    Gladiator EVO - Very Happy

    The Gladiator EVO has replaced an old Logitech Extreme 3D. I'm getting into DCS and this is so much nicer to use. The precision is really good and I can make subtle inputs to the stick and see a smooth response from the flight sim.

    One point to note, I needed to update the firmware after I put the stick and the base together. The buttons on the stick didn't function otherwise. There's a technical support page on the VKB website with instructions.

    A massive improvement

    I bought this joystick after getting tired of continually recalibrating and battling drift/inaccuracy in a cheaper Thrustmaster stick. I read reviews suggesting you could afford to buy 5 or more replacement Thrustmaster sticks for the price of the Gladiator EVO, but that just means putting up with 5 or more inaccurate sticks ruining your gaming experience when it can be so much better with the EVO. I absolutely do not regret spending the extra money on the EVO - it feels so stable, with over-the-top button/switch options. There is a little bit of assembly to do, but there are good YouTube guides, and I did have to download the VKB config utility to unlock full functionality, but now it has really put the "joy" into "joystick".

    Brilliant...can't complain!

    Incredibly adjustable with really good software once you know how to work it. Up to 128 buttons (physical and incorporating a shift button) which makes assigning buttons difficult as there's a lot of choice, especially with a H.O.S.A.S/H.O.T.A.S (Omni throttle adapter). Great postage to N.Z and follow up. Also tonnes of online video instructions. Have fun!

    Hi Andrew,
    Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the flexibility and customization options of the Gladiator EVO 'Space Combat Edition' Premium. We understand that it can be overwhelming with so many buttons, but we're happy to hear that our software and online videos have helped you navigate it. We hope you continue to have fun with your new controller. Happy gaming!

    Best, VKB Spport team

    Good product let down by bundled cable

    Bought a pair of sticks for Star Citizen as an upgrade from T1600. Initial setup and calibration of the first went fine. The second device would not detect through Windows. A forum scan later showed this was not a new problem and a suggestion to change the USB cable led straight to the problem. Only one of the bundled cables was functional. This is why we keep all those extras from printers long since gone, but it did diminish the experience before even getting setup in game. Two weeks on and the sticks are now doing everything expected and feel positive in all axis of movement.
