Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs are a gaming controller by Thrustmaster that replicate the MFD (multi-function device) panels of a F-16 fighter.

The panels are sold as a pair and each have their own USB connection. A total of eight MFDs per computer are supported.

The MFDs feature:

* adjustable lighting
* internal memory
* identification LEDs enabling you to tell the devices apart
* removable hinged bases
* adjustable "angle rods" to change the angle of the MFDs to the bases
* removable inserts for the displays of the MFDs
* clear plastic inserts (4)

The panels are 14cm x 14cm and 1.5 cm thick not including the bases, the bases are easily removed using two thumbscrews.

The panels are entirely plastic with a semi-gloss black finish for the panels and dark grey buttons with light grey text/squares on them.

Driver software is provided on a mini-CD supporting Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, however you'd be better served to check the [http://ts.thrustmaster Thrustmaster support site] for the latest version. The drivers install to C:\Program Files\Thrustmaster\Thrustmaster FFB Driver. The driver appears to be a multiple-device set of drivers for a range of Thrustmaster products, not including the Thrustmaster Cougar joystick. A new start menu folder under Thrustmaster is created called Force Feedback driver with a shortcut called Control Panel.

==The MFDs appear to Windows as a 28 button controller. There is no way to program them with the included software. To use them as programmable inputs use SVMapper.

==Possible problems==

There have been some reports of problems with the MFDs, the likely causes seem to be:
* use off unpowered USB hubs or USB power issues
* possible damage to the USB cable as it enters the bottom of the MFD due to excessive angle/bending

The Thrustmaster warranty is two years.
