VKB Gunfighter Mk.II Quick 
Guide – The Basics

To get started, go to https://vkbcontrollers.com/?page_id=4609 and follow these steps:

1. Download 

VKBdevCfg

 and extract it to any folder you like.

2. Optionally, download 

ZBootloader

 and extract it into the same folder as above 

(only needed 

when updating firmware)

.

3. Optionally, download 

VKB Device Firmware

 and extract the firmware (*.vkb) for your Gunfighter 

with matching grip, e.g., _BlackBox_GF_<

grip

>_<version>.vkb, where <

grip

> = 

KG 

(KG12), 

MCG,

 

MCG PRO, or SCG 

(Kosmosima) respectively, and put it into the same folder as above 

(only 

needed when updating firmware)

.

Next, for a new Gunfighter, you will have to do two things after unboxing:

1) Loosen

 its clutch dampers (see pg. 5-6) 

2) Calibrate

 it (see pg. 12-13)
