The TWCS Throttle has been designed for advanced fliers looking for comprehensive, ergonomic, comfortable and precise throttle for a realistic in game immersion. The TWCS Throttle is compatible with PC via USB in Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit). TWCS throttle: use your left hand to increase your combat speed and manage your spaceship or jet fighter. The TWCS throttle’s lower positioning compared to quadrant-based systems provides unrivalled comfort. To give simmers complete control, the TWCS throttle includes 14 buttons and one 8-way-PoV hat switch that are added to those of the joystick. In total, this provides gamers with 5 axes, 30 buttons and two 8-way PoVs – plus 3 extra axes via the optional TFRP rudder*. The TWCS throttle features 5 axes and a rear RJ12 connector offering 3 additional axes via the external optional TFRP rudder* from Thrustmaster’s flight product ecosystem. *Sold separately. S.M.A.R.T (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks) technology A unique system of slide rails for perfectly smooth throttle sliding motion – precise and comfortable, with 3.2 inch/80 mm range of travel for precise maneuvers. The tightening screw allows users to adjust the throttle’s friction level to suit their own personal taste. Thrustmaster advanced flying ecosystem These products are part of a range of flight simulation peripherals that can be used in conjunction with one another: a complete ecosystem featuring the FCS flight stick, TWCS throttle, TFRP rudder pedals* and MFD* (Multi-Functional Display) cockpit panels.

T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software** on PC: program up to 256 buttons in the flying ecosystem Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor software: combine with other Thrustmaster devices (so that they are recognized as a single USB device), and load or create specific mapping profiles for each game. Tailor your own profiles to enhance most Thrustmaster flight controllers, and share them with the Thrustmaster community. Ergonomic design for optimum comfort and precision Thanks to its design and ergonomics, the TWCS Throttle provides players with multiple recognizable features, allowing them to become more effective and accurate when in flight. This enhanced access to flight controls proves even more essential when players are fully immersed in the exceptional flight experience delivered by VR-compatible games. The TWCS Throttle is the best way to enjoy a great number of actions at your fingertips. Review: Great throttle - bought the joystick now as well ... WOOHOO! - Brilliant! So many configurable everythings I ran out of things to put on them in ARMA I absolutely LOVE the paddle on the front - feels great and no adjustments necessary. "it's not a cyclic" ... "it shouldn't be flat" ... "it feels wrong and strange" shouted the reviews and customers ... You know what? It doesn't matter. Modern aircraft use straight tracked throttles as well. The software is a little over-the-top, as having the capability to script one button press to automatically fire the missiles, change targets, drop the bombs, switch back targets and thenshoot more missiles is a little silly and unnecessary. Also, it's a pus** move! Review: Another fantastic product in the budget price range from thrustmaster - Another fantastic product in the budget price range from thrustmaster. The buttons are mostly solid with exception of 3 rubber dome buttons that are a let down but acceptable. The analouge joystick proves to be a reliable input method particularly in space sims however I must complain about its placement. I would much rather prefer if the ministick was placed on the thumb a bit like CH pro throttle (which I own). Furthermore the dial has a lot of resistance which was uncomfortable to use with pinkie but hopefully it is moddable and already after use I see the resistance settling down. As for the precision of the axis; it is incredible, thrustmaster doesn't compromise when it comes to quality electronics and I believe the z axis has 15 bit resolution (that is 32768 data points). All the other axis are 10 bit which is more than enough. The T.A.R.G.E.T software is very sophisticated and although a little unintuitive at first it can be very powerful in the hands of someone willing to write their own code. One cool possibility is to use the ministick as a hat switch if the game doesn't support analouge values yet you need extra buttons. ## Features - S.M.A.R.T Technology: The Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle features S.M.A.R.T (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks) technology for smooth and precise throttle movements, enhancing your flight simulation experience. - 14 Action Buttons: Equipped with 14 action buttons and an 8-way POV hat switch, the TWCS Throttle offers extensive customization and control options for a comprehensive flight simulation setup. - Ergonomic Design: Designed for comfort and efficiency, the TWCS Throttle includes a wide hand rest and adjustable tension control, ensuring optimal support during long gaming session - Advanced Programming: Compatible with Thrustmaster's T.A.R.G.E.T software, allowing you to program, configure, and test your setup, and create custom profiles for an optimized flight experience. - Versatile Compatibility: The TWCS Throttle is compatible with a wide range of flight simulation software and hardware, providing seamless integration with your existing setup ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01H6KXGDO | | Best Sellers Rank | 7,689 in PC & Video Games ( See Top 100 in PC & Video Games ) 217 in PC Game Controllers | | Brand | Thrustmaster | | Brand Name | Thrustmaster | | Button Quantity | 14 | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Compatible devices | PC | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Controller Type | Throttle Quadrant | | Controller type | Throttle Quadrant | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 541 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03362932914488 | | Hardware Platform | PC, Windows | | Included Components | accelerator | | Item Dimensions | 22.9 x 15.2 x 26.4 centimetres | | Item Weight | 1000 Grams | | Manufacturer | Thrustmaster | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3362932914488 | | Model Name | TWCS Throttle | | Model Number | 3362932914488 | | Model name | TWCS Throttle | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | 2 years | | Special Features | Ergonomic | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Thrustmaster - **Compatible devices:** PC - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Controller type:** Throttle Quadrant - **Model name:** TWCS Throttle ## Images ![Thrustmaster TWCS - Throttle for PC - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615na1jWbsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great throttle - bought the joystick now as well ...

However I've been really pleasantly impressed with it for both DCS and Xplane11. I've used it on both PC and MAC both without trouble. I haven't needed the Thrustmaster T.A.R.G.E.T. software at all but it's good to know you can extend the capability with that. I was looking to Pay a LOT more for a higher-end throttle, but I'm glad I went this direction for now. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle - Precision Throttle Controller with S.M.A.R.T Technology for PC - Thrustmaster TFRP T.
