Heyas all, need some opinions and or reviews.
I am after a new game controller, and want to know what folk think or know (or think they know) about whats available.
Imma currently useing a pair of Nostromo Gamepads: an N52 as my primary interface, and an N50 as secondary. Design and programability are great, but unfortunately the physical shape is starting to cramp up my hand... and I just cant have that!
Previously, I had been useing a Thrustmaster TacBoard, but it wore out.
Looking online, I have found two new gameboards, the Fang and the G13.
The Fang from Ideazon (http://www.ideazon.com/ca/products/fanggamepad.asp) looks to be a little more robust than the ZBoard. I have much love fer my ZBoard from twitch gaming, and the Z Engine is functional and flexible, but the inserts/overlays felt a little flimsy to me. So, has anyone seen or used one of these?
The Logitech G13 (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gamin ... &cl=us,en#) is flatter in shape to the N52, and will solve my wrist aggrivation (insert dirty joke here). I know peeps have experience with the G11 and G15 keyboards, so how sturdy are they, and how easy are they to program? And, has anyone seen or used one of these?
Is there anything else out there that I should check out?
Thankee fer yer input! I will be sure to give it due consideration before ignoring it entirely.
