Expensive Grip swapping problem
Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2020 23:11
Hi, firstly just a bit of background. So My friend and I decided to dive in and get some vkb sticks, I ordered us a couple of right handed Gladiator NXTs We really liked them but felt like we wanted a bit more precision and a smoother feel on our right sticks so we decided to order a gunfighter mk.iii SCG each. We ordered left hand grips with the intention of swapping the grips. So ultimately we could have the gunfighter SCG as a right stick and the NXT on the left. I did a little digging since it didn't say anything on the product page for the NXT or the SCG and it seemed to me based on what I could find on the forums and from vkb that the grips were interchangeable, for example:
"AreĀ grips interchangeable? YES they are. You may first buy one joystick with a Kosmosima Right. Then, as you progress, you buy a GunFighter base with a Kosmosima Left, swap theĀ grips, and you now have a pretty solid setup of a Kosmosima Gunfighter on the right, and a Gladiator K on the left."
We've since found out that this isn't the case unfortunately with the nxt and the gunfighters, the connectors on each base are different. I have a ticket open and I'm told that kits are being worked on that would let us swap the grips over. From what I can tell we would need a right grip connector for a gunfighter mkiii and a left grip connector for the NXT and we should be set. I was told the forums might be the best way to get an update on this, are we likely to be able to get these parts any time soon so that we can use our sticks?
Thanks.
