Has the new KG12 arrived with the latest batch by any chance? Should we expect it in the store in the next few days? Thanks, it helps us consolidate orders.

Re: kg12 new grip
So, seeing as these are now in stock - would there be any reason this would not be compatible with a Gladiator K base? Its got the same contacts as the Gunfighter bases but it's not explicitly mentioned in the product page. From what I see in the latest firmware batch there's just a KG12 firmware regardless of it being v1 or v2 for the Gunfighters (and Gladiators).

The new KG12 grip is compatible with the Gladiator K; just make sure you'd order it with GF connector.
Re: kg12 new grip
The new KG12 is a nice grip. The instructions say it's an 8 way hat switch, but it's only a four way or am I missing something?
Also, it would be good if the hat switch could be equipped with a push function, maybe an upgrade set would be possible?

Since I don't use it as a POV and only need four functions on the hat, I just had to check it in VKB Config and there are indeed only 4 switches on the hat (N, S, W, E)... but there are in-between positions that will light up both buttons... so, pushing it NW will trigger both the N- and W-button. I'm not 100% sure how actual 8-way POVs handle this (the KG-12's hat is not handled/labeled as a POV) - meaning I don't know if other hats actually have eight distinct buttons/switches or use the same "4 buttons but 8 positions"-system.
AFAIK, the old KG-12 did have a push function on the hat, but no side-button. I would definitely like to see the hat get its push function back, plus they could probably integrate another pinky button since the one that's on there now is actuated by a lever. Perhaps for a future, "Ultimate"-version of the grip...?
