n52te or G13

[Holmeser]

Hi, i'm going to buy a gamepad and have checked around both on this site and others for reviews. It seems like the two best are The Belkin n52te and The Logitech G13. I have searched and read many posts on DB.com but still cannot decide.
I've never used one and have got some questions;
On the n52te is it enough buttons?
which is more comfy?
which is easier to use?
What do you find you use the buttons for/ are there enough (too many <G13>)?
Thanks

I've had both. Used an N52 for solo play for quite some time.
Recently bought a g13. Not absolutely certain that more buttons is actually better.
I find I cant reach all the buttons easily - even when my fingers are placed on the home keys
on the device. Although triggering stuff round about those keys was easy enough.

The best advice I could give - get your hands on one of each (preferably before buying and seeing which feels more comfortable to you).

I must actually get this setup for multiboxing.

thanks for the advice
Don't quite know how im gonna do that its more of a replacement birthday present for someone, think i'm just gonna go with the n52te and move up to the g13 if its not enough.
Thanks Shae
See ya around on veture co.

Yeah - haven't played the locks on venture co for a few days. Need to run them to SFK and boost them through a few times.
Forgot to mention I've got a level 70 pally on there Ashtara so add him to friends and I'll come and help out if need be.
(Not sure what level your pallies are though so you probably dont need my help).

I played on a N52 (original, not "te") for years. When the G13 came out, I bought it immediately.

Let's just say that would my G13 break down, I would not even bother taking the N52 back up from the basement, I would just refrain from playing until I have a new G13. it is that good.

More keys make a BIG difference to me. The thumb stick is great (I had my doubts about it before my purchase, just from seeing pictures). The keys themselves feel like high quality keyboard stuff (much better than the N52 that always felt rather cheap). The hand position is much more comfortable. Etc, etc...

Software is pretty similar in functionalities on both products (still talking about original N52 here, I don't know the N52te).

I find the LCD display useless, and the G1 key (top left one) is not the easiest to reach, but that not enough to really complain about anything.

My advice : go for the G13, it is a great product.

G13 is the way to go I have both and g13 is easyer to use all the keys and also the backlit lighting is great for knowing what key for what chars IE blue shamans, pick for paladins

The only issue I have with my G13 is I haven't found where I can change the backlight colour like it tells me I can on the box.

open up your logitech profiler
then where you see the M1,M2,M3 click on the it and it should open up the color picker

My current set up is the 41 button FANG and 15 button WoW mouse.

I find myself wanting for more buttons, however. In my pally + 4 shaman team, I don't have all of my totems available.
