    Great WWII stick

    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.

    Fantastic Build Quality

    First flight sim joystick I have ever bought and I'm impressed. The build quality is great, it feels sturdy and robust, HAT switch feels a little flimsy but after further inspection is decently rigid. Overall i would definitely buy another if they had a left hand version.

We're always striving to provide top-notch products, so it's great to know that we've succeeded in that aspect. We'll definitely take note of your feedback regarding the HAT switch and consider it for future improvements. Thank you for your support and we hope to see you again soon. Happy flying!
