Fat Mamba MkIII is back!!!!

[debolestis]

I am 99% sure that FLCS or F22 grip is compatible with their adapter. Probably cheaper solution than Warthog...

[dburne]

Heck, you could even find a TM Warthog or Cougar grip, buy the VKB adapter, and stick it on that Mamba base with the awesome new, heavy-duty gimbal... :)

 

Hmm that might be a little tempting down the road...

So is windows going to see all that as one controller, or multiple controllers?

 

Edit - well I guess you already answered by the " all controllers become one" statement duh.

Guess I should read as well instead of just looking at the pictures LOL.

Neat visualization, Sokol1! Would be nice if we knew what the next VKB modern grip and throttle will be :)

[Akatsuki]

Indeed, it would be nice.

[Bourrinopathe]

I'm not sure a sneak peek would be a great idea. We'll have to drool for ages before it becomes available ^^

sokol1 finaly you get the concept.

[tommytank]

Does the Warthog adaptor enable all the buttons, or are there any limitations?

[Bourrinopathe]

No limitations as limitation! Your Warthog kung fu will only improve ;)

 

This gives users the freedom to customize their Black Mamba and continue to use their favorite grip without losing the button

and hat-switch layout they prefer. It’s the best of both worlds!

Very accurate statement.

 

Hopefully, we should have some pictures of the final products this week.

Ordered!

[Bourrinopathe]

Great! I hope you'll let us know how you feel about the Warthog grip and Black Mamba MkIII gimbal combination.

[rrohde]

Oh yeah! And, please post some pics when you get it! :)

It's going to be a long wait for all of us!

[rrohde]

I have my hopes up for January.

This all sounds very interesting indeed.

[Akatsuki]

I would not count on a january availability. They will probably start the batch by then, so, add the unpredictable issues during the process, then shipping from the factory to the retailer (probably by boat), and the time spent with the customs and you're easily shifting to the end of february. I might be pessimistic but i think we will receive them in april.

[rrohde]

You're the voice of reason, Sergeiev. Guess it's easy to forget reality when I am overly excited to get my hands on the Mamba MkIII. :)

[Akatsuki]

I'm excited as well though. :)

[rrohde]

Did you go for the custom engraving for your MkIII Mamba?

[Akatsuki]

Nope, i ordered a few days after the offer ended. So i'll have the KG-12 grip. That will be good for the MiG-15. :)

 

I'm just hoping they'll release a new modern style grip in a not so distant future.

That said i'm happy to receive the KG-12 grip.

[rrohde]

Unofficial mock-up of a modern VKB grip (not sure if that's still the plan, or if that will come at all, and if it comes, when...):

[dburne]

I will certainly be looking forward to seeing reports from folks that have these VKB sticks in their hands...
