Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Dual Throttles and Control Panel

It’s the best Throttle that’s easy to buy on this side of the pond. It’s not as sturdy as it’s paired stick but still decent build quality. Lots of buttons, good sensors. Plastic parts on the throttle are wobbly, some switches are a bit loose and the slew “nubbin” is less ideal than a thumb stick on the TWCS. Still, for half the price of what you can get from Virpil and without dealing with customs and a long wait time it’s a good buy.

As a replica of an A10 throttle this is definitely well built and useful, however the switches are difficult to set up for most other sim purpose’s which expect buttons rather than switches. With Joystick Gremlin I make it work but I usually prefer the VKB STECS.

The only thing I don't like about the Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle is that it lacks functionality found on the Saitek X-55 Rhino. There are as many toggle switches but fewer movements or things you can set up with each switch. However, unlike the X-55, this is Made to Last. It is really well built. I expect (and hope) to get several years out of this without any issues.

If you're looking for a high-fidelity throttle, and especially if you're going to fly the DCS A-10C/II, this is IT. It's accurate, durable (I'm about 2yrs in on mine), and well made (solid switches and steel construction). There are thrustmaster products that I wouldn't touch with a 10-ft pole (looking at you T-flight headset), but they got this one right.

If you are a serious simmer you need this! Precise control, plenty of buttons and switches, heavy duty and adjustable. Best peripheral I have bought in a long time and the best military style throttle I have ever owned.
