UCM Short for Gladiator (UCM-S GL)

Stable and well made

I previously had a no-name chair mount for my stick, but this is far more stable and well made.

Game-Changer for My Gladiator EVO

The UCM-S for the Gladiator EVO has completely improved my setup. The desk space is cleaner, the ergonomics are better, and the joystick feels even more precise with the solid mounting. It’s very well built and easy to adjust. If you’re running a Gladiator, this mount is absolutely worth it.

These controls are phenomenal. The VKB Gladiator stick is smoother than my excuses after missing a shot, the STECS throttle has more buttons than my brain has remaining brain cells, and the UCM mounts hold everything so solidly that I’m convinced they could survive atmospheric re-entry. Build quality? Tank-like. Precision? Surgical. Ergonomics? My desk now feels like a NATO-approved flight simulator. And yet—despite all this premium engineering—I regret to report that my fighter pilot skills have not improved at all. I still overshoot landings, panic in dogfights, and occasionally deploy the wrong thing at the worst possible moment. Turns out elite hardware cannot overcome elite incompetence. That said, every time I lose, I lose in style. If you want top-tier controls that make you feel like a deadly ace while flying like a confused intern, VKB absolutely delivers. Would recommend to anyone who wants to remove “bad equipment” from the list of excuses and focus entirely on blaming themselves.
