Re: Gladiator MkII button jam help?

I finally got around to fixing 1 of my sticks, as eikenb said the switch had moved. Basically there's nothing to stop the top switch moving to the right a few mm or so (2nd photo), that gap (see 1st photo) is a bizarre design decision and makes me wonder if they had intended to glue the switch in pl...

Re: VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

Yea I found the same (sometimes), no uncommanded inputs from the Glad mk2, yet the screen wouldn't sleep. Yet sometimes when the CH pro throttle was jittering the screen would sleep! But not always! wth?? I never found out why it sometimes did or didn't sleep there. And both have 'wake up' abilities...

Re: VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

Well, I've been given another way out of this by luck. A friend of mine gave me an upgraded 2nd monitor (17>19"), it's button works fine so I just switch it off! :P The problem's still there though. But I won't be burning anymore time trying to find a fix (it's likely a driver problem, joystick...

Re: VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

Re the config, I merely downloaded the latest available from your site, I don't recall their being any requirements to match f/w and config version.

And thanks for the USBDeview tip, a very handy program :).
It seems the HID\VID_231D&PID_0121&REV_185 is the VKB Glad.

Re: VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

As a temporary work around I want to disable the Glad in device manager, trouble is neither my VKB Glad or CH pro throttle name themselves :roll: , so I can't tell which is which. I think the Glad is this one HID\VID_231D&PID_0121&REV_185; , can someone confirm? (Google was no help). Btw, if...

Re: VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

I saw that was responsible for some peoples problem, but as per the op, I've got an RX 580, which is an AMD card ;). Thanks for trying anyway :) Strangely, even when my CH pro throttle is jittering, as from today it allows the monitor to sleep, weird! But it will wake it with a big movement, which i...

Re: VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

Ah good find, thanks :), I didn't think to search for game controller! I expect they are much more common than joysticks. I'll read it through over the next few days or so.

Re: VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

Yea it didn't happen with Win 7 with me either, but I had an Intel setup then. I just wanted to see a screenshot of the Global tab. You have a very specific problem that is not confirmed by other users of VKB products. It is very difficult to advise something here. Try to leave one monitor and check...

Re: VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

The Glad is connected to a USB 2 port. What am I looking for in the global tab? I'm beginning to wonder if this is a general problem with Win 10 and any USB device, I've used these methods https://windowsreport.com/prevent-mouse-waking-windows-10/ to try and stop all USB devices (except the keyboard...

Re: VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

Nothing??

This is driving me nuts, have to keep unplugging the stick to allow the 2nd monitor to sleep (it's button is knackered), and then when I play Elite I keep forgetting to plug it back in and have to quit out to plug it in! grrr...

Re: Gladiator MkII button jam help?

I've had 2 sticks do this :roll: The 1st one failed after a few months or so and I had the stick replaced under warrantee (and they didn't want the old stick back which was a nice surprise :)), the 2nd one failed after a couple of weeks though! At which point I couldn't be bothered to contact suppor...
