Just a couple of questions

"Black Mamba don’t need to install adapter PCB. Skip to 5- 4."

What joystick is in the pictures? Black Mamba MkIII? Why then has it the PCB installed?

"For Black Mamba, replace the 6-pin plug with 4-pin plug."

Like physically removing the 6-pin plug from the 6-2 blue cable? Where would I put the 2-pin and new 4-pin side if I don't have the PCB installed? Isn't the idea a 6-4 cable?

Adapter should be installed on " Fat Mamba" and "Black Mamba" as well.
Adapter was preinstalled on Vintage Mamba only .

Installed it and it works well. I rotated the joystick a bit for ergonomy so its weight makes it a bit off at the center in terms of calibration. Is it possible to rezero it at "rest"? Edit: Just recalibrated it.

With the Black Mamba Mk3 I picked firmware for "Fat Mamba". I guess "black mamba" is a version without the base buttons.

Wizzo doesn't detect the joystick, but the VKB config is ok.

The amount of axes and buttons is just insane now.
