VKB-SIM

I just got the new pins, in aluminum ( nice upgrade over plastic ! ).

This is why I am happy I made the upgrade to VKB. I can actually FIX the joystick instead of throwing it out and buying a new one. Best gaming purchase I've ever made.

Hello ! Huge fan, and I've had my Gladiator II with FCS handle upgrade for a little over two years ? I love this JS. Best purchase I've ever made. I was playing Elite Dangerous tonight and the middle hat button broke off ! Nothing electrical, just the plastic button. Snapped clean off. It's not the ...

Works like a champ !

Thank you for the HOWTO .

If anyone wants/needs a good reference for Mechwarrior 5 HOTAS setup, I got it working with my Gladiator II / SCG handle. I had to manually rebuild the HOTAS file by hand. There was a guide that showed how to get it working, but you had a load a bunch of other programs and drivers. According to the ...

Huge thanx to the team at VKB. Very professional and very helpful.

They helped me troubleshoot the HW issue and it works perfectly now. Very happy, and I can't wait to put it in action.

I reloaded the firmware and followed the video. Buttons 18 and 19 still stay "on". Reloading, defaulting, and other software changes do not correct the issue with buttons 18 and 19. When I say the buttons are "lit", I am referring to the button testing utility ( VKB_BtnTester.exe...

OK. I'll do it again.

Not firmware issue. Experimenting tonight. If I very gently press the red button ( just under the hat ), the hat will act perfectly normal. When I say gently, I mean very slight. Not enough to to have the button tester show the button as engaged, or to hear it 'click'. All 4 positions, and the centr...

Anything ?

Device Config Util shows "No Function" on Physical and "Auto" on Logical for all buttons. Using the Button tester, and pushing the red button "3", I get this, randomly.. sometimes more, sometimes less. 18 pressed [22] 16 unpressed [21] 19 pressed [11] 16 pressed [53] 19...

It's not a ministick, it's a 4-way hat.

It's the 4-way in the upper left.

Also, according to the Button Tester util, every time I press the red button just below, the 18 and 19 buttons cycle up/down.

The Stick seems to function great... Except that two buttons seem to be stuck "On" when using the button tester utility. Buttons 18 and 19 on the upper left hat ( labeled A1 ) are stuck on, and the only action I get out of the hat is button "20" when I press the hat. Any suggesti...

I managed to get the firmware loaded, and it sees the rudder and many of the buttons. It took : 1: clean reboot of my computer, open nothing except the configurator. Opening anything else, like Chrome, would cause this to fail. 2: Plug in the joystick 3: Open configurator, highlight joystick at top,...

Problem #1 : Received new joystick, and the device cannot be seen by firmware updater. It says it's offline. Have tried on three different computers, multiple USB ports ( 2.0 and 3.0 ), disabling most services. I do not run thrustmaster software or Aurus. The Configurator sees the joystick just fine...
