Gladiator K availability (USA)

I am looking to get the new Gladiator K for the new MS Flight Simulator that is coming out on August 18th. However, it seems to be out of stock. I never had a VKB joystick before. By reading the FAQs, it seems that VKBcontrollers.com is the best place to buy it from as they are the certified wholesalers. Do we have any idea on when it will become available? I did register to be notified.

That's right, VKBControllers is the authorized dealer for North America. About the restock... I can only ask to have some patience and come back here about a week before MSFS launches, you won't be disappointed

First of all, thanks so much for the super fast reply on a Sunday late evening!
Do you know how much would be the shipping from China to NJ, USA? I assume there is no sales tax. Also, how fast is the shipping? Any issues with MSFS support of this new joystick (although, not really new)?

Shipping will be calculated at checkout and is usually fast, same as delivery time which should be in less than a week.
Any VKB joystick would be perfectly compatible with the MSFS.

Thanks! Just checked online by adding another, in-stock joystick to the cart and crap...the shipping is $41. Quite significant. Any coupons for 1st time buyers?

Shipping is totally out of VKB's control unfortunately. The current courier has been selected for best price/speed ratio.
And no coupons

The sold-out listing for Gladiator K was removed from VKBControllers yesterday, and now
the NXT has been announced. Does this mean the Gladiator K is permanently discontinued?

Gladiator K was only a Limited Edition product, meant to make the transition from the original Gladiator MKII to the brand new Gladiator NXT.

Will the new modules be compatible with the Gladiator MKII?

Perfectly compatible.
