Excellent addition to my sim controller selection. Now I just need to get some mounts and learn how to use the config app better.

Solid as steel

A short, modular and adjustable metal frame perfect for my current/future desk to help step forward to my Flight Sim cockpit.

Only hit it a few times and hasn't moved its solid

Can't wait to explore how to customise them in future

Perfect in every way

Serious Throttle

Got the STECS Max and I've been really impressed with it. The hardware is really well built and solid, and the swappable detents is such a great feature making it easy to swap when you jump into another plane. The other awesome feature is the software that it comes with (and the videos to show you how to get started). It turns the STECS into whatever you want, making this system a truly customizable throttle with more buttons and axis than you would ever need. I mounted it with the appropriate VKB mount, and the combination is an absolute winner and worth every $.

Perfect Mount

I got this to go with the STECS MAX and I'm glad I did. This mount is substantial and mounts to the desk really well. Yes its pricey but you really do get what you pay for. Mount can be adjusted in many ways to ensure that the STECS is exactly where you want it to be and it will not move from there.
Came well packaged and protected and with more than enough spare parts for future needs.
Delivery to NZ was 6 days which is impressive and welcomed!

Premium product at an affordable price point

The VKB Gladiator nxt evo is a wonderful joystick that comes with a lot of buttons and lot of controls.
The axis are very smooth and assembly was smooth as well. Whatever you need is in the box, its a one stop shop.

Would suggest this to anyone passing by. Bought it from India, would love to promote it among the Indian flight sim communities since i now have a good idea about the charges etc. Would love to try the STECS and review it asap 👊🏼 We have a closed simming community with over 70 members and this was the first purchase 🎉. Would really want to try the STECS.

However i have one complain, when motion in both x and y axes are involved, youll feel a tug. Seems like the spring strength are not the equal maybe.. not sure, still need to experiment and reach a sweet point.

Amazing value

This stick is smooth, packed with buttons and hats, and feels incredibly good in the hand. I spent years playing with an entry level stick from probably the most widely available manufacturer (you know who I'm talking about) and had various issues including twist axis drift and a crunchy gimbal, among other less noticeable ones. This stick represents such incredible bang for your buck, and what I hope to be considerable longevity vs cup-and-ball gimballed sticks. Even for new players who may just be getting into flying with HOTAS or HOSAS, this is a great value purchase.

Excellent Sticks - Great Service

I bought a left and right hand pair of these for Star Citizen. These are a massive upgrade from the sticks i had previously. Well packaged and super easy to assemble. I've been happy with the setup out of the box and found the buttons and hats are well positioned and feel great. Fair price and delivered to New Zealand within a week. Nice job VKB-SIM Australia. I highly recommend these sticks.

WKB is the best - better than anything out there

This is an amazing piece of kit. The quality is outstanding. The developers have not spared anything, and the quality you feel from it's use out-compares all of it's competitiors.
I can't play IL-2 without this throttle. It's an amazing piece of kit (with tons of buttons, on the stick alone)
10/10 for an amazing piece of kit, and the best support team I've ever worked with.

I have 2 buttons that need to be replaced. I asked how to return them for warranty and you want me to take videos and pics of the issues?
Do you think I really want to return these for the fun of it? What kind of warranty policy is that?
I will NOT be recommending you to any of my discord friends.

Best flight stick for the price, period

Are you kidding me? This is THE best peripheral i have ever felt and used. I've used my friends >300 AUD mechanical kb, a logitech x56, etc, this is the smoothest, most robust peripheral i have, the dry clutches + gimbal make it so seamless to use. Fits like a glove, you can tell it was made by enthusiasts

T-Rudder Mk.V Pedals
Donovan Combrinck
VKB kit. Excellent

Replaced my Saitek Pro rudder pedals with the t-rudder. What a difference. Absolutely love the t-rudder. Do not really miss the toe brakes all that much, but would buy VKB rudder with toe brakes without hesitation. (Hint hint VKB)

Hi Donovan,

We are constantly working to improve our products and appreciate your suggestion for VKB rudder with toe brakes. We'll definitely keep that in mind for future developments. Happy flying!

The same as my review with the throttle quadrant.

This joystick is great, feels awesome in the hand, has good weight to it. Doesn't feel like a controller for a video console, it literally feels like the joy stick of and aircraft.

Can customise the grip height, depending on hand size, which is genius.

You guys are fantastic thanks for producing such a awesome piece of kit.

15 hours

15 hours and absolutely loving this unit the more I use it.

The quality is utterly unmatchable.
Love the billet finishes to the metal exterior.

Still trying to understand and explore the switches and dial wheels. Can be overwhelming at first, but with the YouTube tutorials available I'm sure I'll work it out.

Currently flying an Airbus A320/321 on MFSF and switching over to the heavy lift F18 on DCS.

This throttle system is fantastic.
Great product and highly recommend 👌🏼
