The ability to add the modules is fantastic as they aren't massive and still allows me to have the keyboard and mouse without taking up too much room as other brands.

this module is I believe a must have for your game play. comes in handy with star citizen and flight sims and doesn't use up too must of your desk real estate!

best money i've spent over having HOTAS with millions of switches and constant knuckle hits whilst throttling due to being so close together!

awesome joystick, using for star citizen and other flight games. much better than my old premium joystick. no issues with ghosting or random buttons being pressed. much more compact and heavy to stop joystick from flipping without being screwed down. i can be quick violent with the stick in dog fights and haven't had to gold the base down like other joysticks in same price range. the ability to add the modules is fantastic as they aren't massive and still allows me to have the keyboard and mouse without taking up too much room as other brands

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

Totally dismantled the TWCS so I could access the steel rods that needed cleaning and to apply the Nyogel 767A. Went from a useless Throttle to totally excellent.

Why are you wasting your time reading this review? Just buy it already! Let’s face it, you already know that VKB make high quality gear, you’ve got an nice stick or throttle, and are trying decide if you want it secured to your desk instead of balancing precariously on your lap. This will attach very well to your desk, without any flex, wobble or otherwise annoying things that could happen if you used something else. Highly recommended, I just wish my employment was as secure as this mount so I could buy some more.

Love them

Fixing a eject mechanism in a vintage Sanyo cassette deck only to find all the special grease to dampen the door opening had leaked out over the decades. One cannot use any old grease either.
This product however fitted the bill for replacement. Used very little of it but successfully restored the soft eject! Thanks again.

Since I recently found myself heavily back into flight sims, a quality HOTAS that wouldn't break the bank was high on the list of things I "needed". I wanted something with a solid build quality, flexible to not tie me down to a single game or airframe, and something that I could build on when I need to extend. Everything I read and watched about VKB range told me that this would be the right choice, and it was absolutely correct.

After starting with a Gladiator EVO, I knew that the STECS was next on the list. I had trouble deciding between the Standard and the Max, ultimately going with the Max as I preferred the layout with the STEM on the MFH and I wanted the additional buttons of the ATEM. Ordering and shipping the STECS was a cinch, and having VKB in Australia meant that I had the box in my excited hands the same week.

Putting the STECS Max together was easy enough - the only videos I could find for the build were from upgrading from the Mini to the Max, but it was easy enough to identify which screws went where. The build quality is rock solid, and with the weight of the unit it takes a fair amount of force to accidentally shift this around. I've swapped around a number of the replaceable switches and that process couldn't be more straightforward - just remember to recalibrate the unit to save the facepalm I had to give myself.

The switches, levers, buttons and knobs are tactile and let you know when they've been pushed. The throttle levers themselves are a joy to use, responsive and smooth, and I find myself playing with them when sitting at my desk even without a game running. The detents are easy to setup and swap out. The VKBdev software to set these up takes a little getting used to, but is easy enough to get used to with some experience.

There are two things that I have minor gripes with, and these are the same as I see from other people - the hat on the thumbstick, and the thumbwheel. Both of these are uncomfortable to use, particularly the thumbwheel, and the design on the thumbstick hat makes it hard to depress. I've swapped these out myself for 3d printed replacements with minimum fuss, and they don't overly detract from the great quality of the rest of the unit.

I love my STECS, and I'm glad I saved the extra to get the Max. The layout suits my gaming and desk setup, and I have even more buttons that I can find a use for. If you can afford the extra and have the space, the STECS Max is definitely the way to go. Next on my list are the UCM mounts so that I can continue building my sim rig and annoy my wife even more!

Construction is very good, operation is great, runs rings around Logitech products.

"When I started looking for desk mounts, I compared a few options, including the Monster Tech builds and VKB’s offerings. In the end, I’m really glad I chose VKB. The standout features for me were the adjustability and the angled design, which give me the exact positioning I need. Living in Australia, I also had to consider shipping costs, and VKB’s rates were more reasonable. While I thought about building my own with 80/20 materials, the precise adjustability and angle on the VKB mounts make them worth every penny. I’d make the same choice again without a second thought!"

I have had a number of high end joysticks over the years, but hands down they have nailed this one. It just suits my style out of the box. The ability to change the springs to firm up one axis just changed the way I experience my games. love it!

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!

Bought this to replace a dead X52 Pro joystick. Was a bit reluctant due to the price, but speaking to others convinced me that it was worth it. And they were not wrong. Extremely happy.

spot on. love it. exactly what i was after. well built. heap of buttons. smooth operation.

I needed more buttons for my Dual gladiators, and when one SEM module doesn't cut it, you need two. But where to put said module? Bam, the MFH is surprisingly sturdy and easy to assemble. It keeps room for the omni throttle while still being within easy reach of the buttons.

I bought this product with the Gladiator EVO Omni throttle/ offset stick after trying out multiple HOTAS and HOSAS setups and it has worked a dream. the ease of calibration and setup along with the compatibility with most games makes this a great product.

After trying out multiple HOTAS and HOSAS setups the Gladiator EVO Omni throttle has been the best so far. the ability to lock axis to use exclusively as a throttle or the option to use as an offset stick is perfect for multiple configuration styles. I highly recommend.

This is an amazing joystick! It feels amazing, there is heaps of customization with the springs and so many buttons. I found this definitely worth the price.

I recently upgraded my left/throttle stick with the Omni Throttle Adaptor and boy I'm glad I did. Having my throttle hand in this position just feels right and I find it easier to fly for longer periods of time without wrist strain. The buttons and hats seem easier to reach. it actually feels like a much bigger upgrade than the reasonably low cost would suggest.
The service from VKB-SIM Australia was excellent. Shipping to NZ was quick and painless. The installation instructions were easy to follow and I was back up and flying in no time.
Once again I'm super impressed with VKB gear. The build quality. performance and level of emersion VKB gear provides really is impressive. I highly recommend anyone considering buying the OTA, just pull the trigger and buy it. I'm 100% certain most people will freaking love it.

Nice product excelent service.

I have a cheap thrustmaster throttle that was lumpy and difficult to fly with, removing the factory grease and replacing with neogel transformed it and made it almost a precision instrument!

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.

Bought the GNX THQ alongside the Gladiator Evo flight stick and it's really upped the immersion by being able to manage several flight controls all at once. Solid build quality and easy to get going, definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to take their sim experience to the next level.

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!
