Any joystick Gremlin Ninja's out there who can help?

I would like to hear from anybody who uses the axis merge "Maximum" functionality.

In practice how does this work? Is it basically "highest takes precedence"?

What I am looking to do is have one peripheral which would give me fine control for landing/docking in Elite Dangerous. (VKB Stecs space throttle) but also have a space grip set up for combat.

These are functionally the same set of axis (thruster) but obviously with different tensions set... (loose for combat to keep things fast, quite stiff for the landing/docking for fine tuned movement)

or am I over thinking it? Is there a better way in Gremlin? (like a mode switch which would inhibit the axis of one and activate the axis of another?)

Has anybody opened up the base of the Stecs throttles and can share some insight into how the throttle friction clutch works/is set up?

I have the Stecs Space Mini and am wondering if I should start thinking ahead to a moment where the friction adjustment just becomes that bit "too loose" and maintenance needs to be done or parts need to be swapped.

I've tried checking their website but so far haven't seen any spares for that part or any tutorials/manuals where the base part is stripped down.

(am waiting for a proper mounting plate for mine and in the meantime made the mistake of using some quality double sided adhesive tape... and that sucker is stuck fast for now so I can't quickly pop the bottom off to take a look myself)
