The Gladiator joystick is a new, exciting design from the engineers at VKB! The Gladiator offers a high-end experience for a much smaller price. Its design is a replica of the famous KG12 grip found in WWII fighter planes and Korean War era jets. VKB has taken the classic design of the original grip and adapted it to be used with PC flight-simulators. No other flight stick in this price range looks and feels this close to the real thing. The Gladiator is loaded with buttons and options to get flight-simmers of all backgrounds up and flying quickly. It uses high precision sensors and sturdy construction to give the user smooth movement with precise action. The Gladiator is designed to give virtual pilots years of faithful and trouble free service.
