Orbital Controls lists sticks, throttles, pedal sets and panels for space sims. We put their specs in the same format, track what each retailer is charging, and say where every spec and verdict came from. We don't test hardware ourselves.
The charter
1. Every part, same format
We pull specs from each maker's own data and put them in one format, so a VKB and a Thrustmaster read the same way.
2. Prices watched, history kept
We check every retailer we track and keep the full price history, so you can see whether a sale price is actually low.
3. Rank is never for sale
Affiliate links keep the lights on. They never move a part up the list.
4. Every claim has a source
Each spec, opinion and verdict is labeled with where it came from: the maker, an owner, or an outside reviewer. We don't claim tests we haven't run.
How a part gets listed
- Specs: Taken from maker sheets and manuals. If a maker leaves a field out or contradicts itself, we mark it unconfirmed instead of guessing.
- Fit: Which grips go on which bases, which mounts and adapters work, and which games support it.
- Price: What each retailer was asking at our last check, plus price history as we collect it.
- Field reports: Links to reviews from pilots and reviewers we trust, each summed up in a line.

Some links earn us a commission at no cost to you. That money funds the site and never changes rankings.
