Gladiator Pro XT twist and pinkie problems

[drKorf]

I bought a Gladiator Pro a while ago and only now am starting to use it. I just successfully updated the firmware. The VKBDevCfg-C.exe application reads this as "VKBsim Gladiator Pro XT v2.090". I have two problems.

(1) Axis X, Axis Y, and Axis Z work fine, but nothing registers when twisting. I've tried calibrating and using defaults.

(2) The pinky switch doesn't register. All of the other buttons work.

Before calibration, you need to reset the settings to Default (button in the configurator) and reconfigure the device by clicking the Find & Auto Config button in the Global-External tab.

Thanks. I hit the Default button and now I'm looking at the Global External tabs. Not seeing any Find & Auto Config button.

Sorry, there was an inattentional mistake - I thought you had a GNXT. Only for him there is such a function.
If you have a Gladiator Pro (it has metal mechanics and there is no twist axis on the grips), then the Pinky button is configured as a subshift and works in tandem with the Mode button on the base. Only affects the operation of the fire button.
Please attach a screenshot of the Profile-Buttons tab.

My grip twists for certain. I could make a video of it and show me twisting it. I hope the screenshots I've attached are the ones you want.

In this case, you are using the wrong firmware - the twist axis is disabled in it.
There are two ways, but it's better to flash the firmware for a simple KG12 grip, without the letters Pro in the name.
And then reset and calibrate all available axes.

Working!

I changed the firmware to KG12 and clicked the Default button. The twist axis worked, but after calibration, it didn't. Ah, that's because the Rot X axis was not set by default. After turning on all axes, I was able to calibrate everything. Thanks so much for your help.
