Hey guys, today i received my Gunfighter MK III + Knüppelgriff KG12 - the problem comes with the latter one, the KG12 - it seems it has no contact with the base ??!!
I removed the dustcover but there is no way that the blackbox LED switches to green - switching back to MK III grip works fine.
Any ideas ?


Greetings Marc

Open up the base and check the white connectors on the PCB, unplug and plug them back. Also check the wires feeding into those connectors.

bevor i will do this, i think the base is ok ?! cause i can switch the MK III grip on the fly and the green LED starts to flash - so that means the base is ok or not ?

P.S. checked it, all connectors are fine and in place

Then how are you testing the KG12 to see it's not working? Have you flashed with the KG12 firmware?

Ähm ok fresh start - i bought a Gunfighter Mk.III ‘Modern Combat Edition’ - that combination (stick and base) is working fine. When i connect the Stick, the green LED flashes and all buttons working.
BUT - i also ordered a KG12 grip ONLY - for the Gunfighter base (should be compatible right ? ) and THAT grip is not working with the base - red LED, no buttons at all.

Alright, so every time you swap grips you have to re-flash the Black Box with the new grip. Here's how to flash for KG12 grip and this is how to flash for MCG/ MCG Pro grip.
There's also a new version of the software/firmware in beta these days which would allow swapping grips without re-flashing every time.

Oh really ? okay, i never read this anywhere i guess ... well thanx buddy ^^
