help VKB Sim Gladiator NXT EVO FAQ

Does the VKB Sim Gladiator NXT EVO actually have force feedback?

No. It uses a spring-centered gimbal with adjustable dry clutches, contactless MaRS sensors, and interchangeable springs, but it does not have motorized force feedback. [VKB specifications](https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/gladiator-nxt-evo-base-only)

Can I change the grip on the Gladiator NXT EVO?

Yes, the base supports compatible VKB grips including the SCG Space Combat Grip, KG12 WWII Combat Grip, and F-14 Combat Grip. The base-only version does not include a grip, so the grip must be purchased separately. [VKB compatibility details](https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/gladiator-nxt-evo-base-only)

What makes the Gladiator NXT EVO useful for space simulators?

Its SCG grip provides many cockpit controls, while the base adds a throttle wheel, rotary encoder, buttons, and a three-position auto-centering switch. The contactless sensors and adjustable springs are useful in games such as Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, where precise pitch, yaw, and roll inputs matter.

Is the Gladiator NXT EVO made entirely from metal?

No. The tabletop plate is steel, but the base uses industrial-grade ABS and the gimbal uses glass-fiber-reinforced polymer, so the product is not an all-metal joystick. [VKB materials list](https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/gladiator-nxt-evo-base-only)
