The VKB Gunighter Mk4 is a premium product that works and feels great and VKB sim Australia were helpful and efficient.

Moving from a desk mounted HOTAS to a mounted setup has completely relaxed my shoulders and flying is a lot more fun

This is SUCH an upgrade from my last stick. The construction is amazing; It feels so good in hand.

This has made space combat so much easier. With all the degrees of freedom.

This throttle setup is an amazing addition to my space flight sims! It is smooth to use, SOOOOO many buttons and switches, but it is amazing.

Great throttle, very solid and well made. Once it arrived in Australia it was shipped very quickly. Australian customer support is excellent. Any questions were answered very quickly. VKB 10 out of 10.

I used the VKB Gladiator joystick to replace a mouse for Elite Dangerous, and I can accurately select the various minutiae of the ED interface and map system more efficiently than i could with my mouse. It is the most comfortable joystick I've ever owned, and I'm never going back.

this lets me go seamlessly from flight sim to space sim without losing any of my control options, fantastic alternative to the omni throttle and didn't even have to stress too much while rebinding as the stecs standard with the space grip has a very similar number of buttons and axis to the omni grip

Before purchasing the Gladiator EVO, I was using a Logitech Extreme Pro which was inherently instable due to its use of potentiometer and it also didn't a good job keeping its center position which made it very difficult to use it in a sensitive situation such as landing or performing tight maneuvers in flight sims.
Now with my new purchase, I'm super happy that I am able to maintain accurate input on my controls thanks to VKB's quality sensors and controller units.
Moreover, it comes in very handy that I'm able to modify the unit to my taste using the included kits such as tensions, weights and even the buttons.
Finally, being able to re-map / assign different functions to all 50+ buttons AND being able to save/load the configurations is just mind blowing.
I highly recommend this unit to anyone who is a serious flight simmer / gamer needing a professional touch in their setup. (Currently playing the following titles using this superb stick : X-Plane 12, MSFS, Elite Dangerous, Arma 3, etc.)

Very high quality unit but be aware it is physically high, and ideally needs to be mounted on a desk or chair mount.

It’s more detents for the STECS. Especially good if you have the Mini or Mini Plus, the latter being what I have, since those don’t come with these included. They do the job well, and of course the detent system if the STECS is well worth having these for hot swapping.

I had previously been using the Thrustmaster TWC throttle, which was basic and fine to start out on, but the sliding rods action would stick sometimes or just be inconsistent from 0 to 100.
The VKB STECS mini combined with the Gladiator stick was a significant step up for such a reasonable price. Great smooth action with a quality feel.

I came from a Saitek stick and was looking for a simpler and WWII style stick. I didn't need a plethora of buttons and hat controls as I use head tracking and my other peripherals for most aeroplane systems.
I had tried other makes of sticks that friends owned and didn't like the feel or the operation of them, but when I tried the VKB gladiator WWII that another friend owned I was convinced this was the stick I was looking for.
I was pleasantly surprised by the price as the gladiator feels, operates and has the build quality of sticks at a much higher price point.
I will definitely be looking at some more VKB gear. An added F14 stick seems to be calling to be in my future.

I've been using a set of two of these with the left in an omni throttle for about two weeks straight and I'm impressed, it's got some getting used to, I kept it default just to break it in and see what I'm dealing with and very happy with it. I think now I've gotten used to it with the out of the box setup I'm going to switch to a soft space axis and maybe stronger springs and this is fantastic because all of those things come in the box so whenever you feel it's no longer working for your setup you can change it, eventually when I get a full desk setup I really like that all the parts I need are pretty much here I'd have to get the stick extension but that's kind of a bonus because of how module this has been I'm happy that it's capable of being in almost any setup, so while it's just sitting on my desk, for now, knowing I can change it later without needing to really buy a whole new stick is why I gravitated towards these sticks and I didn't want to have like buyers remorse for going cheap now and having to buy again later so I just kinda went all in with what I could and am so pleased.

I've now been using this for two weeks straight, and thus far no issues whatsoever, the installation was the scariest part but I am a first-time user of anything like this. If it's your first time just heads up when installing the grip if you have to make adjustments when you take it out just be gentle as when I took mine off the grip's internal axis where it plugs in came out this thing has a strong hold on this and the other thing is if you have some wiggle when you move the throttle forward back left and right it's ok just tighten it a little more, mine was loose because I was worried I'd break it and the video said to be gentle and don't overtighten and I ended up under-tightening it so rest assured it's likely not a defect and you're being gentle like I was.
