Gladiator NXT (Open Box)

Please be aware that NXT series is completely replaced by EVO product line

It is the last items but normal 2 years warranty is provided by VKB FSC Europe

This is an Open Box item

It means that the item has been opened and returned to us during two weeks cooldown period. This item was not returned because of noticed malfunctioning.

Nevertheless, we carefully check the content and fully test the item. During the testing the configuration is reset, the axes are calibrated, and all axis and buttons are checked to make sure there is no hidden issues.

The item is fully complete but some packaging might be slightly damaged or scratched.

This is the perfect entry level joystick to get used to VKB products. It uses the same configuration tool as the other VKB products. Also, it is supported so new firmware for these controllers are available. However, we do not recommend to re-flash it immediately after unpacking. We have done it already during the preparation. Only flash the new firmware if you have a good reason for that.

Gladiator NXT is compatible with the all SCG and KG grips compatible with EVO base. Also the grip can be used on EVO or Gunfighter base (if proper twist module is used to fit Gunfighter socket)

The gimbal can be upgraded  up to EVO level

Omni Throttle Adapter is compatible (it works better with EVO gimbal  though)

In terms of controls available for NXT vs EVO there is an important difference. NXT base  has two rotary encoders. EVO base has one rotary encoder replaced with two-way spring-loaded switch (up/down) with the central neutral position. All other controls on the base are identical.

Also, NXT base can be mounted on UCM-S for Gladiator if needed.
