But with my cheap ass old PC and lack of gaming time... 4 hours to 8 hrs a week, I still feel I beat most people on occasion, BUt instead of a 3000.oo PC maybe a G 13 Gamepad is what I need? I like to win, do you still use a MOUSE with game pad? Awards

It is a Belkin product, but looks exactly like the G13 above, prolly the same product with a different brand name stuck on it. Anyhoo, I *MUST* have it play now, I love it, I don't see how people can play with a regular keyboard. It doesn't take long to get used to it, and resting your hand (just using your fingers) instead of holding your hand up takes a lot of stress & fatigue off your wrist. Often I hear guys say "gonna take a break, need to rest my hand"....betchya they are using a regualr keyboard. What I do a lot of the time when I play, is turn sideways and kick my feet up on a chair, prop my right elbow up on the desk to mouse with, and pull the keypad into my lap & lean back. Very comfortable. I tore my lower back up a few years ago carrying a 60 pound boat battery up steps, and this is a VERY comfortable-on-the-back way to play. So effectively, I need the keypad for my back..... but it works great & I would highly recommend it to anyone. Hi Ferret, how long did it take you to get used to it? Awards

I found it easy and quick. The keys can be programmed to match the keyboard commands and will be in the same location. The other controls are easily set and learned. One or two games and you will have it. It's a piece of cake to learn and you can't beat the comfort.

It takes time to get it properly configured and to get used to it. I didn't like the thumb button all that much. Im using a RAzer Lycosa (backlit) keyboard and I think its great. I wish, however I could find a better mouse than the Razer Death Adder I have...I don't really wanna spend a lot of cash unless I know I will be getting something better. I don't use macros and all the fancy extra buttons and I find that configuring mice could be kinda difficult at times. I need to find a smoother, easy to use mouse...any suggestions? Thanks I use a Kensington Trackball. http://www.kensington.com/kensington/us/us/p/1444/K72327US/slimblade%E2%84%A2-trackball.aspx Awards
