using the HOTAS One. If you wire the Xbox one gamepad to the console directly and use the chat pad, you can type but depending on your settings, you’ll need to initiate it on the HOTAS in some cases.
Being wired does give the vibration and ability to chat using a headset.
Some others prefer a traditional keyboard to type but note, this doesn’t offer flight controls just text input.
