Re: Difference between MCG Pro and MCG Ultimate

Hey, I'm waiting for a restock to get one. How long have you had yours? How is it holding up? How long did you wait to get a delivery? Was it worth the extra cash compared to what you consider being just one tier below? Visiting the VKB forum is *not* reassuring regarding customer service and I'd l...

Re: How to map CTRL key to button on MCG ultimate

In VKBDevCfg, go to the "Common" tab (at top), "Global" tab (at bottom), with the correct stick selected in the little list box at the very top. You should see a block in the window for "Keyboard" about in the middle with a selection box. This is "OFF" by defa...

Re: SCG Pro LED flashes white and twist axis goes to 100%

That sort of intermittence, with both in the same hub and thus to same port of the computer, but the other stick NOT doing it, sounds like either the cable from the stick to the black box, or the little internal cable inside the base from grip to sensor board or sensor board to connector is experien...

Re: Gunfighter Top plate hole pattern

I haven't attempted SC yet - holding out for Squadron 42 formal release - mostly Elite Dangerous on my end. [Is Aegis a SC company too? It's the anti-Xeno (Thargoid) organization in Elite. Doesn't 100% apply as a 'manufacturer' in the game backdrop but I liked the logo. ;-) ] You may be in luck, Fro...

Re: Gunfighter Top plate hole pattern

If that's what you really want to do there's nothing really wrong with it I guess. I like being able to easily remove the gimbal from my mount for cam or spring swaps separately in my hand. if you used my technique to have your mounting replace the retaining ring NOT the top plate, you can do that. ...

Re: Gunfighter Top plate hole pattern

You don't want to use the 'inner' holes, those hold the gimbal to the top plate. The outermost 4 holes hold the top plate (and a plastic ring for the silicone dust boot) down on the extrusion housing. I don't have the diameter of the hole for the dust cover hold-down but otherwise this old thread mi...

Re: Set axis to use only half its range

So that does work?? Thanks very much for the response (should make the OP happier too)!

I wonder why the manual is so particular that you MUST have Cn checked for analog axes.

Re: MCG Ultimate forgetting pro-trigger axis

I know it doesn't help GooseMachine, but I wanted to share a funny. I could've sworn this was happening to me recently. I map that flip-up trigger to "Cargo Scoop" in Elite Dangerous, in "hold" mode (in-game). Flip trigger up, scoop open, flip down, scoop closed. The other night ...

Re: Rotate Base/Grip 180 degrees?

Many of us have also looked for a right angle connector, either the cable end or for the base, to no avail. I can find it in the next diameter up but have never found one in the size being used. Having a right angle cable connection might help with routing it a little better in some instances, not a...

Re: Set axis to use only half its range

If you do that, while the stick is in the middle of the range you're always thrusting up 'halfway'...but OK. I don't know if one of these settings would work. At first I thought unchecking 'Cn' (Center) would do it but the manual says an analog axis MUST have a center. The description of Direction s...

Re: DHL shipping experience - is this normal?

Well this is wild. Finally got shipping update showing it left Cincinnati at 7:28 this morning, and I had it on my porch at 11:45. When DHL moves, they really move! After waiting 6 days in Cincinnati, it got here in a hurry once it got moving. Me too, and I'm an idiot, my laser WAS via DHL after al...

Re: DHL shipping experience - is this normal?

I know hearing this doesn't help but I have a laser on order (for a 3d printer system, alternate work head) that started in an LAX bonded storage facility (pre-customs, I presume) and went from there to Cincinnati, goal being delivery to Texas ultimately. (Yeah, I don't know what map they're using.)...

Re: Complementary buttons

Which sim/game? Maybe someone will have an alternative idea. I know for example Elite Dangerous offers the option to "Toggle" or "Hold" on several functions in their own in-game mapping. For example I use cargo scoop as my 'flip-up' trigger on the MCG-Ultimate, using "Hold&q...
