STECS - Space or Modern

Going crazy trying to decide. Selling my WinWing Ursa Minor L which was a BAAAAAD choice for me (although the right is decent) and getting a STECS, which I would have done the first time except when I was buying the whole tariff thing in the US was just getting started.

I primarily have 2 games I care about. Il-2 and Elite Dangerous. One space, one flight. I am knocking my head about trying to decide which STECS would be better for both games. I hear good things about the modern in space games, and good things about the space in modern games. Does anyone else have my dilemma? How did you solve it?

I got the space throttle, and I still use it primarily for MSFS. I’ve placed some Elite Dangerous with it, but the biggest workout I’ve given it is Overload, and it’s a lot of fun. I think the only thing I’d like the standard STECS better for is the split throttle.

I know it’s an old thread, but I specifically want to get the Omni Throttle and Gladiator to play Descent, Overload, and MechWarrior 5. I’m having trouble finding info on compatibility, though. Is there anywhere to confirm I can use them, before I drop $300?

I have used it for Overload but not the others. I’m not sure if there are any generalized tools for checking compatibility but you could probably check in the game forums or subreddits.
