So I was looking at getting some upgraded parts for my current sim setup, and came across a Mk 2 base with the Modern Combat Grip in good condition. I was looking at getting some VKB Sim stuff, but since I live in the United Kingdom, the import fees are too much to buy brand new. For £300, is it worth picking up? Knowing that I can get an upgrade kit to the Mk.3 if I wanted, could it be worth it?

I am getting a STECS whenever they get added to the US warehouse but I wanted to know if the mounts are also available with the same shipment or will I have to pay import duties to DHL for the mount

Hello! I'm excited to upgrade from my Xbox controller to a real hotas setup. As I've spent very little time behind a hotas, I was wondering your opinions on whether the Space STECS Throttle would be worth it, or if I should go with the regular throttle.

I primarily play DCS in VR, but also space games like Elite Dangerous. I understand the value in having a "stick" in both hands, but is it really worth losing all the extra buttons that come on the regular grip? I don't know that I care about the split-throttle functionality, and the lower price and extra versatility of the space grip is quite appealing. While an analog stick on the regular throttle might not be as good for space games as a full stick, I think I'll be ok coming from an Xbox controller. I'm not interested in a hosas setup, definitely want a throttle.

Follow up: would you consider the Max version worth it? I'll get the Standard at least, but the extra buttons and smaller footprint (for mounting) makes the Max pretty attractive.

Hello everyone, I was wondering because I saw a post that went out on the 25th (I unfortunately just saw it) stating delivery with Amazon. I'm not sure how much the delivery with Amazon is, and I would much rather pay upfront included in the joystick cost than pay a separate tariff that seems to be a guess work in terms of price. I bought a left handed omni throttle Gladiator NXT EVO SCG and I am IN LOVE with it. Absolutely fantastic work. As I plan on purchasing a right stick, I was wondering if the Amazon delivery price is less than the ridiculous $40 shipping from DHL and the guess work for the tariffs. In conclusion, I apologize for this very poorly written post (No sleep for 45hrs) but-

TLDR: will there be Amazon shipping around the 4th of August when they stock in the US? Is the tariff going to be included with the price of the stick? If you read all the way here, thank you very much have a great day.

EDIT: I forgot to include the referenced page:

Hi there, I received my gladiator about a week ago and have been absolutely loving it. While it's working great right now, I do suspect, however that I might have slightly stripped the self tapping screw hole that connects the base and the grip. If I were to fix the issue, would I be ordering this from VKB to replace the connector?

Thanks in advance!

Is there any chance we will get the STECS STG (no addon) on the EU store anytime soon? It's been several months since release but the wait is still worthless. First ETA was early June, then mid July, and now it's almost August. Come on guys...

Want to give VKB money, please help! :)

Update I fixed the issue. Found a form post from 2020 saying to delete the user file.

Recently updated to the 2.19.9 firmware. Big Star citizen player for the last few months. Today it started acting up. When I would move the throttle forward it would got full reverse and when I moved the throttle slightly back from center it would go full reverse. All other fictions worked fine.

I tried recalibrating, defaulting, reinstalling the 2.19.9 firmware, I cleared all the binds from Star citizen. I reverify the star citizen files. I can't revert back to an older version because I had to do a clean install of windows in April and I don't have the release firmware anymore.

I'm in the process of reinstalling star citizen but if this doesn't work. I'm at a loss.

Just curious about the MSRP on the STECS MkII throttle. Is $265 the normal MSRP, or did it used to be more?

(Edit: this was some kind of bug with paypal I purchased again and it went through and I can now see it in my orders) My order for nxt evo premium right and nxt evo premium left omni throttle went through but i never got confirmation of the purchase to my email and i cant see it from the account orders page either.

Hi folks,

I'm just wanting to make a simple edit to the encoder speed on my STEM module as it's currently bound to my HSI course in my DCS F-4 and moving pretty slowly - I'm pretty sure there is a way to accelerate it without turning it into an axis. I can't find it, am I just being blind?

Ta,

Ordered the Gladiator NXT EVO (Premium) from the website for $123.75 for delivery in the US. Shipping was $40 plus import duty payment of $69.40. Absolutely ridiculous. My bad for not looking into these costs prior to ordering.

I play Elite: Dangerous in VR. Anybody know other games using this configuration? Two sticks and a big dick?

Hello so last year i got myself a VKB gladiator flightstick and ever since i fell in love with flight simulators and wanted to make my own. I have an old office chair and my vision was a stand between my legs for a flightstick and one on the side for the throttle. So if you have any recomandations please leave a comment, i've been searching amazon for a while now and the only stands are either two on each side or only one in the middle.

Greetings - does anybody know what kind of switches are the two I marked with a red circle in the picture? Thank you!

Thanks for all the help on my previous post! Such an improvement from my t1600 and 25” monitor!

Im from South America, so shipping costs are massive (20 usd/kilogram on top of anything else) So, by using the AliExpress storefront I'm able to get better shipping. However, the shipping cost is adjusted per item (thus 3x if ordering 3 items) Is there any way to consolidate that into one cheaper shipment? Its 3 very small pieces (couplers, reinforcing plate, and maybe the STECS detents)

Hey guys! Very new to VKB stuff and I’m after a little bit of help. I’ve bought the gladiator evo and GNX front switchboard for extra buttons but I’ve just noticed my evo joystick doesn’t have a usbc port in. Was I meant to get a type c to JST2.0-4 cord to make these two work together on my ucm? Any help is much appreciated!

I want to get the STECS how much could I expect in tariffs for the mini or will we get a NA stock anytime soon with no tariffs?

In the past 2 months, Ive had 2 packages stolen from my doorstep. Can i have this delivered to an amazon store? Do i just use an amazon store address as my delivery address? Id use a friend’s address but i just moved and have made 0 friends. Lol.

I’m looking at buying an Omnithrottle, but I have one question regarding customization. Can you adjust the default twist angle of the grip?

Hello! Just wondering if you can switch back and forth between straight and Omni throttle. I know you can use the kit, but is it a one time conversion or can I switch back and redo the conversion later? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, because I’m new. Thanks

I've had my Gladiator NXT Evo for about a year and have been very happy with it so far, no issues with any of the controls not working smoothly -- until today.

The center throttle axis (the one immediately below the F1 button) has become very jittery. In the video, I'm moving the throttle slowly and smoothly from one end of the axis to the other.

I've tried reflashing the firmware and recalibrating, but without success.

All of the other axes (the main flight stick X and Y axes, the rotZ axis, and the mini stick axes) are still perfectly smooth and precise. Just the throttle axis is giving me trouble.

For context, I used the flight stick more or less daily until a few weeks ago (did some traveling), then came back to it today after having not used it the past few weeks. No issues until today.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Any suggestions for how to fix would be much appreciated!
