Gladiator EVO 'Space Combat Edition' Premium

The Gladiator EVO Premium is the basis of a modular VKB flight control system.

The 'Space Combat' grip is the most versatile of our grips and is equally suitable for flight and space simulation games.
With lots of buttons and axes you may configure the controller to your own personal needs and depending on the aircraft or spacecraft you fly.

    An amazing upgrade i should of done years ago...

    I had the original Saitek X52 since brand new and over the years the controller started to get a little flakey with some button presses or movement not registering so it was upgrade time. I am so happy with the Gladiator EVO. The buttons, 4-way and 8-way switches in the standard layout is just amazing. Everything feels well engineered and built well. The controller feels great and can be customized to however you like. It also comes with extra switches and buttons that you can change out to suite your needs. Also I have large hands and the EVO grip fits perfectly after removing the wrist guard on the side. Overall I am extremely happy with the purchase. I will be purchasing a Throttle soon to fully replace the X52 system.

    An amazing flight stick!

    I'm fairly new to sim flying, but wanted to get something to elevate my experience, and the VKB Gladiator Evo did that! It was a bit of fun to assemble, and then smooth sailing to install, configure and get flying. The precision of the stick is incredible and I would highly recommend it to anyone new or experienced to take their sim experience to the next level!

    Gladiator EVO 'Space Combat Edition' Premium

    This is leaps and bounds ahead of the logitech extreme 3dpro i was using. Love the extra buttons/toggles. Feels great to use. Bought both left and right units with the left omni adapter and pedals. A great investment for the price.
