VKB Gunfighter Review Part II

[Shadepiece]

Ah good news. I really love my Warthog handle. As much as I would love to hold a real 109 grip, I'm just not sure how to replace all the functions I have bound to my stick.

How many buttons are on the Gunfighter again?

Oh you'll love this...3, yes 3 but that excludes the hat switch!

The metal gimbal sounds absolutely incredible. There is some slight lateral/twist play developing in my Warthog. I believe there is a way to keep the Warthog grip, but use the metal gimbal base on the Gunfighter.

Warthog (or Cougar) grip could be used in VKB Gladiator PRO and Gunfighter bases, but require a additional electronic adapter installed inside the grip to make compatible - the kit include a different CAM to deal with Warthog grip heavy weight (~1KG), require too load a different button layout in Black Box, flashing their firmware.

After the grip loose compatibilitity with Warthog base - unless remove the installed parts.

In VirPil/VPC base Warthog/Cougar grip is "BnP" (bolt and play) without extra modifications.
