# VKB-Sim Configuration Tutorials
This page has noting to do with Obsidian. I decided at some point I needed a joystick for some games I was playing and dived into the deep end.
Configuring the software for the joysticks I purchased was like pulling teeth with a chain-saw. I'm slowly figuring out different ways to achieve what I need from the tools; but I know I will forget, so this is a place for me to record what I have learnt and possibly might be useful for others also.
I want to be clear. I am not a professional. I am absolutely struggling to set this up.
## Official Site
This is where I purchased these from.
https://vkb-sim.com.au/
## Hardware
This is what I'm using.
### # Gladiator EVO 'Space Combat Edition' Premium

### # GNX Front Switchboard Module – General Aviation (FSM-GA)
This is mounted in front of the throttle. Connected to the throttle with the longer [USB cable](https://vkb-sim.com.au/collections/gnx-modules/products/gnx-module-to-module-interface-cable-type-c-to-type-c-40cm). I did not require a [# GNX USB Controller (HID-Main)](https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/gnx-usb-controller-hid-main) to connect this up.

Software for these devices is downloaded from the official site.
Specifically **VKBDevCfg Device Configurator** is used to configure the devices.
