VKB-SIM

I do not use trackir or VR so I need a stick with an 8-way hat switch. does bkb make one besides the warbird? Is there a way I can get and 8-way hat switch to put in a gunfighter 4? It needs to be twist rudder too

The only VKB device with an 8-way switch is the KG-12 grip. It can fit on either the Gladiator or Gunfighter bases. All other VKB hat switches are gated 4-way (with center push).

That said, the Modern Combat and Premium Space Combat grips have an analogue ministick (MCG has two), as well as the STECS MK1 and MK2 (not STG) grips. These ministicks can emulate the output of a POV hat, or simply act as thumbstick-like analogue axes to control the view.
