VKB-SIM

I've this joystick for a while, but today the Rot Z axis stopped working. I tried to fix it, then decided to wipe all the firmware and reinstall it. Now, i get "error read CPUID". How do I fix this?

Already responded on Reddit, but in case you’ll see this reply first - flash the file ‘gladiator_NXT_vxx’, nothing else. When flashing and calibrating turn off any background running software like Aorus, Razer, Corsair, Logitech, any LED controlling software. After successful reflashing press the Default button and recalibrate.

Let's stick to this please, it's faster than Reddit.
Post a screenshot with Global/External/ExternalDevices please.

There's a tab called Global, click on it. You'll see then another tab called External, click on that too, then click on the cab called ExternalDevices. At this stage take a screenshot and post it.

First click on that large, square Default button. If the name of the device changes in the blue box to no KG12 you could continue with calibration. If the name is still contains KG12 just say so and we'll continue.

It still says KG 12

In the same stage as in the screenshot you posted click on the roll down menu as indicated below and, instead of KG12, select the SCG. Then click the Action tab under the blue window, then on the square Set button. What device name shows in the blue box?

VKBsim Gladiator NXT R XT v2. 090

Press Default button. Same device name?

nope, it goes back to KG 12

Unzip and flash the attached file please. Press the Default button afterwards and report back.

Proud to report no change
