Customer Reviews
The VKB Gladiator EVO Omni Throttle in left-handed configuration has completely transformed my space sim sessions in Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous—it's like strapping into a real cockpit with its intuitive 6DOF thruster control that lets me strafe, yaw, and pitch with effortless precision. The premium SCG grip feels rock-solid and ergonomic in my left hand, with customizable springs and VKB's robust software dialing in just the right tension without any dead zones or slop. Assembly was a breeze (under 10 minutes with included tools), and its durable metal build stays planted during intense dogfights, no desk wobbles here. For anyone ditching clunky traditional throttles, this is a game-changer that reignited my passion for flight sims—highly recommend!
Great quality and customisation.
Heavy enough to stay put in intense dogfights without mounting.

The canted grip makes it much more intuitive for ascend/descend thrusters.
The build quality of VKB is next level. Putting it together from the box felt right and left me feeling a level of satisfaction usually reserved for DIY projects (but it was also really easy).
Theres enough buttons to bind to secondary functions you need and they are all responsive. It feels good in the hand.
