Pavlin_33 Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 (edited) Dear VKB, I am writing you an open request to improve your "Gunfighter IV" base. I had just bought one brand new only to be disappointed by a very unpleasant grinding feel and sound when operating the stick. It turns out that the issue is caused by the cam/bearing assembly and it makes this quite expensive base feel like cheap plastic. Luckily by experimentation I have manged to mitigate the issue. Solution was, applying Nyogel 767A to the cam's surface which completely got rid of both the grinding feel and the noise. I was ready to return the stick back, but after this mod it's here to stay. My request is the following: please consider pre-lubricating fore mentioned parts or at least offer some sort of heavy-duty dampening lube. You have a great product that is missing a small but very important part to function as expected: a high quality premium product. ~S~ Edited November 22, 2024 by Pavlin_33 1 1 i5-4690K CPU 3.50Ghz @ 4.10GHz; 32GB DDR3 1600MHz; GeForce GTX 1660 Super; LG IPS225@1920x1080; Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB; Windows 10 Pro

They've asked me to raise ticket with support and check tha cam alignment. I am guessing that's my next step... i5-4690K CPU 3.50Ghz @ 4.10GHz; 32GB DDR3 1600MHz; GeForce GTX 1660 Super; LG IPS225@1920x1080; Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB; Windows 10 Pro

Tensorial_Architect Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I've dealt with VKB for years now and find them to be a very reputable manufacturer. I am sure they will help you get things sorted. My Gunfighter IV base has zero issues. I left this forum on April 30th, 2025 bc I didn't like being censured when I posted perfectly legitimate content. Best wishes fellas!

Edited February 24 by Aviators L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa. Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza.
