Gaming keypads

[SpartanAmy107]

Keypads. I absolutely love my Wolfking Warrior:



It may look silly, but it is absolutely great, all those keys within quick reach of your hand. Especially the O B right next to the space bar. 

Unfortunately, they are Membrane, and I've had it a while and no-one seems to be making anything similar to this anymore.

Razer make the Orbweaver which is a good product, but it's literally just a keyboard shaped produce, doesn't increase the keys you could potentially press with one hand.

Unless anyone knows of anything else I think the industry should make stuff like this again.

I have played for about 2 years with a razer orbweaver, it was awesome experience but the build quality was atrocious and i was glad it broke down on warranty and got my money refunded, waiting for a serious company like asus or corsair to build something reliable now and I am back with my keyboard

I would love a Corsair Gamepad... would patch my Corsair Scimitar beautifully.

Mmm...Logitech G13 I have experience with.  Pretty nice set of mapping features.

 

AULA Excalibur Master looks interesting as well.

If only the Wolfking Warrior was Mechanical like the AULA Excalibur!

Those are all good options but are still laid out like a keyboard, I was looking for something like the Wasdio FPS controller that failed to get support.

I am just waiting for a solid ergonomic mechanical keypad to come out before I invest in one, I use a lot of my keys in games and I need to be be able to use all of them on the fly.

That wouldn't work for FPS, you'd literally have to keep moving it to keep going forwards

It's basically a mouse, right? So you have to keep an upward movement would be required to move forwards?

no you can use the buttons on it but I believe it doesnt go well with win10

That seems to be in line with a lot of these products above, Windows 10 really did kill Gaming peripherals

Personally (and this is out of FPS experience) the orbweaver is quite nice, adding 6-10* buttons to your thumb, and for in combat movement and gadget functions is just dandy (10 is only if you are precise enough to hit all 8 seperate spots on the thumb stick, but 4 is just dandy). The ability to use multiple profiles with quick switching can also add to this, going from 20+6 buttons/thumb stick to 120+54 different controls, thought technically minus one or two for profile changing buttons.

I'm not sure what you play but personally I love it for rainbow 6 siege, mind that I have a 6 thumb button mouse as well, but besides pinging, I have all combat necessary controls avalible without removing fingers from movement keys (thumb stick for leaning crouching and reload, mouse for push to talk grenades, prone, walk, fire rate, scanning, and melee)
