    I had bought this because I'm left handed and tryng to use the arrow key's are a pain in the a**! The movement keys are in a perfect spot. And like everyone else the jump key ya just got get used to. Before gettin this I was going backward when I wanted to go left. I've only had it for 2mo's but now i can get things that much quicker and dont get my teammates mad at me all the time, so someone else can be the front man or the one that gets stuck guarding the cow dung! you can do so much more things with one hand on this. Just putit in my lap and away we go. you can do more than just gaming on it too. like watching video's. Anywho the improvement's could lighted keys, moving the jump key maybe using your the your palm at the edge. And if this is from the military there should be a better one in a few years or month's I'm very happy with this, if your are a lefty this is like your secret weapon.

    This game-pad is phenomenal for FPS games. It's always easy to find the butterfly shaped D-Pad and you don't get confused like I do sometimes with a regular keyboard or other game-pads where every key feels the same while your head is looking at the screen. Unlike other game-pads, this one is very left-handed friendly with a perfectly symmetrical design. It took an hour to get used to but after that, you'd never want to go back. The software for mapping keys is also as easy as you can get. Anyone who is an avid FPS gamer would be doing themselves a disservice to not get this. This pad was with me all the way through Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Stranglehold, Prey, Gears of War, and many many more.

    The Fang gamepad is pretty cool. I never really thought about getting a gamepad, I didn't think it would help. However, I'm one of those old school guys that still uses the arrow keys for movement in games. The thing is, is that there isn't nearly as many buttons over there next to the arrow keys, so when you get into games that has alot of different funtions its gets hard to be able to reach all the buttons. So that is why I got this and I must say it was worth it. It does take some getting used to when you first get it and I don't like that you have to turn the software on and load a profile for each game but its not that big of deal. Once you get the hang of it you won't want to go back simply because of all the different buttons. On americas army I can finally change weapons without moving my hands CLEAR up to the number keys. Some people complain about the jump key on the side but i think it is perfect it just takes some getting used to. This gamepad might not be as helpful for mo... Read more

    If this had lighted keys it would be perfect. Until then, I'm sticking with the Merc Stealth Illuminated gaming keyboard.

    I have owned this thing for close to a year now (maybe more). I use it mostly in mmorpg's. (everything from WoW, Daoc, EVE, EQ2) I like this kinda pad for mmorpg's because when you pvp timing of your hotkeys is critical. With as closely compact as all the keys are here, as well as the large amount of keys your get it makes it a perfect fit for mmo's. If i could have given this a 4.5 star rating I would have. I mentioned the room to improve. My only complaint is the ergonomics (button layout) on this pad. While the red direction buttons are about as perfect as you could ask for for layout and prominence, the problem is all the other buttons. There is a learning curve to memorizing where they are in relation to your direction keys if you wanna be instantaneous accurate at all times. (hardcore mmo players here all know we need anywhere between 4-16 hotkeys depending on the class you play.. hunting for a key isnt something you wanna deal with in pvp) Once you memorize the layout of cou...

    Only thing this piece needs is more weight... it tends to slide around too much for my taste. Weight it down and you have a winner!
