9/10 Gunfighter Mk.IV (Base Only)
Enthusiasts building a no-regrets endgame HOSAS or HOTAS who want adjustable gimbal feel and grip interchangeability.
VKB's premium full-metal gimbal base and the upgrade destination for serious pilots who outgrow the Gladiator's fixed feel. Released in 2023, the Mk.IV adds next-gen adjustable axis dampers, swappable cams and springs with pre-tighteners, and a no-stiction soft-start clutch for glass-smooth movement. Five interchangeable grips drop onto one common Rev.C connector, so a matched pair of Gunfighters makes a genuine endgame HOSAS. It is a base only — budget for a grip (MCG, SCG, etc.) on top.
