VKB UCM Stronghold Combo-Sets for Gladiator NXT EVO?

[Native]

Hello everyone,

I have two VKB Gladiator NXT EVO's


+ SEM module



and wanted to get suitable mounts for them. However, I have discovered that there are no sets available.
It's a shame, because I'd also like to have a keyboard mount and mouse mount and a set solution like this would have been just right.
What I'm also wondering is how does it work with the mounts if you have an SEM module on the joystick? Does the SEM module float in the air when it is mounted on the joystick?

So will there be a set solution for Gladiator owners at some point?
What is the solution with SEM module?

Thanks in advance

I think the Ace-S combo set is what you're looking for, but it comes with the Gunfighter mounting adapters. It's possible someone at the EU store can arrange to sell you a combo with the Gladiator adapters instead. They've worked out solutions with me in the past. But you can also buy them separately:

As for the SEM module, if you mount it to the side of the EVO like you have in the picture, then yes it just floats. I had mine like this for a little while and it's only suitable for side mounting your flight stick. If you prefer center mounting, you can set it up like I have now: Drill two small holes in the UCM mounting plate and secure the SEM with two M3 screws (the EU store has said the "new" UCM plates with pre-drilled holes will arrive soon for over a year. I gave up waiting.) Then get the JST to USB cable to connect it to the Gladiator.

Unfortunately, this cable is too short for what I wanted so I made my own cable. If you want to learn more about that, check out my reddit post:

There's also the option to run it as its own device with the USB controller:

Hope that helps and someone from VKB Europe can answer about the Gladiator adapters with the combo sets.

For the GNX SEM, I think it is possible to use the "GNX MODULE TO GLADIATOR NXT BASE (L for you, or R) REINFORCING PLATE" modules.

More solid but the module will stay in the air.
I think this is the solution I will use later.

But I could be wrong !!
If there are more opinions, I'm interested.
