Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle Black USB Joystick Analogue PC

TWCS throttle with S.M.A.R.T technology provides a smooth sliding motion over a 3.2 inch (80 mm) travel range for precise throttle control. The unit offers 5 (+3) axes configuration: one throttle axis, a 2-axis mini-stick, a manual toggle rudder, a rotary antenna control and a connector for an optional external 3-axis TFRP rudder. The throttle is part of Thrustmaster's flight simulation ecosystem and supports advanced mapping with T.A.R.G.E.T software.

Advantages

S.M.A.R.T slide rails deliver consistent, comfortable and precise throttle movement with an adjustable tension screw to set resistance. The controller includes a wide set of controls—14 action buttons, two 4-way hat switches, an 8-way Point of View hat, a push mini-stick, a 2-position slider and a rotary wheel—allowing versatile configuration for flight and space simulation. Ready for cockpit mounting with two M6 threads and four rubber feet for desk stability. The design supports external TFRP rudder pedals and integrates with other Thrustmaster flight peripherals.

Key specifications

• Mounting: 2 × M6 screw threads for cockpit mounting; 4 rubber foot pads for desk stability
• Compatibility: part of Thrustmaster flight product ecosystem; supports T.A.R.G.E.T programming software

How to use

Install the TWCS throttle on a desk or cockpit using the M6 mounting threads or place it on the rubber feet for desktop use. Connect via USB and, if desired, attach optional TFRP rudder via the dedicated connector. Adjust the tension screw on the underside to set the S.M.A.R.T mechanism resistance to your preference. Map controls in-game or create custom profiles using Thrustmaster's T.A.R.G.E.T software to combine devices and assign functions such as elevation, strafing or slew control to the mini-stick and other inputs.

Recommendations

For optimal setup, pair the TWCS throttle with Thrustmaster FCS flight stick and TFRP rudder pedals for a complete flight control system. Use T.A.R.G.E.T software to centralize device mappings and create game-specific profiles. The optional external TFRP rudder is sold separately.
