Seems like a fair price for what you get for the money.

 

If I didn't make my own button / axis / rotary boxes I might be tempted.

I've been eyeing this with great interest. I like my CH stick  but I feel like the precision of control is not where I would like it to be, and my CH pedals definitely could use an upgrade.

In a nearly ideal world I would get a Gladiator NXT and VKB T-rudder, and keep my CH throttle and logitech quadrant (both of which I really like), and when they croak get the modular expansions for the stick. The cost seems very reasonable for what you get, for me this hits the sweet spot of price and performance.

Since each of this modules (VKB, CH, Logitech) work as individual USB controller, no reason for you don't use then together, games look for controls, not for brands.

 

BTW - VKB SEM integrated in UMC:

Oh yeah for sure, I just don't have infinite money to throw at all the hardware I want so its a matter of replacing what needs replacing, and keeping the rest. Right now as far as controllers go rudders is a priority, followed by possibly stick. Right now I have enough axes and buttons for throttles and throttle quadrants that I don't need more controllers.

THQ (quadrant) module

 

 

3 - axes

8 buttons

150x95 mm footprint

 

New firmware (for NJoy32NG controller) in GNX (Gladiator NX) make then an "HUB" for another modules and  allow connect up to 4 modules in one one USB port, and axes is seem by Windows/Games as individual (virtual) controllers, bypassing Windows Dimput 8 axes limitation.
