The Gladiator NXT Evo is fantastic. Well priced for the quality of product. I upgraded from a Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4 and it's miles better! The SCG grip feels premium and works a treat with both Star Citizen and MSFS 24 - paired with the STECS Space Grip (STS).
Would definitely recommend!
Excellent! I'm using the STECS STS for Star Citizen and it works a treat. love that I can use the throttle's Y axis as normal, then have the strafe up and down control the ship's movement. I've paired the STECS with a Gladiator NXT Evo and it's perfect!
The STECS also works great for MSFS 24.
That's the reason I got the STS version so I could use the STECS with space flight and aviation.
I chose the EVO F-14 Combat Edition throttle mainly for DCS, but also for MS2024. It's been a joy from the get go, and an amazingly high-quality stick for the price.
I chose the STECS throttle after considerable research, and have been duly amazed at the quality, feel and functionality of the throttle quadrant. More buttons and functions than I know what to do with (lol), and the amazingly solid and progressive feel of the throttles themselves has been a revelation.
After a lot of research and comparision among other available HOATS, decided to go with VKB Gladiator EVO. The modular design, easy to assemble are plus points on this. Sleek, robust and premium quality nothing less than expected!
They also have the official YouTube channel where all the resources are available to help in assembling and key binding for MSFS 2024.
Thank you VKB, couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase.
This has completely changed my experience playing space simulators coming from a HOTAS. this omni grip paired with a right hand stick to create a HOSAS setup is paramount when navigating a 6 dimensional space and can easily be configured to work as a throttle for flight sim as well.
There is no going back to HOTAS or a standard vertical left hand stick the difference is night and day i only wish there was an option for a scroll wheel type button instead of a HAT switch even if it replaced the analogue stick.
I am extremely happy and have 0 regrets for going all in on VKB for my flight sim setup. I upgraded from an older T16000m TWCS setup and I am honestly in awesome of the build quality of VKB products.
I have had 0 issues with anything so far and feel like I've made the right choice. This bundle was the core of my setup but I also included the GNX Sem Vertical and FSM-GA to build my setup.
Very handy component and was essential for me in order to connect my GNX modules to my PC. Is a lot easier to install inside modules than it looks.
Not much to say. Does what it says and does it well. Combines well with the phone holder mount (as i did).
Not much to say other than its a solid holder. Not just for phones but also tablets and can be combined with a keyboard holder to allow it to securely hold keyboards (as I did).
Solid Button Box. Made from a very sturdy plastic and buttons feel tactile and responsive. Have it attached to my UCM Long - Gunfighter base. Admittedly have less use for it in DCS (still have a few binds on it regardless) but very useful in MSFS 2024.
Super useful cable. Allowed me to position my GNX Sem Vertical button on my left UCM S mount and daisy chain it to my STECs throttle (with ATEM attached) and STEM unit. See attached photos for reference.
Very impressed with this module. Has an impressive amount of buttons and I love how highly customisable it is. It came with extra axes that can be swapped in to give the flaps and landing gear levers extra or fewer positions to lock in. Not to mention the software is very useful in tweaking it to your liking!
Upgraded from a buggy and dying Logitech X56 and the difference in feel, build quality, and precision is huge. Appreciate the repairability and it just works with no ghost, jerky or random inputs.
Very happy with build quality, coming from an x52 this feels and responds much more firmly. Amount of extra controls/hats on the stick and customisation via VKB software is excellent as well.
Got this because I play both Space and regular combat flight sims. Was very happy with the build quality and the adjustability of every contrl axis.
Was a little worried that the X/Y axis on the handle would be awkward to handle while in a non-space game, but it's trivial to adjust the dampeners on those springs which effectively locks them down so it can function as a solid handle.
Upgraded from a Logitech x52 and very happy, absolutely worth the price.
Being able to use the THQ without it being attached to the sticks is nice.
The default setup is pretty balanced but you have prenty of options and parts to fine tune the stick just the way you want it. I have large hands, so I removed the palm rest spacer, set up the axis with the amount of spring and clutch I wanted. All the triggers, hats, toggles and sliders you could want.
Great for storing my extra buttons, didnt realise that the accessory magazine came with the button kit, so now i have two!
Supper happy with these. I really thought the green grip handles were cool and bought for that reason, but also lets me have spares if I ever need them.
An essential for upgrading my STECS mini+ into a STECS max.Easy to assemble, and helps provide a sturdy frame.
Great for providing customisation to the button layout on the STECS, and allowed me to remove some buttons i was not a big fan of.
Super happy with the STEM module, got it so I could upgrade my STECS mini + into a STECS max, and im loving the extra buttons. I was initially worried about how i would reach the buttons, but when the trottle is at / near max throttle, it is easy to rest your arm on to acces the button pannel behind. WOuld reccomend it to those who are thinking about upgrading !
