Re: VKB GLADIATOR NXT - Entry Level Taken to the NXT Level

Some more Information about Gimbal Changes?

Bearings used? More smoother Axis Movement?

Please, I want more Details. :(

Re: VKB GLADIATOR NXT - Entry Level Taken to the NXT Level

Usually, yes. :)

But a Question: Are there now Bearings used? Or is it still Plastic on Plastic, but with Improvements?

There seems to be enough Space for Bearings. And the Standard Industrial Bearings are not to
expensive, but still it would make a huge difference in Controls.

Re: VKB GLADIATOR NXT - Entry Level Taken to the NXT Level

...and there it is! Hooray!

And some Moderator denied it before, when I was asking about a new Gladiator MK Model - not the K with Kosmosima.
Because on Shop it said Product Gladiator MK. II has been discontinued and new Model will be announced somewhere
in July.


Looks really nice!

Re: Broken stick

Ohkay...

How did that happen? Extreme over-twisting, while slamming the Grip to the edges?

Helloh!

If Eduard reads this, it would be nice, if he could also take a look at my Ticket #1966.

Sorry for missusing your Thread.

Re: Yaw not centering fully

Yes, that is the Issue there: Rubber against Plastic - this won't slide smoothly.

Maybe lifting up Grip just a little? The Contacts are Push-Pins - so there is maybe some Space left until Connection interrupts.
Even though, that is not a really nice Solution. :?

Re: Gladiator-K Type/Brand of grease?

Forget it. I tried it for 1 1/2 YEARS to get some Information on the Original Grease used.

It is not VKB Support fault - the Chinese just deny it. Yet they don't want even send a small
Sample!! Not via Air nor Ship.

My alternate Solution is: Aparoli PTFE Universal

Very soft and smooth. :)

Re: Gladiator K : mechanical question on axis Y

I can put my little Finger lightly on top of the Stick and that is registered by the Sensors. Maybe it is play between the Grip and Stick? I had this Issue also with the Gladiator MK. II. Opened up the Grip and added some wraps of Sticky Tape around the upper Stick. Use something that is very low in...

Re: Gladiator MkII gone?

Helloh!

On the Gladiator MK. II it says in big Letters:

THE PRODUCT IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT !
THE NEXT VARIANT OF GLADIATOR IS EXPECTED IN JULY

So, it cannot mean the Gladiator K? ...as it is already listed in EU and US Shop and we still have June.

Re: Gladiator K is fact of life now.

On "Gladiator MK. II" Details it says it has been discontinued and a new Version is been awaited for about July.

So, a Gladiator MK. III? I am highly interested in all the Changes that were made related to the MK. II.

Thanks in advance! :)

Re: Gunfighter Mk. III electric shock?

...this might be the reason. Ugh!

A few Cables have Contact with the Housing ( Base ) ...

Well, I would say: You need a new Connector, or some Patience and Skill in soldering. ; p

Re: Gladiator Mk II asymmetrical centering on Y-axis

There's no benefit because you don't move the grip with the finger in game, but with your hand and the hand won't make this kind of fine adjustment. I am controlling with the whole Hand and single Fingers - also with Muscle Pressure. Don't know how to exactly describe that in english Language. Sorr...

Re: Gladiator Mk II asymmetrical centering on Y-axis

Increase the deadzone, there's nothing to gain with 0 value. I don't understand this. Why is there no benefit with that Value? I mean, I can put a Finger very lightly on top of Joystick and that is already been registered by the Sensor. My Issue is with the Center off-setting after "hard"...
