What gamepad/gaming-keyboard do you use?

[lokkers]

I've just put Vista on my machine (dual boot) and my N50 Nostromo doesnt seem to work anymore (it doesnt in XP x64 either). Its made me think that perhaps now is the time to either find an alternative or go back to using a keyboard like most normal people

With that in mind, I wondered what everyone else was using? I primarily play fps games, and I've found the Nostromo superb since my MOHAA days (obviously a console-style pad would be useless).

What about everyone else?

I know, i'm odd

But in all seriousness I've found the Nostromo to be really good, because keyboard buttons arent placed in vertical straight lines, and I only have little hands Trouble is, i suspect Belkin have given up development on the drivers for it (no x64 for example) and so come Vista I'll have to go back to using a K/B (no mean feat after 5+ years of using the n50!)

Keyboard - Standard Logitech keyboard
Mouse - Logitech MX518, best mouse I've used (Edit, I'm on 518, not 510 any more )
Mouse Pad - Func 1030, not bad, though there's probably far better ones out there.
Wheel - Logitech Momo - For all those lovely Sim games out there

Keyboard - Saitek Eclipse
Mouse - Razer Diamondback
Mousemat - IceMat

No problems here, all brilliant and definatly helped in games (higher scores etc)

 

[benjo]

Saitek Eclipse + Razer Viper & Razer eXactmat (old school mouse = win)

 

[Raikiri]

Combo 1 - Saitek Eclipse + Logitech MX510 + S&S Steelpad

Combo 2 - Apple pro keyboard (when I get round to buying one) + MS 6000 Laser mouse + S&S Steelpad

Both are really comfortable to use and fairly good value for what you get, the 6000 is better for lefties as it is ambidextrous

I've got not problems with gameplay, I've just found the nostromo really comfortable for gaming, and wondered what everyone else was using (especially as support for the N50 seems to have ended )

Mouse wise I use an MX510 and an icemat, K/B is a Logitech media (iirc).

Just looking for inspiration on a replacement (or pursuasion to go back to using a K/B )

 

[Black Dog]

Saitek backlite keyboard
Razer Diamondback (of course)
Allsop mousemat

Used to use the nostromo but found the keys to be a little hard to press otherwise very comfortable.

[BigAndy]

Both works fine for me .

 

[sargatanas]

Keyboard - Saitek Eclipse(would have went for the G15 but a little out of my price range)

Mouse - Logitech G5, awesome mouse, so smooth and accurate.

Oh yeh I knew that. Was just saying if other people were wondering if gaming designed stuff helped, it does.

i use a logitech MX1000 which is pretty good.

keyboard i have a zboard with various custom ketsets, its expensive but i think its such a big help, i've noticed that i enjoy games a lot more as i'm not struggling to remember where each button is.
