ebabil Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Are you guys planning to produce a joystick like gladiator (non pro) but with more modern grip? actually it looks good and has enough buttons but its buttons are at the base so, it would be better if we had a stick with more buttons on the grip instead on base. this option would be very good choice who can not afford metal base sticks like me FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5
Sokol1_br Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Are you guys planning to produce a joystick like gladiator (non pro) but with more modern grip? Gladiator 'X" (upgrade for Gladiator "vanilla") with MCG (don't know if "vanilla or PRO") grip is said to be available in September. :)

Sokol1_br Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 They say "September" - but I suspect that VKB use some kind of Chinese Lunar calendar. :)

Sokol1_br Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Well, chill out expectations, latest "rumors" suggest that Typhoon Mangkhut "sweep away" this Gladiator X for a while... :P Edited September 23, 2018 by Sokol1_br
BuzzU Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Not really true on the Gladiator that all the buttons are on the base. With a mode switch and shift mode you have the buttons on the stick times 4. That's 24 buttons. You only have 13 buttons on the base. Buzz
ebabil Posted September 24, 2018 Author Posted September 24, 2018 @sokol1 this looks just awesome @BuzzU I don't prefer using mode switch button during the flight . And if possible I would like to use mode button also as a normal button FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5

Sokol1_br Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 For owners of Gladiator Mk.II the 'X' upgrade is now available, cost $100 (SCG) or 140 (SCG premium). https://vkbcontrollers.com/?product=gladiator-upgrade-kit-lite-w-mcg-bundle-2 Add to this the cost of Gladiator Mk.II and result is $ 185 - 225, not properly "budget" option like OP ask.
ebabil Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 what 's the difference between scg and scg premium?
