MCG Pro (Modern Combat Grip) Add-On

Pilots who want the maximum on-stick control count atop a Gunfighter base for binding-hungry space and combat sims.

~$136 approx 2026 street price, grip only (Ultimate ~$234)

VKB's flagship combat grip and the most common topping for a Gunfighter Mk.IV base. The MCG Pro packs six analog axes (two slew ministick, two trimmer ministick, a folding-trigger axis and a brake-lever axis on a contactless MaRS sensor) into a modular shell you can reconfigure hat-by-hat. A 25mm-adjustable palm rest and up to 15-degree grip rotation make it comfortable for long sessions. It is a grip only and requires a compatible VKB base (sold separately).

Common questions

Does the MCG Pro come with a base?
No. It's an add-on grip that mounts on a VKB base such as the Gunfighter Mk.IV, which you buy separately.
MCG Pro or MCG Ultimate?
The Ultimate adds more switches and modules (and roughly doubles the price). The Pro already covers six analog axes and is plenty for most space pilots.
