EVO Product line
Fantastic product. Straight foward assembly and easy to follow set up videos. I bought this stick to see if I would get into the flight sim hobby. I originally looked into various cheaper options as an entry point, but found other reviews were very clear that "you get what you pay for".
It's only a matter of time before I order more vkb products to add to this stick. 10/10 would buy again.
Easy to setup and use feels very smooth and it’s at a great price I’m very happy
This is my first proper flight stick and honestly I'm really impressed with it. I've been using it alongside the Omni Throttle for helicopters and space combat games.
The stick feels solid, the movement is smooth and precise and there's a heap of buttons, hats and controls to customise. The Premium version was definitely worth getting for the extra controls.
There's a bit of a learning curve if you're coming from a controller or keyboard and mouse, and getting all the bindings set up can be a pain depending on the game, but that's not really a fault of the stick itself.
I've been having a blast learning to fly with it and I'm looking forward to eventually using it in Star Citizen as well. Definitely happy with my purchase.
I’m pretty new to HOTAS and flight sticks, so I had no idea what I was getting into with the Gladiator EVO. I mainly wanted something to make space and flight games more immersive, but I didn’t expect it to change how I play them this much. Going from a controller to an actual stick took a little getting used to, but once it clicked it was so much more fun.
The build quality feels great and the stick is really smooth and precise. There are a lot of buttons, which was a bit overwhelming at first, but I’m getting used to having everything within reach. Setup was easier than I expected too, especially with all the videos and helpful people in the community.
Paired with the STECS, it’s completely changed my experience with these games. I’m still a beginner and probably doing half the things wrong, but I’m having a blast learning. My biggest problem now is remembering which button I mapped everything to 😂. Definitely feels like I’ve accidentally discovered a new hobby haha.
Now I just need to explain to my wife why I apparently need a cockpit in the living room.
Excellent feel and responds well, I have it on a mounting bracket and it sits and rolls well. The buttons and nice and clicky and the springs are adjustable exactly as I need it
