Description
The MOZA MTQ Throttle Panel is a modular flight control system built for pilots who crave tactile engagement and mechanical precision in every throttle movement. With its modular throttle lever system and versatile control layout, it transforms any flight sim setup into a cockpit-grade experience. The satisfying detents, metal construction, and customizable RGB lighting give each lever a purposeful feel—whether you’re spooling up engines in an Airbus or arming afterburners in a fighter jet. It’s mechanical satisfaction married with functional versatility.
What Sets the MOZA MTQ Throttle Panel apart?
-
Authentic Modular Lever Experience — Unlike fixed throttles, the MTQ allows pilots to swap between Airbus, Boeing, and fighter jet lever styles using a rail-based mounting system. Each lever delivers its own mechanical detents, letting users feel the transition points like reverse thrust engagement or afterburner locks. The tactile precision of these detents has been widely praised by sim pilots for bringing physical clarity to throttle control.
-
Ergonomic Layout with Purposeful Design — The control surface features 10 buttons, 3 rotary knobs, and 3 toggle switches, all placed within natural hand zones. Enthusiasts appreciate how it avoids clutter, offering intuitive access to key flight functions without breaking focus. The addition of a dedicated landing gear lever adds realism and makes transitions between phases of flight smoother and more instinctive.
-
Customizable RGB and Software Integration — The MOZA Cockpit software gives full control over RGB brightness, color logic, and telemetry-based lighting effects. Feedback suggests the lighting not only looks stunning in a dim cockpit but can be programmed to reflect flight states like gear position or throttle detent zones, turning illumination into functional feedback rather than mere decoration.
-
Mechanical Feedback Across Multiple Axes — The MTQ features four axes, each offering unique tactile detents for functions like flaps and speedbrakes. The feel of each axis has been tuned for different resistance levels, and the virtual button detent on the speedbrake arm adds a satisfying click at deployment. Pilots find the consistency across axes makes this panel equally at home in commercial, military, and general aviation setups.

The MOZA MTQ Throttle Panel connects directly to MOZA flight bases via RJ11, reducing cable clutter and ensuring low-latency communication. Its modular lever design makes it compatible with the TQF, TQA, and TQB throttle variants, each designed for specific aircraft styles. While primarily built for the MOZA ecosystem, users have noted limited compatibility with third-party systems—often requiring adapter solutions or custom mapping. The MTQ integrates seamlessly with aluminum cockpit frames and modular rigs thanks to its stable, mount-friendly base.
On the software side, the MTQ works hand-in-hand with MOZA Cockpit software and integrates directly with popular flight simulation titles such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024, X-Plane 11/12, and DCS World. It is fully compatible with Windows PCs, but not supported on console systems such as Xbox or PlayStation. With its modular approach and wide in-sim compatibility, the MTQ is built to suit any PC pilot who demands both flexibility and mechanical refinement.
