Gladiator NXT Premium; when to use the extras?

[Michael1234]

Hi, please excuse the newbie question. I just picked up this joystick to use with ms flight sim, and I'm wondering if I should swap the default a1 and c1 switches for the extras provided? What would be the motivation for changing them? Thanks!

Just run with it for a while before making any changes and see if you really need those changes

Thanks, thats definitely the plan. But I guess I'm just trying to understand what scenarios would warrant changing switches? The alternative a1 switch seems like a backwards step functionality wise?

Some people really like the gated HAT switches. Or usually play twitchy games like SWS, E:D or SC, where you don't really have time to change modes on buttons.
