Thrustmaster TQS Viper Throttle

The Thrustmaster Viper TQS (Throttle Quadrant System) is an officially licensed 1:1 scale replica of the U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper throttle handle, engineered for precision engine management on Windows PC. Utilizing a die-cast metal handle to replicate the thermal and tactile properties of the actual aircraft, the TQS employs H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) with 3D magnetic sensors. This provides 16-bit resolution (65,536 values) for frictionless precision that does not degrade over time. The system features a mechanical detent system for Idle and Afterburner phases, providing industrial-grade tactile feedback during high-stress combat maneuvers. 1:1 Scale Viper Kinematics Authentic Detents: Features the iconic F-16 "Idle" and "Afterburner" gates, requiring a physical lift-and-push action to transition the throttle through engine power phases. Metal Construction: The handle is composed of die-cast metal, providing structural rigidity and weight calibrated to real-world flight hardware. Adjustable Friction: Includes an accessible internal screw to customize the mechanical resistance of the throttle's rotational arc. Legacy Ergonomics: Sculpted to support authentic hand placement for managing radar, weapons, and sensors simultaneously. H.E.A.R.T Sensor & Input Layout 16-Bit Magnetic Resolution: Frictionless magnetic sensors eliminate potentiometers, ensuring surgical accuracy for aerial refueling and formation flying. 21 Action Buttons: A comprehensive control suite including 19 action buttons and 2 multidirectional hat switches. Slew Control: Features a high-precision 2-axis mini-stick dedicated to Target Designation Control (TDC) and radar cursor slewing. Chaff/Flare Management: Tactile switches positioned for immediate countermeasure deployment during combat. Platform Support & Software PC System: Native plug-and-play support for Windows 10 and 11 via USB-C connection. T.A.R.G.E.T Suite: Fully compatible with the Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor to create custom mapping and macro sequences. DCS World Integration: Pre-calibrated for the DCS: F-16C Viper module, supporting authentic cold-start and combat procedures. Ecosystem: Complements the F-16C Viper HOTAS Grip and other T-Series flight bases.
