Using a vkb joystick with a custom stick

Postby dankhill » Wed Apr 20, 2022 20:38

Hello VKB,

There is a lack of GA style joysticks available on the market for flight sims that from what I can tell only thrustmaster really fills, but I am looking for a higher quality joystick than that. I am wondering if it is possible to run a custom/handmade stick into one of your bases, either the gladiator or gunfighter. I have heard good things about your products although I have yet to try one as they do not quite meet my needs in being an ambidextrous general aviation style stick.

If you keep the same architecture, like VKB boards and controls that would work. Arduino, Leo Bodnar etc won't.

Assuming from the original comment that you're willing to construct the grip body from scratch or heavily modify an existing one, you can probably make an ambidextrous joystick out of a MCG grip as a board donor or by extensively modifying the body
