Moza MTQ Throttle review: perfect all-rounder or too many compromises?

If your flight sim habits are completely chaotic, finding a throttle quadrant that fits your changing styles without breaking the bank or taking up your entire desk has been next to impossible. One day you are managing managed guidance at flight level 380 in an airliner, and the next you are tearing through canyons at Mach 2 in an F/A-18 Hornet.

Enter the Moza MTQ Throttle Quadrant. Featuring four independent precision axes, 23 physical controls, and an interchangeable lever system for fighter, Airbus, and Boeing flight styles, this system aims to be the ultimate space-saving modular powerhouse for flight simulation.

In this deep-dive hardware review and technical setup tutorial, we put the Moza MTQ through its paces. We bypass the marketing scripts to look at how the modular swap works, highlight why a secure connection to the base is critical for button detection, and guide you step-by-step through the Moza Cockpit software to avoid calibration headaches and firmware update freezes.

Crucially, we jump into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to tackle two grueling test flights:

Commercial Airliner (FlyByWire A320): Setting up reverse thrust axis control, configuring autopilot rotary bindings, and tuning the Airbus detent feel.

Fighter Jet (Boeing F/A-18 Hornet): Testing mechanical afterburner detents, configuring dual-engine tracking, and mapping combat hats under pressure.

Because the Moza MTQ requires careful separate profile creation in MSFS 2024 to prevent overwriting your main joystick layouts, I have exported my custom, flight-tested A320 and F/A-18 XML control profiles directly to my repository below to save you hours of manual trial-and-error.
