Thanks styrafoam!

I agree with this statement 100%. I would just like add that IMO that doesn't mean the KB is the pinnacle of FPS input devices to compliment the mouse, Unless the 'gamepad' interfaces like a keyboard... I have to disagree that this is a real obstacle... I see no problem using the...

Thanks for your contribution!

You need driver version 3.03 to use the thumbs-tick as a real Analog Stick (ala Xbox Controller). That is the latest version as of right now. I'm assuming this doesn't break compatibility with games, and it should still be an 'non-issue'. I have my doubts. (e.g. I have a feeling that if I...

Thanks for the reply. I'm not looking to use the WASD-like buttons. I'm specifically asking about the thumb-stick for WASD movement. I hear this complaint a lot about the thumb-stick. There is a fairly simple and well documented mod to improve it as you've described. It sounds like...

I don't know if I agree that this genre of hardware device (n52/g-13) will die. Years ago there was only one of these, now there are several competing products. That leads me to believe they are here to stay for at least the foreseeable future. I could be wrong. I do agree that the...

I don't know the answer to this question. My understanding is that it is possible to map G13 keys to keyboard keys, and, with the newest drivers, it is possible to emulate a PS3-type controller Analog stick. I don't know if this means I can use the thumb-stick to play Doom3 with WASD...

Full disclosure: I have not read the comments to date in this thread, so if you want my opinion on something please ask me specifically. I'm old enough to remember the days of Atari, INTELLIVISION, Commodore, and OF COURSE the NES. I had a C64 with NO OS. It'd boot into some flavor of...

You might be right. I've been following this niche market for a few years. My main beef is that the wrist-rest should actually be an analog stick with a short range of motion. I might be wrong about that. Maybe the thumb-stick is the way to go (this way you don't have to move your palm...

I've spent hours and days trying it, but maybe I just needed a few more. If it doesn't work out with the G13 I'll have no choice, anyway.

Hey all. I was just baptized into this forum when I wanted to gripe about keyboards for FPS gaming in my first post. Long story short, I wanted something like this to replace the keyboard for my left hand in FPS. I know it wouldn't work for technical reasons, but I was talking in theory...

I'm done with this. I'm not gonna bother reading all that, and I'm not going to get into a public flaming contest with you. I'm not a very good flamer. I'll just say it one last time, and if you want to argue it, please take it to my PMs. If you keep going in here this is what you are...

Thanks for the info. I just realized I am talking about the G13, and you guys are talking about the G15. As of right now I'm leaning toward the G13 because I've heard that driver version 3.0.3 (just released) allows you to change that thumbpad it has into a real console-style analog stick.

Oh, the joys of joining a new forum. What exciting bomb of forum politics will I detonate with a simple statement of preference. Let's find out... Thanks for that anecdotal report. You've convinced me beyond doubt that WASD is better for you. I'm still not gonna switch, nor will I...

I'm comfortable with WASD. I have no choice but to be, since some games force it. I just prefer arrows. I spent hours trying to convince myself I _loved_ WASD (in lieu of Arrows) and decided one day I couldn't do it, and wouldn't play games that required it. I wish it had worked out between...
