## At a glance

- The 21-button layout includes two triggers, two hat switches, a ministick and a thumbwheel for assigning flight-simulation controls.
- The listing specifies H.E.A.R.T. 16-bit accuracy including the Z-axis, and says the Z-axis and two virtual axes use magnetic sensors.
- Interchangeable hand and thumb rests are described as adaptable for either hand.
- Two STAR cams are supplied to modify the grip's axis curve when used with an AVA base.

## Pros

- A broad set of controls is built into the grip, including a dual-position trigger, according to the product description.
- The ambidextrous hand and thumb rests offer options for left- or right-hand use.
- The listing states compatibility with AVA and Sol-R bases, with limited Warthog-base compatibility when used with a Warthog Converter.

## Cons

- It is a grip add-on rather than a complete joystick setup, so a compatible base is needed and sold separately.

## Before you buy

- The grip is optimised for AVA and Sol-R bases. Warthog compatibility is described as limited and requires a separately sold Warthog Converter. The backlit ministick is stated to work on AVA and Sol-R bases.

## A good fit for

- PC space and combat simulation players who already own a compatible AVA or Sol-R base.
- Buyers wanting numerous assignable controls and a built-in Z-axis on a detachable grip.
- Left- or right-handed users who want interchangeable hand and thumb rests.

## Less suited to

- Anyone needing a complete joystick and base in one purchase.
- Buyers without an AVA or Sol-R base who do not want to check the separately stated, limited Warthog option.

## Customer feedback

Only aggregate rating information is supplied, with a small number of ratings and a split between five-star and one-star responses. This gives a mixed, limited signal and does not explain the reasons behind ratings. Consider it alongside the stated 21-button layout and base requirements, which determine whether the grip fits your setup.
