Pros: Button feel and placement Back lit keyboard (red works great at night to keep your eyes from straining) Heavy and sturdy construction Adjustable apps. (the count down timer comes in handy for games with "minutes" remaining rounds)

Cons: tilt not adjustable without putting something underneath it (I like to slouch so it's hard to see the keys unless it's tilted) Software versions vary greatly. Be sure to download the latest from Logitech. It will not detect newer software. Not smart enough to know that not all apps can run on this device. Have to be savvy and disable (configure) the settings manually.

Overall Review: I'd like to see: Cannot adjust individual key colors, I ended up turning off pretty much all the add-ons. I only care for the Clock and Countdown timer. Don't like the profiler either (might adjust them down the road but it's time consuming). Built a wooden tilt that the keyboard lays on to give me the proper angle that I want.

Pros: plenty of buttons, great for larger hands, stick is easy to hit, software is easy enough to use, unit stays put on desk (good grip from the feet), readout does what it's supposed to do, but not a reason to purchase, button pushes feel like typical Logitech (not too mushy, but not as crisp as Razer-based boards), really long cord

Cons: none

Overall Review: perfect for FPS once you give it a chance. I disable all but E & W on the directional pad; assign crouch and prone keystrokes to those directions -- and let the carnage begin. Super easy drop-shooting, and the ability to crouch/resume quickly. Try it -- you'll like it :)

Pros: Took a little time to get used to, software is very easy to use and setup. Be sure to download updated drivers, etc.

Cons: None at all!

Pros: Comfortable, well built, backlit, nice key placement and solid software. Logitech has great support forums and they actually talk back to the customers. They are currently working on a software upgrade to turn the joystick into an analog joystick. I bought this after seeing how communicative they were with their customers on their forums.

Cons: Your hands may or may not fit. I have decently sized palms but average sized fingers and the g13 fits fairly well. I could see If you had large hands the joystick being somewhat awkward. I would suggest trying it first at a retailer if at all possible.

Overall Review: I have never used the n52 te but i have checked it out at a retailer. I found the n52 to small and very constricting on my hands on my hands. Honestly i don't see any real need for this gamepad at all if you have a nice keyboard. You can get an extra 5-7 hotkeys on it as compared to a keyboard, which for mmo's is a nice bonus. For FPS's games i really dont see any need at all.

Pros: Feels comfortable and works well. LCD screen occasionally has useful info.

Cons: Locks up coming out of sleep mode. Support waits it's full 48 hours before responding to you and then has 2 paragraphs of apologies and assurances. Then one sentence suggesting to change options with no guidance on where to find them. Trying to figure out what they're talking about shouldn't require a Google search. Suggestions didn't work. I have it connected through a G19 so unplugging it and plugging it back in is easy enough and takes care of it, it's just annoying. Also no toll free support number. They obviously don't care that much after the sale.

Pros: Heavy, solid, ergonomic, easy to reach keys, NO MOVEMENT LAG, customizable backlight, easily programmable. Long story short, I bought this think after a not so great experience with the N52te. I tried playing UT3 and Bioshock and the thing lagged like mad while in game play. As you know, that spells death in an FPS. I called Belkin's tech support and they could not fix the issue at all. I finally sent it back to Newegg and ordered the G13. Guess what...NO LAG...instant rewsponse times, like my keyboard. I like the way the keys are laid out better, the Mapping buttons ARE customizable....(for those who say you cant change the map keys....please learn how to use the software before saying that...I remapped my M1,M2 and M3 keys easily. You just right click on the key in the GUI and go to Key function and there it is at the bottom of the menu. Now when i switch mappings, the colors on the keys and the LCD change to let me know which one I am using.

Cons: I dont really care for the joystcik placement. Yes, the software seemed to fix the "hat" issue but I dont really care about that cause I only use the joystick for strafe and backwards movement. I do think it is a little pricey.

Overall Review: Look, this gamepad is head and shoulders above the N52te. It has no lag and works fine. No cramping either after 2 hours of continuous play.

Pros: The big advantage of this setup is replacing the old WASD movement controls with the handy thumbstick. Stopping forward movement whenever you need to activate an ability becomes a thing of the past. The ergonomics took me a few days to get used to, but after trying a few configurations on my desk, I was able to use it without any numbness or discomfort. I personally enjoyed the LCD screen a lot, I usually play my games in windowed mode, but with autohide taskbar, and being able to run the time and date on the LCD meant that I can glance over and see the time without having you mouse out of the game. I enjoyed the ability to change the backlight to any color, it was cool to have it match my mouse and tower with the click of a button. The keybind controls are pretty advanced, you can set up instant release for games that trigger abilities on button release instead of button press, multi keybinds are easy. I have an alt+tab keybind on my g13 and I use it all the time.

Cons: The biggest issue with this pad is that some games have compatibility issues. I bought it for ESO and it worked like a dream, but when I play STO, alt tabbing switches the profile and it takes a second or two for me to regain control from the g13. Sometimes if I'm turning and firing off keys it acts up on STO. It's still usable or else I would not have given the g13 5 stars, there's just some issues to get used to.

Overall Review: If you're trying to decide between this and the Razer product line, I recommend the g13 for MMOs and the Razer line for shooters. The LCD gives less benefit in a shooter where you literally cannot look away, but you get more buttons and a higher quality thumbstick with the g13. The improved ergonomics on the Orbweaver are more useful in a shooter. Just my 1c. Enjoy!

Pros: I love this new game board! It has so many features that i had to spend a decent amount of time becoming aware of all of it's features, and will be working with this a lot to take my game to the next level! The logitech software is relatively intuitive, and the number of games it has configurations for is huge. At first, there was a real learning curve. Learning another device means that I am going to have to learn it from scratch, just as if i was learning to use a keyboard or mouse from scratch. It feels a bit odd at first, but I'm slowly adjusting. The LED display is bright, you can change the color, and the readout gives you anything you need to know at that time. The joystick and buttons are easily programmed, and feel very solid, I can't find anything negative! Macro's aren't all that hard for even a novice to build, so be prepared to be blown away with how useful this little gadget can be. I would recommend this to anyone starting to learn how to operate a gameboard, and to experienced users alike.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Even if you are not a normal player of first person shooters, it is good practice to figure out this device using a practice game. I wouldn't recommend stressing it too much the first few days you own it, but it's great for adjusting to the feel of the controls, and will help you gauge how comfortable you are getting with it.
