It's dead Jim!

That new pad looks nice, however not sure if the handle is too large to fit comfortably with my one-handed grab. I will need to go to a store and see if I can test one out there before I purchase.

I can't buy anything this week because of an unexpected expense that swallowed most of my paycheck. That's okay though because I could use the time to decide what I want exactly.

I'll kepp you all informed of my GamePad adventures though.

Cham3l3on: The setup seems more awkward to "outsiders" than it actually is. I first tried it because the keyboard just wasn't working out well for me; and I thought to myself "This may be strange but if it works, go for it". So I played with it for a few hours; and I was shocked how quickly using the Cross-Pad for movement became instinctual.

And no more wrist or finger strain from the keyboard.

Roger, yeah everyone has to do what is best for their setup. Have you looked at the Nostromo?

(or the less expensive version)

Quite pricey there but you can find them cheaper elsewhere on the net. WaXed used one for 2k4 and loved it.

I've already suggested those, I use an n52 myself. He won't consider anything remotely keyboard-like, not even The Claw.
