Key features
- 1:1 replica of the Viper TQS
- Officially licensed by the U.S. Air Force
- Metal handle casing and buttons
- 64 action buttons and 6 axes
- Idle/Cutoff and Afterburner detents

Legendary flight kinematics
The throttle faithfully reproduces the Viper's mechanical movement along its axis, with smooth travel on metal bearings. Its legacy axis rail gives access to Idle/Cutoff and Afterburner detents via mechanical levers and handle rotation.
You can also switch to a 100% linear axis.
Firm, precise travel
Adjustable friction gives firm, linear travel with no dead zones. Die-cast metal construction keeps the friction constant over time.
The throttle axis uses Thrustmaster's H.E.A.R.T magnetic sensor for 16-bit precision.
Dogfight controls
The TQS has metal control knobs, a CHAFF/FLARE slap switch for countermeasures and blackout switches for immersion. You get 43 metal action buttons, including 11 virtual buttons, a trim wheel, MODE and PGRM rotary selectors on the CMDS panel, plus jettison, laser, jammer and weapon launch switches.
Backlit Viper Panel
The Viper Panel replicates the landing gear controls and TWA (Threat Warning Aux) panel, with adjustable backlit indicator lights.
On PC, the free T.A.R.G.E.T software lets you combine Thrustmaster devices. Add the Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP) for rudder control, and browse our throttles for more.
Our expert take
"The Viper TQS Mission Pack is built for serious F-16 pilots in DCS. The metal handle, proper Idle/Cutoff and Afterburner detents and the slap switch give it a level of authenticity that generic throttles cannot match."
"It is a specialist throttle designed around the Viper, so it is not the most natural fit for airliners. You will also need a stick, and it is PC only. See our flight simulator controls for more."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
