So does this mean VKB is now offering MCGs that will be compatible with the 5Pin Fat Black Mamba in the initial pre-order batch? I thought this was not going to be the case until some later date.

UPDATED reply:
All MCGs will be produced at the same time (we're preparing a bigger batch).
However not all the orders will be served at the same time: first the sets (base+grip) will be shipped out, then 3-pin versions, then 5-pin ones.
Hope you guys understand, this is not because we're being mean to you 5-pinners :shock: but simply because we have limited manpower to manage storage/packing/shipping all at once.
So from the customers' point, no matter the reason the result will be the same: 5-pin version will be shipped out a bit later. How big is this bit, remains to be seen.

That does not answer my question. Perhaps I should reword it.

Can I now order a 5pin MCG that will work with my Fat BlackMamba?

Based on the previous posts and information on the US store the 5-pin version that was available for ordering at that time did not support the Fat BlackMamba. The last information made available to us was one would be made available at a later date

I took it as a yes, given the grip now directly calls out compatibility with the Fat Black Mamba Mk II/III. I pre-ordered yesterday, but from the response above seems it will be a bit delayed.

As did I. I just want to be sure before I place the order.
