September 13, 20223 yr https://vkbcontrollers.com/?product=gladiator-evo-space-combat-edition Is this worth it, or is there anything better under $150? Currently using a Logitech Extreme Pro 3D which is really good for the price, but just wondering if I should upgrade to something else...

September 13, 20223 yr I have the Gunfighter model and it's worth every penny. So, I bet it is worth it.

September 14, 20223 yr Author I bought the Gladiator Evo SCG Premium, was $200, pretty pricey for a joystick... I've always only owned cheap sticks though, so hopefully worth it. AMD 5800x | Nvidia 3080 (12gb) | 64gb ram

It was the worst joystick I owned by far. Almost unusable due to being too light weight and very erratic inputs. Best was my old MS sidewinder until it finally died. I'm still using my trusty CH Products Flightstick Pro, but it is getting old and less precise now. Starting to think about replacing it.

Best money I ever spent in hardware. I changed the springs for the lighter ones, and switched two of the 4-way hat switches. My only complaint is that the rudder and the 4-way switches are too stiff for my liking. If you like tinkering, this is the best one you may get.

October 13, 20223 yr Now the VKB Gladiator NXT EVO stick is a great stick, just have to make your own profiles for it, has anyone made a MSFS profile for it yet ??
