Please help me to choose gaming controllers.

AshySamurai

Hi. The last few days I spend more time in google and youtube than in game. The cause of it that I want to change my controllers. Now I need to pick out from a few options and I don't know what to choose. Hope you guys help me with your advices. I'm not the one who can buy all this every week, so this is very important to me.

First of all, I play not only in ESO, but FPS (my last FPS is Titanfall) and RTS (SC2 of course) some time.

And here is the first question. The question about mouse. Mostly I play ESO, so I thinking about MMO mouse. And I have two options - Razer Naga or Bloody Commander ML16. What do you think? Which mouse is better? Maybe you or your friends had experience with one of those mouses? About my hand size - it's not small (yep, I'm talking about comfort).

The second question is what to prefer - keyboard or keypad? In my opinion I don't need gaming keyboard and keypad at the same time, right? So I just need to choose one. I thinkin about Razer Orbweaver. What you can say about this pad? Does it worth to buy or it better to buy keyboard? And if yes, which one? There are so many of them.

Hope you'll help me to make a right desigion.

Keypad + mouse (razor naga)

Keypad(Logitech g13) + mouse (razor naga) is what I have been using for some time now, pretty happy with that combo ...or maybe just accustomed to it. If you can get used to it, I highly recommend binding your directional and strafe movement keys to the g13 thumb joystick.

I'm really content with the following setup:

Mouse: Logitec G700

Keyboard: Steelseries zMerc Stealth (the driver software is crappy, but the hardware is excellent. I never again want to be without that left hand gaming section that lets me reach all relevant buttons without lifting my hand.)

Gamepad: Xbox 360 wireless controller. (It's very decent and you can't beat the compatibility. Granted, I don't use gamepads much.)

TBH I'm the fan of wireless mouses. Bad first experience and now every time I hold wireless mouce I just wait for lag or something else. So I dont think I can use it without worring that it do something wrong.

I use gamepad only when I played Devil May Cry 3 and 4. I dont feel like I need it.

I saw this keypad. But I also read that mechanical is better for FPS. Is that true? You as a user of this keypad can confirm that information?

I've never had any issues with this one or its predecessor. But I believe there's a corded version of the same mouse.

Considered this, but decided to go for the all-in-one solution of the zMerc board, which is mechanical I think.

I haven't tried the Mechanical though it looks good, very similar to the G13 looks a bit more ergonomic, maybe the thumb control is more precise for FPS performance? I would have to try one. I would miss the LED screen though. I imagine you would be good either way, both would take some getting used to but worth it once you did.

Cant find any information about that. Official page dont provide any information about it. If you want to know for sure, you can remove the key and see machanical it or not.

I'm not a fan of 360 controllers and any other gamepads.In my opinion it's cool for MK or DMC, but not for ESO and FPS. I dont tell about RTS. I even cant imagine how to play SC with that controller. Only mouse and hotkeys.

Thx for advice. I found that the question orbweaver vs g13 is very popular in the internet.

I have a question...since i voted other.... i'm the only one here who use a gamepad? i still think is the best way to play...and since this game do not support gamepads i can make my personal setup with xpadder and use the fantastic ps4 gamepad (yes i use it om pc since no good games has been released on ps4) the way i want and not adapt to a standard controller set up, that most of the time are made really bad....so ...... gamepad for life!!!!!!!

He certainly does, which is probably why he made one.

It might be because it's a general question regarding something he's going to play the game with.

Edit: I run with a Nostromo + Hex myself. Tried the 12 button Naga but fat fingers are fat and whatnot...

LOL!1! I have the exactly the same answers, but I decide to not feed forum trolls)))

About fingers - I cant say it about myself. My fingers looks pretty normal.

Seems hex 6 buttons enough for the ESO skills bar. Nostromo - I like that it have additional scroll. But is this scroll even usefull?
