omg this wasnt made for first person shooters. your talking to pc gamers some of us spend 1000$ on a graphics card 70$ is nothing lol/

i dream about that thing when play Lineage2. you need 10-15 macro key, 10 regular key and you don't need accuracy in movement. So for MMO this is great.

i bought one 10 molnth ago and after hmm 4 weeks this is a QoL change for me. I still use wasd (on the keypad of course^^) for moving but for the thumbjoystick i put needed skills for my games for example forward is sprint up is rezzing (in ff14^^) and so on last month i was at my best friend for a week for hardcore gaming and I FORGOT MY KEYPAD at home, it was sooooooooo stressy to play at my friend without one that i ordered a second one just to stay at his house^^

man just do like me and remove cap lock and remap it to shift and put CTRL on the last one below it Edit: still using my super old razer nostromo.

listen you zip, i don't need to hear from a gook about my peripheral need vs want

Just bought the game at the $5 store. Cant wait to play it with my family.

This makes my transition from console to pc easier and makes games like swtor more approachable

why the f do monitor manufactures refuese to do 24 inch 1440p-4k if there is literally 1440p and 4k phones and laptops wtf, you cannot see a diffrence between a 1080p phone and a 1440p phone the pixels are so small already but the people saying 1080p is sharp enough for a 24 inch monitor are insane, even 1440p is not exactly enough its good but 4k on such screens is not useless.

You haven't talked about macros at all. Binding each button different macros is a lifesaver for most mmos.

С этой штукой удобно играть в РПГ лёжа на диване, подключив комп к телевизору.

bro didn't even talk about sound quality of them

A lot of industry professionals use these for work. The Logitech G13 is still king but aren't in production anymore. So this is the less ideal but only alternative it seems. Thanks for the honest review.

With recording music on my phone with it, my voice sounds great through my headphones when I hear myself, then I play it back and it doesn’t sound anything like what I heard it sounds far away and terrible, I use BandLab.

i want to place macro of addresses on each of the keys and don't want my regular keyboard to trigger the macros on the tartarus. is it possible?

And also, it's not an "analog stick" 🙏

Ok you triggered me, I will make a review of this and absolutely convince you it's not a toy but a real thing

Smartphones do not take advantage of even full hd ... because the scream is so small so the pixels ... only tablets and notebooks start to use 1080P real potential . QHD on a smartphone is very nonsense , just give us uncompressed content in 1080P instead...

That's 6 inches? I've been lied to.

I got the st800 but after setting it up, and using it the correct way, it just doesn't sound crisp like yours. It sounds really muddy. Although it is very clean and professional, the high and detailed frequencies are just so minimal and it doesn't sound good raw. I'm able to eq it and make it sound better, but something is just off about it and I was wondering if there's anything you did with your microphone that might've enhanced the quality, or if there's anything I did that might've decreased it. Keep in mind I'm talking about the st800 since its probably the same thing

7:31 i used a slide out under desk keyboard trey

Not sure if the KZbinr here recorded this video on the ST900. But wanted to find a mic that is naturally very boomy.

got the Pro version £129 today as BD gift. At first, not so much, after about 2 hours, loving it! my desk has 2 levels/layers, so i just moved my keyboard up 1 layer and i have the main desk just for this device and my mouse, and i can still use my keyboard as it's still in front of me, i just have to raise my arms to type (im talking about in the middle of gaming) when im doing something that needs my keyboard (anything else other than gaming), i just switch them up and down. So with that said, space-wise its huge improved. as for the buttons and mapping-wise: i remapped 11 from caps to shift, and 16 from shift to comtrol. I also find the space (20) is really uncomfortable to reach, so i remapped the space to the round button above the D-pad, which i feel amazing to use, even better than space bar. the button 20 remapped to Esc which usually needed to pause game or setting etc. all and all, loving it but i think the V2 is good enough, as the improvement from Pro isnt really necessarily.

I just bought one from Amazon to use for shortcuts with my Wacom tablet.

ok

Clear as Mud.

This really helped me when playing RPG games, I don't get the strain on my left hand I am experiencing esp. when playing intensely concentrated and when commands are not that configurable in the game. Been using it for over a month now. Downside I think is when the cushion dries up you need to find a replacement for it.

I do need, I'm crap with wasd keys, and have years of console muscle memory using thumbsticks for movement.

try using voicemeeter to set the mic's output volume

Nobody has answered if I can use the Joystick for FPS movement instead of the keys.....

Can you set the dpad/joystick as movement?

