Old school G15 = Win, Enjoy!

Yea the new G15 and G19 suck..gaming keyboard and they remove most of the hotkey banks..wtf?

Mouse, so long as you like it hope it works for you. I personally hate the Razer mice.

Same here, I've tried a few but they aren't comfy at all.
After an hour or so I start getting cramps using those.

I'm a satisfied user of the cordless desktop wave actually.

Nice. I was bouncing between getting an old school G-15 and a Tarantula, but due to them being so scarce retail I settled for a Stealth Merc. Mouse I use is a Razer Death Adder and exactly what I wanted.

Well, I think the Razer might have been intended for big hands. I've been able to use it non stop and its wonderful.

Though, I had to turn my wrist rest counter clockwise. So it didn't get in the way. It really need a flat surface.

I'm an average dutch guy in length and weight.
Trust me, I have quite big hands.

Razer mice just always gave me cramps after an hour of playing with them.
I just can't get used to the shape of the mouse, it feels unnatural to me.

Really?

*ponders*

What about relaxing your index and middle finger?

Don't Knock my Razer Anaconda mouse!!

I imagine it has less to do with hand size and more to do with how you hold the mouse. Most of the users I know who like the Razer hold the entire mouse in their palm (Am I wrong in your case?). I use what is called the fingertip grip since I tend to play a good deal of FPS, where literally the only thing touching the mouse is my thumb, forefinger, middle finger and ring finger tips. So due to that I tend to prefer the lightest and most sensitive mouse I can find, in my case the G7.

It really irks me though that they new G19 has less hotkeys then the old G15. I really liked the look of the new kb and some of its functions that my G15 doesn't have. Add that too my G15 is starting to get pretty worn and it frustrates me since the good G15 is getting fairly hard to find now.

Anaconda.... wth was I thinking? I meant Death Adder. Also My Razer mouse has been disassembled, swapped out with pink LEDs and re-assembled. I do Fingertip grip on my mouse. I do not hold it fully in my palm. I let my thumb and pinky guide the mouse. That way my fingers are arched on the mouse buttons and less strain to push the buttons. Same goes for my side buttons on my mouse.

I use my Tarantula Keyboar with the battle light on the board. I have my own web cam so I don't need Razers. I also use razer's mako 2.1 Sound System and Razer Barracuda Sound Card. That sound card sounds amazing. The Best Investment I ever made. I use it with Fallout 3 and Microsoft Train Simulator all the time.

You are one of the few who i have met who uses that grip with that mouse. I tried that mouse and it just didn't work for me for that. Just goes to show there is something for everyone.

Post by **Karou Ariyen** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 7:30 pm

same thing i do with my real guitar, I arch my fingers. My joints refuse to respond other wise when holding a guitar or mouse any other way :3

How are the drivers with the Barracuda? I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality, but the drivers rely on "registration" for them to work properly. That smacks almost of spyware in my eyes.

Never noticed a problem with that. Runs fine for me.

Razer Lachesis broke.

Apparently changing the side keys are too much for it to take.

*sigh*

And not even two fucking months!

that didnt take long... Mental note.. don't buy one of those...

Post by **Fiye** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 10:15 pm

Talked to customer service. Was easy and sh*t, and hopefully they'll send a new one.

Which hopefully won't break.

'cuz if it does I better get my goddamn money back.

I dont use a mouse o.o I only use my trackpad on my Mac, with a app called multiclutch it lets me assign gestures to my hotkeys.

For example - 4 finger swipe left is equal to Ctrl + 1

Post by **Sugami** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 9:05 am

Gestures? What's middle finger assigned to?
