    EVO - Really good kit at a really good price

    Construction is very good, operation is great, runs rings around Logitech products.

    Total control

    I have had a number of high end joysticks over the years, but hands down they have nailed this one. It just suits my style out of the box. The ability to change the springs to firm up one axis just changed the way I experience my games. love it!

    Bought this to replace a dead X52 Pro joystick. Was a bit reluctant due to the price, but speaking to others convinced me that it was worth it. And they were not wrong. Extremely happy.

    best stick I have owned

    I bought this product with the Gladiator EVO Omni throttle/ offset stick after trying out multiple HOTAS and HOSAS setups and it has worked a dream. the ease of calibration and setup along with the compatibility with most games makes this a great product.

    An amazing upgrade i should of done years ago...

    I had the original Saitek X52 since brand new and over the years the controller started to get a little flakey with some button presses or movement not registering so it was upgrade time. I am so happy with the Gladiator EVO. The buttons, 4-way and 8-way switches in the standard layout is just amazing. Everything feels well engineered and built well. The controller feels great and can be customized to however you like. It also comes with extra switches and buttons that you can change out to suite your needs. Also I have large hands and the EVO grip fits perfectly after removing the wrist guard on the side. Overall I am extremely happy with the purchase. I will be purchasing a Throttle soon to fully replace the X52 system.
