New gaming keyboard, any tips?

congrats

 

The hell? *raise* I've got an old Belkin N52 (not the TE version, just the straight N52) Still using it. Win 7 = NO problem...belkin software still humming right along, been using it for YEARS and will cry rivers (literally) if/when it ever gives up the ghost.

There is NOTHING peripheral related that you can buy for your gaming habit that will do you better or be more useful to you than an N52 (regardless of manufacturer, though I hear nothing good about the Razer version's DPad). For most games, the best setup you will ever find is either a Throttle + Mouse (for games you want to control movement in beyond DPad), or the N52 + Mouse (For just about everything esle). Used an N52 for years in WoW + SWToR and there's nothing more efficient.

Why does your N52 Not work in Win 7? (I've read that in reviews also...)

Gratz on the Logitech Keyboard...I've got a G15 with Screen...I never use it other than for typing when I end up typing something. While I love the screen, it's fairly useless, and the G Macro Keys are great...except they're so far out of reach that I have to look down to hit any of them.

Don't get me wrong, I love my G15...but only because I’m one of those people who says "Well, I MIGHT use this at some point in the future...so I've GOT TO HAVE IT!"

I've considered putting text based commands into the G Keys to spew out at the begging of a PUG Match ("Tanks make sure you're spamming Shield Block", "I'm pulling, the rest of you are CC'ing what's coming in"...that sort of thing).

Not that I expect I would ever be listened to, but it might make me feel better about it.

 

I wish I knew. Right now if I press a key "a" to turn, after I have let go of the key i would still be turning. I have to press it again to get it to stop. I do not know if it is the drivers or the pad itself. Either way it has become unusable. Quite disappointing, like you I used it for everything.

 

You want me to package up the old belkin drivers and send them to you? I don't know if the N52 Drivers will work with the N52TE or not but if it's a driver issue, the drivers I'm using definitely work for me...

 

Bought the logi G 510 a year ago and still can't touchtype with it. Feels like the keys are one spot to the left. Gaming wise it's great, with the macro keys and wrist rest it's very comfortable to use.