I am not usually negative about this kind of thing, but omg I cannot believe the number of people who mindlessly get this thing and continue using WASD movement on the keypad. Why would you buy this device for gaming with the expectation that you are going to use it just like you would a keyboard. Holy crap so many people COMPLETELY overlook the dang directional pad. Try this for the love of all that is holy....Crouch-Jump through a window sideways (strafing) while swapping weapons. Just do it. Do that with a keyboard and then with the nostromo/tarturus using D-Pad for movement. I just can't believe the number of people that do not use this thing as is OBVIOUSLY intended and then walk away saying non-sense like, "Oh, it's just a more expensive keyboard". ugh! When playing on a keyboard, certain simple things are more complicated based on default button mappings. I've done both. I've used variations on this design since the Belkin Nostromo. This device, when used properly does many things... * it frees up cognitive load trying to arrange your fingers for certain tasks because the button layout is simpler * The simplicity of having straight forward buttons at your fingers tips and being able to hit four or so buttons at once that do things OTHER THAN movement is a godsend. Simply layout of the keypad... * Set 16 to be crouch * Set 11 to be jump * Set 6 to be Tab * Set 1 to escape * 2-5 to F1-F4 * 7-10 to 1-4 * 12-15 to 5-8 * 17-19 to [0, -, =] * Set the dpad to WASD This general layout means you can swap weapons or activate horkeys or swap weapons in a moments notice. You can crouch and jump on same finger. Your pinky should be able to hit 16 & 11 at same time to perform a crouching jump, too. You can do all of this while running around like a boss with the thumb. Tab & Escape & the function keys are still close by, too. You're still aiming with the mouse. I generally used a logitech G700 series mouse. They stopped making that, so I swapped to ROCCAT LEADR. On those mice, there are more buttons near the left-click. I generally map those buttons to things that "feel like" they should be main activities (F for interact, 1st person 3rd person swap etc). The thumb buttons on the mouse I use for things like sprint/walk/reload/etc.

Great video, Sean! Very informative for little things. I feel like there is so much little gear we have, any tips for keeping it on our person is helpful. I hadn't though of putting a lanyard on my ruler. LOVE that idea. Thank you!

It's not XLR so No

REALLY GREAT INFO!!! THANKS!!!

5 years later...however important you correct some missinformation HD is NOT 1920x1080, that's FHD (Full High Definition). HD is actually 1,280 x 720. It's important to understand that, because you will see monitors and tv that say HD, which, they are offering you HD but people would think it's FHD. Also FYI QHD, called Quad High Definition meaning it's 4x times the HD size. Hence the name and that's why HD is NOT 1920x1080

Excellent

False. This has improved my gaming by far the most I struggled with regular keyboard so much and this shape helps me use my pinky more and the analog is OP. I don’t use the multi function for the keys but certain games it’d be amazing to use

can play in fhone?

I have been using the Razer Orbweaver since 2019, and I cannot game on my PC without it now! lol I use the D-pad for movement, and bind all the other keys in mostly the same layout for all my games, which helps a ton with remembering what does what, and learning new games quicker. I also never use the common "space bad" on the device for space, I always end up using it for my Map button. It's not placed to be used with the D-pad for movement, otherwise you can't move while jumping at the same time, so instead I use the lower scroll wheel click as a space bar button.

theres not a lot of options with a joy stick but I ordered this one recently. Seems best for the price. I use a controller a lot but love using a mouse for fps but wasd sucks for movement haha.

Was the mic tested with a preamp or a discrete/external sound card? Or was it plugged in directly into a PC? Thanks!

With windows devices - you don't need to change the display resolution from 1920 x 1080, just go to the setting above "Scale" and change the scale of the screen. I use mine on 125% - the default is 150%. Hope that helps

Are you saying I don’t need a one handed keypad or I don’t need this one in particular?

I also bought the same homespot you have there. It says it has built in mic but the mic and it came without the small black mic that you can attach to the jack hole like yours. Well the "built in" mic doenst work at all. Now the voice chat still not working. Any ideas how to solve the problemos?

This has made my workflow so much faster as a 3D Artist

this looks to be for a left hand mouse user.. which is odd since i'm right handed.

Thanks for the great tips! Do you ever use colored pens to do your tram lines?

I use game boards for games like World of Warcraft, but for fps I tend to stick to the keyboard. To rectify desk space problems, I strongly recommend 60-70% keyboards.

not needing the keyboard except to type probably is the main advantage. I constantly hit the side of my keyboard when playing fps with my mouse. I'm using a razer strider extended mousepad and my keyboard is positioned mostly in the middle. Not sure i'd get one for that alone though.
