Hi,

Just seen this on the OC site and wondered if anyone has one and how they find it for gaming?

I've played FEAR online and my logitech G5 mouse and keyboard just dont seem to give me the edge that other users have in destroying my ass so frequently. Recently got Cod4 and I'm finding myself looking at the keyboard half the time to find out where the key is to press to get grenades etc while in the heat of battle. Would this help for keeping everything at my'fingertips'

I have the older version and i've used it to play WoW for nearly 4 years.

Cant live without it. Great item, well worth the buy.

Tbh if you can't find the button for grenade whilst using a standard WSAD layout on a standard QWERTY keyboard, that gaming tool thing won't help much. You're still gonna be looking at it for the buttons to press. Just configure your controls better and get used to them.

Plus the thing only has like 14 buttons, and generally using WASD people use thumb on space for jump and pinky on left ctrl for crouch because it fits the hand nicely. If you can get used to using a keyboard for gaming correctly, then move onto this thing.

The general consensus seems to be that yes, it works BUT you must be prepared to spend time practicing with it. After all, it's a whole new control system.
