What is the deal with WinWing?

Hello everyone

I've recently heard a lot of bad things about WinWing's customer service and quality.

I'm interested in some actual customer stories regarding these issues.

I'm looking into buying the Orion2 HOTAS StrikeAce E/EX here in the EU, if anyone has any specifics on that.

Thank you.

Thoughts on WinWing Orion2 Hotas or VKB Gladiator NXT EVO + STECS MINI MK.II

Hello everyone

I've played a lot of War Thunder, but I want to move on to better sims like DCS, and I'm looking for some guidance regarding gear.

I've watched a lot of videos, searched through different sites and this forum, and I've landed on two options that I find interesting.

The first one is the WinWing/WINCTRL Orion2 HOTAS StrikeAce E/EX for about 524 euros. It seems like a good package, a solid base that is very versatile, and that the cam and spring gimbal system is worth it. However, I have heard a lot of negative things about the customer service and potential quality issues, so I wondered if it's a risky option.

The other one is a pair from VKB, where I would pair the Gladiator NXT EVO + STECS MINI MK.II for about 451 euros. I've heard great things about the quality, customer service, and that the STECS throttle is part of a good ecosystem. I am worried that this is the more expensive and complicated option because of the need for upgrades to the STECS and also the Gladiator stick being a Pincer gimbal.

I'd love to hear other recommendations as well

Thank you
