Gunfighter MK4 doesnt turn on everytime I turn on my PC

Though, it isnt a big issue as I fix this just by replugging the usb cable on te blackbox but I wonder why sometimes it turns on with PC and sometimes it doesnt. PSU is strong enough and te joystick is connected to one of the main usb ports on the mainboard in the back of the PC. Though all the USB ...

Gladiator pro to gunfighter Mk4 - a new perspective

So I took the plunge and bought Gunfighter MKIV with Kosmosima premium grip. Set everything up late last night. The general impression is top notch. I was surprised that it has a considerably different feeling than Gladiator pro. Even though Glad pro feels much better than normal Gladiator, this is ...

Hi, I would like to buy one of the new grips for my Gladiator Pro MK1. Is there a chance I can order 5pin grip or an adapter for new 3pin grip to fit my 5pin gladiator base?

Re: Gladiator Pro worn out

I would say it is a gladiator MKII since my PRO has sticker writting "Gladiator Pro" on the bottom of the grip (on the left side below handrest) and not on the top of the grip (like it is here on the pic with just "Gladiator" written) and on the bottom of the plate there is writt...

Re: Hat switch "board" replacement

Yeah, I checked and the board with buttons was inside housing all the way to the end of housing. But now I know where to look for. So I found a perfect spot (position) of board so all the buttons are clicking. So I put some small thin rubber peace between end of housing and the board and superglued ...

Re: VKB Gladiator pro MKI - grip keeps twisting

On all pro Gladiators the lock mechanisam is metal. Like I said Im not the only one with this problem. What is irritating is that vkb stuff arent responding. Once you buy their product, specially if out of warranty, they just dont care...

VKB Gladiator pro MKI - grip keeps twisting

Hi, I would like to know if someone had this problem with his Gladiator pro. Since I migrated from twist stick to Gladiator pro MKI and rudder pedals, sometimes in fearce dogfight I unwittingly twist a grip a bit (I would say I didnt used much force). The grip then twists to the left considerably. I...

Re: Rudder pedals MK IV spring question

AFAIK there is only one avilable from VKB (the default one). But you can always take this one to some local hardware store or toolshop and I think you will find the stiffer one there. There are stores with good stock of the different springs.
