I don't understand how I would even use the G13. It looks unnatural.
You bind movement to the thumbstick and your hotkeys are on the keypad. Once you get used to it you will never want to use a keyboard again. It's like the difference between using a controller or a mouse to play a FPS.

And when you want to type I guess you have to switch? Meh.

Also, I like to have rotate and strafe keys for casters. I assume you'd have to bind some sort of push down toggle thingy or something.

I never bind turning to a key only strafe. Don't need to type mych in games so that really isnt an issue. Taking my hand off of the gamepad to type when i'm already taking it off the mouse isn't a big deal.
 
^^^ Typing is a non issue. it sits just to the left of the keyboard just like a mouse. The amount of things you can do with it is crazy. On the fly macro's, profile switching to name a few. It will take you a couple weeks to a month for it to become second nature but once it does its very nice. The joystick on the side is actually usable so if ya want to use it for movement you can or you can set it to other shit and use the keys to move like a keyboard. I highly recommend it.

Hmm I might give it a try, but keyboard tray is small... though I do need to replace this monster size Razr mechanical keyboard with something that has a working K key after 1 year... I don't know why I key buying Razr shit, it always disappoints me.

I see you are in phoenix. Go to fyy's. They have one on display that you can get the feel for. A little tip that I learned that made it comfortable for me. Put your thumb behind the joystick and not on top of it.

I like the nostromo, but It only works well for MMO's imo. Wildstar I had to change the double press dashes because it would constantly go off on the joystick.
Ending up just macroing them.

Or you just stop being a bunch of filthy casuals and get some real controllers.

Best combo ever - tho i prefer the logitech mmo mouse to the razer.

We currently have an alarmingly good stratification of classes...
Yes, yes we do. Hopefully that helps anyone that was undecided just go with whatever it is they enjoy playing without worrying about having too much of X class.

I'll probably go with the logitech for my next one or that goofy ass looking cyborg mmo mouse. This naga is going 3 years strong after my first one lasted a year and no need to repalce it yet.

I use a g600. Don't think I will ever go back to a mouse that has less then 6 buttons. I can't use the g13, my thumb just does not like using joystick in the position its in.

It's funny that bayr has resorted to whining about wsad and using 1 for his builder.

If you ever have the chance to use one again I highly recommend positioning your thumb behind the joystick instead of on top. Try it in a best buy or something.

The wasd 1 complaint is just so fucking out there I actually got a laugh out of it. Next up is the language filter being on by default.

The only issue I have with WS control setup is the lack of mouse free look. I tried out the Deadlock Extended addon for a few minutes the other night, was having an error message keep popping up while fighting, so I disabled it. Though now I think I know what the issue was (just spamming my builder too fast), so while I had it active, it made the game much better. Now if I could rebind keys to LMB/RMB...

Question about the list of classes, considering the nearly even split between Exile/Domi, is that list for one or the other, or just in general?

I'm pretty sure he's agreeing with my original point though
He's agreeing with your gripe about the default controls being clunky, then he...much like the rest of us all agree that you have the power to change them and if you don't it's your own fault and you have no one to blame but yourself.

I'm not complaining on my personal behalf, but because I have to play with shitters who will likely be struggling as a direct result of the dumb controls

Although in Wildstar's case the controls are never not clunky even utilizing every avenue of customization that is currently available

As for the first part, that's their fault. Not the game or anyone elses. Theirs.

As for the second, I totally disagree. You can customize it however you want. You're basically saying "no matter how you customize the controls they will always be clunky" and that's just not true, just like its not true with every other video game ever created. Ever. (as long as you can fully customize them, which you can here.)

Now you're just spouting bullshit. By your own admission, you haven't even used those customizations.

i know there are mods but they are rudimentaryfrom what I'm reading
Just shut the fuck up already.

With headstart coming up in less than a week I still don't know if I want to actually play this. Hmmmm
