Your thoughts on Belkin n52te game pad for WoW?

[Goldie_Locks]

Considering new alternatives for my dual boxing experience. In general have any of you guys experimented with gamepads like this one with WoW:

Belkin n52te ('http://www.n52te.com/')

I understand there is a joystick like control on your thumb area. Do
WoW users prefer this type of movement or do you use the
up,down,left,right, keys on the keyboard if you have this still?

My friend has one and i played on it and really didn't like it as cool as it looks. to press any of the buttons on the top row felt like i was really stretching my fingers

I have 1 of these, and I love it, the thumbpad at first feels a bit awkward to use, but once you force yourself to learn to use it, you dont have to touch your mouse much at all. Its very weird feeling being able to run threw an instance using only one hand....but hey that free's up the other hand for that massive cup of coffee for those all night grind sessions right.

I spent the better part of a day setting up my macro's and Bongos/whatever the new version is called, you can get all your keybinds setup and its beautiful. After that this was a dream to wow with.

Hasn't this been discussed already?there should be a master thread on the most popular hardware stuffs for keyboard alternatives, with reviews and all.

When these left hand game pads first come out, I told myself I would wait for it to be made for the right hand and combined with a laser mouse.

I've been playing with one of these for several months, and just love it.

The only time I have to touch the keyboard is when typing in the chat window.

I do, however, still us the mouse a lot, I have a mouse with 9 or 10 buttons on it (Logitech MX Revolution ('http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/130&cl=ca,en')) (the thumb 'wheel' has three click positions)

Between the two it is awsome, thumb on the mouse = Alt or Control or Shift, which allows the 14 buttons on the n52te to be 52 buttons.

Anyway, it has my vote.
