Gladiator Controllers

Quality items with fast shipping Support was quick to respond and extremely helpful.

I bought the right hand EVO Omni Throttle as a gift for my partner who is really happy with it. I will be looking at buying the left hand one later in the year to complete the set.

Let me start with my only two complaints because that's what most of you will be looking for. I didn't buy it sooner and now I'm spending all my time playing with the buttons.

In all seriousness it is an amazing throttle. Not only is on par with other throttles cost wise but it in my opinion beats them for functionality and versatility. The Franky ludicrous amount of buttons/encoders/hats ect and the interchangeability of them to design the throttle however you want is something I was missing with other throttles. The detent system is amazing. I never thought I wanted the detents but now having them and seeing how easy they are to use and work with I could never go without. The build quality is as good if not better as any other mainstream throttle and it doesn't feel like I could break it even If I dropped it.

More importantly thank all of that, the VKB team seem to actually care about their customers and listen to them. This is not my first VKB product I also own the pedals, gunfighter and gladiator. The few problems I've had with the products the VKB team have been right there to help me within a day at the longest which is more valuable than any other aspect of their products.

I'd be surprised that the the STECS doesn't become THE sim throttle for DCS and similar games. I couldn't recommend this enough, even if you can't afford the standard get the mini, the option to upgrade in affordable steps is there and will only get better in the future.

Great button for expand my stecs mini plus just knew something stecs layout almost like su-35 if you a flanker fan and you buys stecs mini plus this great for you need more button 10/10

Was running the Saitek X-55 HOTAS system purchased in 2014.

First off holy hell buttons. Went from maybe 30ish to 80ish amazing for some of the more advanced games that exist in 2025. Being able to swap some of these buttons physically to the specification you want it also amazing. Having the Triggers front and back really nice.

Throttle are so much smoother than the X-55 they split easier for swapping between dcs and star citizen. These are just better hands down easy to adjust and respond well.

Detents - did not realize how much I need these in my life very handy for setting 0 point on star citizen throttle and afterburner in DCS.

Only criticism so far is the z-axis pot / thumbwheel cannot tell where middle point is without marking it with a permanent marker.

Learning the software is an on going process with lots of tutorials required.

Great product would recommend your getting a lot of value in this throttle.

Upgrading from a Saitek X-55 HOTAS system that I purchased in 2014. Quite a difference in quality as well as advanced customization of the gimble and software.

The ergonomics on the gunfighter are far better the X-55, the X55 hurt my trigger finger after several hours of shooting and my wrist also ached after several hours of use. None of the above happens with the gunfighter.

The ball mount X-55 which had major nose down stick drift maybe a year after owning it. Being able to replace or tighten parts of gimble I do not see this being a problem.

All buttons are accessible and feel natural. Software is a challenge to get your head around but very flexible and very customizable. It just requires some effort and tutorials to learn how to use.

All in all a great upgrade for anyone specially if your running an older stick. You get what you pay for and I feel at least so far this is a high quality product.

Replacement for my x55 Hotas and a definite step up in quality and performance, highly recommend.

This is a great stick. It is solid, with enough weight to not need to be bolted down - though it has the holes needed for that if desired. You get a lot with the stick, including different spring tensions, and you can modify and customize it to your tastes and needs out of the box.

It has three hats, and one of the hats can also be used as an analog hat. It has enough buttons for me to map everything I need and the twist axis makes all the difference.

I have been using it for Elite: Dangerous and it has changed my game, enabling me to flip into flight assist:off, while rotating, turning and strafing all at the same time.

Software allows for more customisation - and it just worked first time I plugged it in, which was very nice.

Great stick. Very happy with my purchase.

Really well made and unbelievable accuracy. The extension makes it even better.
So much hardware included. Customisation is unlimited.

This makes the immersion for me - real control in my hands - Thanks to all at Vkb (Really)

Quick delivery, great quality.

I received my Gladiator EVO 2weeks back and I love it. Awesome build quality. Easy assembly instructions. Love it.
