EVO Product line
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.
Perfect. Down to the last minute detail.
I have 0 issues with the product although it is a little pricey. But well worth it for what I needed it for,
Thank you for leaving a review for our Gladiator EVO 'Space Combat Edition' Premium. We are thrilled to hear that you found it perfect in every way and that you have had zero issues with it. We understand that it may be a bit pricey, but we are glad to hear that it was well worth it for your needs. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it continues to serve you well.
The VKB Gladiator nxt evo is a wonderful joystick that comes with a lot of buttons and lot of controls.
The axis are very smooth and assembly was smooth as well. Whatever you need is in the box, its a one stop shop.
Would suggest this to anyone passing by. Bought it from India, would love to promote it among the Indian flight sim communities since i now have a good idea about the charges etc. Would love to try the STECS and review it asap 👊🏼 We have a closed simming community with over 70 members and this was the first purchase 🎉. Would really want to try the STECS.
However i have one complain, when motion in both x and y axes are involved, youll feel a tug. Seems like the spring strength are not the equal maybe.. not sure, still need to experiment and reach a sweet point.
This stick is smooth, packed with buttons and hats, and feels incredibly good in the hand. I spent years playing with an entry level stick from probably the most widely available manufacturer (you know who I'm talking about) and had various issues including twist axis drift and a crunchy gimbal, among other less noticeable ones. This stick represents such incredible bang for your buck, and what I hope to be considerable longevity vs cup-and-ball gimballed sticks. Even for new players who may just be getting into flying with HOTAS or HOSAS, this is a great value purchase.
