The Thrustmaster Viper TQS (Throttle Quadrant System) is the impressive successor to the beloved and widely acclaimed Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar throttle. The Viper TQS consists of a metal replica (1:1 scale) of the characteristic throttle of an F-16 fighter jet, complete with idle and afterburner detents. In addition, the Throttle Quadrant System has a slap switch for releasing chaffs/flares. A major advantage of this throttle is that the resistance can be adjusted according to preference.

The throttle lever utilises Thrustmaster's HallEffect AccuRate Technology (H.E.A.R.T.). H.E.A.R.T. uses magnetic sensors with a 16-bit resolution, ensuring extremely precise tracking of your accelerator pedal movements. In addition, the sensor has no moving parts, which prevents any wear and tear. The Viper TQS has 19 action buttons, 2 virtual buttons and 5 axes.

The Viper TQS can be upgraded (even retrospectively) with the Thrustmaster Viper Panel, which makes flying the F-16 Viper in a flight simulator an even more realistic experience.
