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.
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).
This is one of the cleaner buys in its lane if the price and platform fit your setup.
Known caution: Grip only — useless without a separate VKB baseIgnitionSim is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site we may earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you — it never changes our verdict or your price. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
