This latest version features enhanced tactile response, smoother operation, reduced actuation force and a BRAND NEW forward trigger paddle that speeds up your reaction time. This is the latest and greatest for the VKB Gladiator line of joysticks.

Comes in four different textures and 3 angles so that you can tailor it to your preference!

Common questions popping up: Q: Do the pieces need to be mirrored? A: Nope. This time it doesn't matter. On previous versions, it did. The only benefit would be for symmetry. If you're looking at the underside of your triggers though, you're probably missing shots anyway. Q: Print orientation? A: For resin printing, prioritize minimal supports on the surface that contact your skin. This will result in less post-processing and a better feel. For FDM, orient such that the primary and secondary triggers are parallel to the bed with the thru holes being perpendicular. For the forward trigger, orient it such that the struts that exit the shell are parallel to the bed, essentially as it would be mounted in the joystick. This will be the best strength orientation for the necessarily skinny sections of material. Q: It's not working? A: There was a lot of testing that went into this but I'm not perfect. That said, reach out over discord and give me the opportunity to work through it with you so that we can get it working.

Update 01/28/25: Added reinforced forward trigger files to downloads. These are an option for users feeling that the default options are too weak.

Update 02/13/2026: Addressed a tolerance issue where the Reinforced Forward Triggers were not fitting through their slot.

Update 02/15/2026: Adjusted tolerances again to make assembly easier with reinforced parts.
