rrohde Posted April 14, 2017 Author Posted April 14, 2017 So, the countdown begins (again)! Anyone know China-US DHL shipping times??? :) Less than 7 days usually once it leaves their facility.

dburne Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Well, I don't have the official "go ahead" yet from VKB HQ to announce the start of the shipping date, but according to them the PCB issues have been resolved and everything is back on track now. :thumbup: Good to hear!

rrohde Posted April 20, 2017 Author Posted April 20, 2017 Only update I have is that the final piece that's being implemented is the firmware, and then they're out the door. But again, until VKB HQ tells officially they're done, I cant send out an email blast to everyone. :) So for now, we're still waiting.

rrohde Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 Just a quick heads-up: VKB HQ ran into a bug in the firmware for the MCU (Microcontroller Unit) for the Gunfighter which has now been fixed and the Gunfighter with updated firmware is now undergoing testing. If this test comes back all clean, VKB HQ will start shipping out the Gunfighters from next week (first-come-first-served). Once I have the confirmation from VKB HQ that everything is in the green, I will send out an email blast to let everyone know. With complex, modular devices like the Gunfighter (and it being a brand new device), some late and unforeseen issues can arise and push everything back. With that said, thanks for your patience, everyone!

FalcoNg Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Great news, I wonder what the bonus will be. I hope I wasn't thrown to the back of the line when I swapped the regular gunfighter to a pro version!
