Re: Gladiator NXT - Sticky Twist - Help!

Yeah, one certainly wouldn't expect the dealer/manufacturer to send you off to the shop where they slander you as a snob for expecting the car to function properly when new, and that you can't return it if you try to fix it. I'm fine with production issues, nbd really, but responses like this are wh...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Sticky Twist - Help!

It worked. The factory greasing for the twist mechanism is clearly insufficient. I've emailed VKB to see if they will still honor their warranty after re-greasing due to this magnet adhesive being broken, as I know they will not accept returns on them. I will report back. Edit: VKB confirmed this pr...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Sticky Twist - Help!

Good news. I decided to go ahead and disassemble the grip from the base on my Gladiator and took the grip apart by following the above mentioned video. Everything is the same on the NXT grip as far as I can tell except for there is a yoke on the cam of the twist grip that the 3 wire connector passe...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Sticky Twist - Help!

I posted in a thread about the NXT on the Elite Dangerous forum and had multiple people responding saying they had the same issue. "I had this same issue with my Gladiator K. It wouldn't return fully to center when I slowly twisted the grip to the right." "Mine was like that when I fi...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Sticky Twist - Help!

I guess the other customer who chipped in on this thread that he has twist stick too was a phantom huh? And because both of my sticks have the same problem, my claim becomes less credible? That is nonsensical. I have had 3 T1600ms ($50) and 2 Extreme 3d's ($40), none of which have had any stick. Def...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Sticky Twist - Help!

A joystick that sticks right out of the factory is not in working order. I have never had a stick deliver new with stick, not even $40 Logitechs. No one forced me to try fixing it, but VKB tech support only told me to ask the forum for help, so here I came. Lens manufacturers do service or swap lens...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Sticky Twist - Help!

I contacted tech support about regreasing my stick and they informed me I would not be able to return it if I did regrease it and still had a problem. Being that my only options are to try fixing the stick myself and forfeiting the possibility of return if it didn't pan out or return it, I've chosen...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Sticky Twist - Help!

The issue is still there even if I twist the stick without resting my hand on the stick.

Gladiator NXT - Sticky Twist - Help!

I recently received a pair of Gladiator NXTs and have been overall satisfied with them, save for one thing. The twist on both has sticktion when twisted at slower rates. Meaning, they catch and require a further degree more pressure applied to un-stick and begin moving smoothly again. The right is n...
