How are shifted functions done on the Gladiator NXT EVO ‘Space Combat Edition’ - Right Hand ? Is there a dedicated button for this or do I just assign one? If so, how? Thanks! (Is there a downloadable manual? I didnt see one at the VKB website.)

You can assign any buttons to any function. Here's the manual. And here you can find more articles and howtos.

Does anyone have a simple explanation on assigning a shift button and its use. The manual seems to require a degree in rocket science.

I read on a post from 2019 that by default, shift is assigned to the pinky button? Is this correct and still the case?

Try to test. At least using Windows applet.
