Fantastic rrohde! I've had a Gladiator Pro back-ordered with Stratojet for months until the bad news from VKB. Like the other poster, I tried VKB Europe with no reply. I want to be in the first order you ship in US. Will pm my email.

Thanks.

Working on it. From what I understand, the Gladiator Pros should be available from January 2017. :)

Thanks a mil Rainer, you've been a great help. The American gaming community in general and flight-sim/space-sim communities in particular will obviously greatly benefit from your involvement.

rrhode as one of our American users I need to uh... I need one of every VKB stick for testing purposes. All of them.

Thank you for your understanding.

I'm with you on that notion .. especially with the new Gunfighter nearing completion! I wish I had the power to do that... but I don't. ;)

Sounds good Aaron. Feel free to contact me at my (temporary; working on something more permanent) email address VKB.NorthAmerica@gmail.com if you want to be added to my database in case you want to reserve a VKB product before the (pre)order windows open. I try to offer this so people don't miss out on a Gladiator Pro or a Gunfighter once VKB announces their availability. :)

I also give a thumb up, in-spite living in Israel.
One thing I must say is that when there is a purchasing date let it be confirmed.
What I mean is that Eduard in Europe said the WT adapter for Gladiator pro will be on sale in "A couple of days" (28.11.16)
some one has to update this information...
Anyhow good luck and new spirit in US site :D

Regards,David

Agreed. And yet that's the hardest part in the communications with VKB, simply despite their best effort, there's always that unknown factor in there that could throw you a curveball. Either way, communication is key and I really strive to improve on that aspect, whether it's here on the forums or in email with you guys! :)
And thanks for the well wishes. :)

rrohde, I'm just glad and appreciate that you are doing this for us. I doubt there is much $$ in it for you so we are lucky you've volunteered to help.

what I see is that VKB also mfg. the Gladiator under: Speedlink Airrow|Ravcore Javelin and so on.
This means they can't give a final delivery for some months (see the "out of stock" for Gladiator Pro for 3 months...).

Best regards, David
