The TWCS throttle is ideal for performing a wide range of actions thanks to its easy-to-reach buttons.


Optimal comfort and extreme precision

The Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle also incorporates S.M.A.R.T. (Sliding Motion Advanded Rail) technology. (Sliding Motion Advanded Rail Tracks) technology. This exclusive sliding rail system guarantees fluid and ultra-precise movement over the 80 mm of throttle travel, for precise maneuvers. The tightening screw allows users to adjust the level of throttle friction to their liking.


Innovative and powerful software


T.A.R.G.E.T. allows for total interaction between different Thrustmaster USB controllers, simplified configurations in simulators, and the use of a single profile for all controllers rather than as many profiles as there are controllers.

Finally, and this is a definite advantage, T.A.R.G.E.T. includes predefined profiles for famous titles, both recent and older, and moreover allows the creation of new profiles!

    Excellent product, can be configured as required

    I bought this controller for the Tramsim tramway simulator. The configuration software provided by Thrustmaster allowed me to make the controller a traction/braking lever with a neutral zone in the middle.

    A bit cheap and a bit expensive

    It's a little bit plastic and a bit expensive for what it is, but it does the job.
    My advice is to look out for promotions on the joystick+throttle+rudder pedals set.
    The buttons are nevertheless well located, the trunk wheel and the analog joystick for turning the head are very practical.

    A bit expensive, but does the job

    The principle of the throttle alone is interesting. The quality of the plastic is not exceptional, but the work is done.
    A plethora of buttons will be at your disposal, if your fingers are long enough to reach them (I have naturally quite small hands, so good). There is no switch though, which is a bit of a shame.
    The grip on the desk is good, so you can push the throttle relatively hard without having to reset everything.
    The TARGET software suite seems to act as an overlay for configurations by creating a virtual device. Personally, I couldn't get a working profile with my T16000M and the TWCS Throttle.
    To sum up: if you already have a joystick that you need a separate throttle and you don't want to import a product from somewhere, this is a good choice. Otherwise, boarf, you don't regret it and that's it.
