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!
Hi Austin! Thank you for sharing your positive experience with the Nyogel 767A synthetic damping grease. We are thrilled to hear that it helped fix your Thrustmaster throttle and improved its performance. We are always happy to provide quality products to enhance your flying experience.
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.

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!

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.

I purchased the Gunfighter Mk.IV in late Jan 2024. The device is brillient quality, smooth, robust, and very accurate. VKB customer service made shipping very easy as I was out of town for a bit and they accomodated this and provided recommendations and options.
And, what I consider to be the best VKB feature, the software!! The software is second to none and gives you every option you could think of when it comes to setting up your device; I use the wheel brake lever in combination with my T-Rudder Mk.IV in order to use differential braking in DCS. The best part is that once you save the configuration to the blackbox, you do not need to run the software for it to do exactly as you desire.
VKB also has a discord server run by a community of enthusiatic consumers that are very helpful when it comes to getting into the functions of the software, and can help you with anything VKB related. Perhaps join the discord and chat to people before placing your order.
Where possible, I will remain purchasing VKB products due to every aspect of their hardware, software, customer service, and communications contributing to literally the best purchasing experience that I have ever had (I am not even slightly exaggerating).
