    For anyone thinking about "will the Gladiator EVO Flight Stick" cut it in Elite Dangerous?

    For anyone thinking about "will the Gladiator EVO Flight Stick" cut it in Elite Dangerous, just get it. I bought it (the Premium) primarily to use in Elite, and compared to my "Saitek 55 Hotas joystick," the difference is night and day. The array of buttons on the upper part of the stick is similar to the Saitek but the six others on the base (including a throttle) make it almost a mini hotas in itself. I've only had it for less than a week, but just the feel of the buttons and the gimbal, suggests it has been built to last. The fact that you get a kit of spare springs, of different tensions and spare buttons is all the more impressive. The only change I made was to replace the installed 20g gimbal springs with the supplied lighter 10g springs, which for me, makes the stick perfect for space combat in Elite. For the moment, I'm still using the tired old Saitek Throttle (with all its busted buttons) but will definitely pair the Gladiator with the STECS Standard Throttle as soon as I get some spare cash. For Elite Dangerous, at least, I couldn't recommend the Gladiator Premium enough.

    Great for space Sim

    I have been using this Joystick for 2-3 weeks and use it to play X 4 . The stick itself is very sturdy and the grip is comfortable. Assembly was easy using the You tube instructions and there are a lot of spared parts including springs allowing adjustment of tension. There a a multitude of buttons allowing customization of many functions. The buttons have a good quality feel to them. Overall I would recommend this product

    Finally a Great Joystick

    Have tried a few joysticks and controllers over the years but the precision and
    handling of the Gladiator Space Combat Grip coupled with the sensible button placement left the others in its wake. Package arrived quickly and contained all those little extras to truly make it customizable as my own.
    Great product VKB
