Driver Installation Woes?

There are customers who would still have problems installing the driver correctly.

Below is one common problem or mistake made during installation.

When you are being prompted to point to the driver location to complete the driver installation, please remember to point to the folder when you first install the driver package, NOT the Installer exe.

Below is the difference between the two, on the left the original driver package (downloaded from Bannco website), while the right is the folder created by the driver package, with 7 files inside.



Hope this helps.

All FRAGnSteins Patched And Tested!

Due to some issues on customers' end to patch FRAGnStein correctly to the latest firmware, causing some left controllers unuseable (unsynable or sluggish L1/L2 responses), we replace one to one to those who have problems. We apologized for the inconveniences caused both to our customers' precious time and efforts to exchange for a new set.

Today, we have completely patched and tested all FRAGnSteins in our stock to ensure that future interested customers do not have to face the same problem from the earlier batches of customers.

During our patching exercise today, we realised that you do not need to rematch your Mouse and Left controller when u are patching to firmware 1.7. Just unplug after patching and replug. And press the mouse start button and the left controller PS button. It should just work correctly.

Bannco has further announced some optimization steps to set up your mouse for MW2. Please refer to Bannco website.

Happy Fragging!

FRAGnStein Driver Installation & Firmware 1.7

As part of our support to the local community, we would like to describe more on the proper setup you need  to get the maximuum value from your FRAGnStein.

FRAGnStein works immediately in any PC you would plug in, recognizing as a standard Windows HID device. But this is catchy because you would still need their driver to get it to setup mode for firmware patching and mapping.

FRAGnStein Driver

Please refer to http://www.bannco.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76&Itemid=58 to install it on your WIN XP or Vista 32 OS. Follow the steps.

For Vista64 & Win 7, please refer to http://www.bannco.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77&Itemid=60

Please take note to make sure to install this driver correctly. As you would be prompted a couple of times to install the driver. Some of the guys we know only let it install on the first prompt and skip the rest. Chances are it would still work but incomplete, and you would have problems on later part to patch firmware.

Firmware Patch (Version 1.7)

Bannco would patch their firmware every now and then to optimize the mouse responses until it is completely tweeked. We strongly recommended that you try the current version 1.7. It remove all previous known lags on the L1/L2/R1/R2 buttons. The mouse is also much smoother.

We have tested FRAGnStein with the lastest firmware 1.7. So, we can highly say that it worked well!

Follow the below link to see how you can patch. It is quite easy and would take less than 30 sec.

For the download of the firmware. Please click this below link.
http://www.bannco.com/FRAGnSteinUpgradeV17.exe

During the start of the firmware patch, it is good to have a 2nd mouse hooked, because the FRAGnStein would be sleeping. Press the dongle button and plug in at the same time to your PC USB port, holding for 2 to 5 seconds, and clicking on the firmware exe using the spare mouse. You should come to a GUI screen with the buttons of update and RF active.

Please refer to the screenshot below.



Once done unplug and replug to either your PC or PS3. Volia!

Should you have problems in and between these steps, please do not hesitate to email us with your contact number.

We are preparing an active HOTLINE soon to take care of your problems with FRAGnStein.

We got you guys covered. Keep on Fragging!
