The modular design and small size allows seamless desktop integration and perfect cockpit mounting. Five grip variants are available that can be swapped on one common base.

Gunfighter Mk.IV base

New generation dry clutch
No stiction soft start, and extra smooth movement.

Swappable Springs and Cams
Multiple spring tension options.
Spring pre-tensioners provide more wide, yet precise control.
Exchangeable Avia and Space cams for progressive or linear tension profiles.

Blackbox Mk3
This is a new version of our powerful external controller. Increased frequency and on-board firmware algorithms drastically boost productivity. The Blackbox automatically detects connected devices and configures them.

New Grip to base connector type (Rev. C)
Its round shape allows rotation of the grip without the risk of damaging the contacts. Gold-plated contacts provide extended longevity.

Swappable grips
Grips can be swapped on one common base.

Stick extensions
For extra control precision stick extensions of 100mm and 200mm are available for all Gunfighter grips.
