The EVO Omnidirectional Throttle is based on the Gladiator EVO series of joysticks. It ships with a Gladiator EVO base, choice of SCG Premium Left or Right Grip, and a preinstalled Omni Throttle Adapter (OTA). Gladiator EVO is compatible and retro-compatible across the whole GNX lineup.
Important: this version of the Omni Throttle can not be converted to a straight stick without adapter.

EVO Product line
I purchased the Omnithrottle left hand alongside a right hand NXT EVO Premium for space simulation. It was purchased as an upgrade from my previous H.O.T.A.S whuch was let's say, creaky and weak! I am blown away by the quality for the price. The plastic feels substantial and strong, the movements are smooth and there is not even a micron of drift that I can detect. The included spare parts are in abundance and you can tell that VKB build their equipment with the intent for it to last a long time and with consideration for the customer.
The software associated with the sticks is s little complex for a layman with it being rhe developer software. But... there are many tutorials online and in asking questions regarding programming custom features in to the sticks, I was replied to quickly and precisely on the VBK discord. So it really is a big advantage. Being able to make your sticks your own from obscure trim settings, curved and macro management to even adding in little elements like the LEDs rabidly flashing red and orange while I hold in the trigger. There really is the opportunity to make these sticks your own!
I will be purchasing VBK from now on for all my simulation needs.
I got the left-hand Omni for throttling my ships in Star Citizen. The features are so versatile! I have everything I need at my fingertips and it makes the game a joy to play!
Brought this to replace my Aging X52 Throttle and absolutely love the OMNI Throttle. Love being able to use it in Elite and started to use Flight Assist off then converting it to be a collective in MSFS. Would def recommend to others and becoming an ambassador on my Twitch account
Well I changed my throttle to the Gladiator EVO Omni Throttle and what can I say, it was the best move I could have made!
spot on. love it. exactly what i was after. well built. heap of buttons. smooth operation.
