Customer Reviews
I'm really enjoying using my VKB Gladiator EVOs. I've got Omni left and premium right. I use these for Star Citizen and its fantastic. Check out Subliminal or BuzzKiller on Youtube for Bindings etc . Great job VKB! I'm really happy with your products and I will definitely recommend them to all
This thing is solid and precise. Now I can actually fly my favourites in dcs and not look like someone let a snake loose in the cockpit. I love it.
The quality and accuracy of this stick is second to none, plus the ability to get replacement modules included and different lubricants online is an absolute steal! The only downside to this stick would be its plastic construct which can seem cheap however it isin't cheap plastic, that's for sure. It has extremely good build quality for it being plastic and I couldn't recommend this more to any sim enthusiast.
The quality of the HOTAS is great, it has smooth control and a good amount of functionality on the stick, the base however doesnt have a whole lot in terms of buttons which if you have the STECS mini it may be a problem if you dont like reaching for your keyboard constantly and the next best thing cost 3x the amount. It also doesn’t use a gimble type mechanism so it has what I call ‘grooves’ on the vertical and horizontal axis’s where it needs extra force to move the stick perpendicular to the direction it already is, for example going full left to left with pitch down (stick up) rather than being the same resistance all around the stick making it hard to formation flight or to complete aerial refuelling but it is something you will get used to.
