VKB GUNFIGHTER B.E.T. – ULTRASLIM, ULTRA LOW-PROFILE, WITH A BUNCH OF REVOLUTIONARY NEW FUNCTIONS

This is our most advanced so far, most secret and most resource intensive project. We kept it hidden from public attention in order to avoid being nudged, but now… everything is ready. As you can see, these are physical products, not renders. Ready to be marketed as soon as the patent clearance is finalized. Wow (wiping sweat) – hard to believe, but finally, finally it is here.
But let’s get into the detail.
The core of the new Gunfighter is an ultra low-profile gimbal. Besides using harmonic drives (known for highest precision and next to zero backlash) it owes its unique flat dimensions to a break-through technology that has previously only been used in some areas of micro-robotic applications. I’m talking about electric current-dependent stiffness of some specially developed sort of conductive rubber resin-based polymer.

In simple words, the stronger the current, the stiffer the polymer.
To increase the current, we had to internally increase the voltage. We dealt with this on the early stage of the project, and honestly, this wasn’t the most difficult challenge. There were more tricky problems coming, but we cracked them one by one. Overheating, done. Blackbox compatibility, done. Polymer thermal expansion, done. Cam profiles translated into polymer resistance graphs, done. Axes interlock, done. One by one, in a totally new field.
Long story short, here it is.

VKB Gunfighter B.E.T. comes with Grip Comfort System that creatively utilizes heat generated by the polymer: this system can pre-heat the grip before your gaming session begins, and the rest of the time it will keep your drink hot for the duration of flight. Heat-conductive liquid (same as used in computer cooling; not supplied due to shipping restrictions – support your local store, order your favorite color from them!) runs from the main unit to the grip stand for heat exchange, and through a two-way valve returns through the same tube to recycle.
Every possible effort is made to provide you maximum enjoyment. Because with VKB, as you know, it is your Universe.

Ready to be marketed as soon as we receive the patent confirmation.
RRP = US$ 501

Very nice

When do you think that your bases (Gunfighter) will become available? It's been months. Covid has come and gone, shortages have eased. I already bought a MCG Pro grip and it's been months that you have no fGunfighter bases in stock in the VKB US webstore.

I understand that you need to come up with new products, but isn't it more important to see to your current products?

This frustration has been resounding all over DCS forums. It's really too bad because in spite of the availability of other companies (ordered a WinWing Orion 2, 5 days ago and it's already on its way), I still want a VPC GF! There is something wrong here at the top of your company. Pretty soon VKB will not be an option for buyers and you will be known as the company that can't get with it when it comes to it's #1 priority, ie have merchandise available.
With probably the best sim products on the market, it seems strange that you are announcing new products that haven't come out yet,and are out of stock on items that we want to buy yesterday, for months on end.

Very frustrated fan
