Another "tell us how *you* like it" thread for people new to games. This time its for gaming peripherals! This is really for users of things like gaming mice (Oroboros, G700s, M65), gaming keyboards (G910, Blackwidow, K70), and gaming keypads (Orbweaver, G13, nostromo.)

 

The nice things about these items is that there are often profiles you can "download" and share so be sure to reference those if you have them.

 

Unlike my mech loadout thread I think the format will be a little looser since depending on the type/make/model of the peripheral the terminology and layout may be different. So I am suggesting a format of:

 

Peripheral type

  • Mouse/Keyboard/Keypad (Yes I know you can look this up from make/model but we are trying to make this easy)

Make

  • Razer, Logitech, Corsair, Logitech (etc)

Model

  • Blackwidow, Oroboros, Orbweaver, (etc)

Deviations from stock mapping

  • All these devices come with "factory" key/button mappings. What we want to document is how you changed your keys to match Hawken's mapping, changing Hawken's mapping to match your keys, or any combination of the two.

Keyboard: $5 POS

 

Mouse: Corsair M65

 

I break things. I break them a lot. A good keyboard is too goddamn expensive to be constantly replacing, so I just buy cheap ones from iCan for $5 in bulk. They're also largely gimmicks, aside from macro functionality, which I don't use.

 

The M65 is the cheapest steel-aluminium frame on the market with good dpi, so that's the one I run with.

MY LEFT THUMB HAS ACCESS TO SIX BUTTONS. SIX. MY RIGHT THUMB HAS ACCESS TO TWELVE. I CAN PLAY WITH MY THUMBS ALONE. I AM IMMORTAL.

And that would be relevant if you'd been involved in a tragic lumbermill accident.

I run Orbweaver (six thumb buttons) and Oroboros (three thumb buttons) so I am not as godly as Mr Iguana above but I don't concur gampads and game mice are gimmicks. I really like the fact that I can now keep my fingers on the more primary (needing faster response) keys and leverage my thumbs for secondary (can be slower response) functions.

Mouse: Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 1.1 - an old mouse but a fantastic one. Got a good feel, just wish it was a slightly different shape for my hand but I love it to death.

Keyboard: Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 - It was cheap, it's comfortable, ergonomic, and it works.

As long as I can bind the weapon utility to another mouse button, thumb or pinky, the rest is pretty standard.

 

For my hardware I have CM Storm Spawn and Logitech G13 with swag lcd and lua scripting. Left thumbstick has items, left thumb buttons are enemy spot and call for help.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Entry level - when I noticed I could outpace my old POS mouse and KB:

Mouse: logitech g100s - simple 2 button mouse with adjustable DPI - 1650 on the mouse, in game sensitivity set at 6

KB: Logitech g105 - use macros for comms(s1! Or rtb full EU)

I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

Mouse: Sharkoon Drakonia Black http://www.sharkoon..../drakonia-black

I run it with 1000 polling rate and 8200 dps. I use a Mionix Propus 380 mouse pad with it.

Keyboard: Razor BlackWidow Utimate Stealth http://www.razerzone...ltimate-stealth

I really like this keyboard. The feel is nice and there really is a difference between mechanical keys and membrane keys. It feels solid.

Mouse: Razer DeathAdder 2013 - sensitivity set to 1100-or 1200 dpi depending on how accurate I'm feeling.

 

Keyboard: Logitech G710+ with Cherry MX Browns. Good for gaming, shitty for typing so I may switch this out.

Hm. Also hm.

First hm is that shitty isn't censored.

Second hm is that I also use the G710+, but as my posts above would indicate, not for gaming. I actually think it's pretty great for typing, and the dedicated macro keys allow you to do a hell of a lot with much greater speed than usual. My first instinct was to bind email addresses to them, and one profile still does that - but the others do things like quickly open or close certain programs, combine Alt and Tab as well as Alt Shift Tab, or even quickly bring up CMD or Task Manager.

What's poor about it for typing?

I use a Logitech g13 with thumb pad for movement.  

I remapped right click to the g11 key for steadier tows.  I've found right clicking moves the mouse.

G6 key mapped to space bar

 

Logitech g502 mouse.  One of the thumb keys "g5" mapped to shift.  Took a while to get used to this as I was playing with an mmo7 house till the thumb key snapped off.  The g502 is very slim and light comparatively but the tracking is exceptional.

 

Das Ultimate keyboard sits there and just looks pretty for typing only.

 

Logitech G430 headset does the job on a budget.

 

Steelseries I-2 mousepad.  I had this thing in the closet for a couple years as the glass surface makes a scratchy sound but hardly noticeable with a headset.

 

You don't notice how smooth the mouse pad is until you do have a headset on and don't hear the scratchy noise. 

 

3x asus vh238 monitors side by side in portrait with a single kingpin powering them.  The monitors are pretty crappy visually but plenty good for gaming.  The bezels kind of give you an added mech feel.

The first Hmmm is right.

 

Shitty shitty shitty.

 

I fully expected that to fuzzy bunny out, weird.

 

As for typing on the G710+, I find the keys too soft for my typing needs. Nice for quick game reactions but I guess I am naturally a slightly sloppy typer and having super responsive keys makes for eerrorrsss  :tongue:
