If this needs to show up in help, I apologize in advance.

I have purchased a joystick for flying, Saitek ST90 pro. And I must admit my keyboard is too small for my hands. I searched the internet for bigger keyboards (I find myself overshooting buttons or losing my composure on where my hands should be, no im not overweight) I searched and the zboard seemed to be a good replacement, but why buy a whole new keyboard when mine was just fine right? So upon further searching I found a pair of FPS pads that I would like to know if anyone else has had the pleasure of using, namely the Flexiglow Cyber Snipa FPS gamepad, http://www.virtual-hideout.net/reviews/ … ndex.shtml , and the Belkin Nostromo n52 speedpad http://www.buy.com/prod/Belkin_Nostromo … 56583.html . Well I considered getting one of the above to enhance my gaming experience, so I am asking if anyone may have these pads could give me a real hands on opinion of these. Yes I have read reviews but I want real and raw first person knowledge of experience with them. Thank you gentlemen/ladies.

Get a good mouse, a good mousepad, and play.

I tried the Nostromo and really hated it. Just couldn't get used to having to use shift keys to do all the things I needed buttons for.

Oh, and Logitech G7 ftw!

No no my mouse is fine, I use a basic logitech optical, hell it works great! I just looked into these game pads and thought it would be a good idea. Thanks for the feedback on the Nostromo, it seems all the keys are too close together. and it would all feel the same.

Check this website out m8.

You may find something you like or suits you. The good thing about this site is that it has links to the official product page of everything on display unlike others I've come across in the past. The Zboard looks like the sort of keyboard for you and may well be worth the investment. The Belkin looks good but the spacing between the keys looks like that of any ordinary keyboard - this I say based on wot the problem you're facing. However at the end of the day it's up to you m8.

Oh and good luck with your search. Sorry about not being able to say much more. I use a simple Dell keyboard that does the biz. No point talking about it cos it's just like any average keyboard out there, lol.

I've had a SpeedPad for a year and a half now and I swear by it. Once you set up the controls the way you like, you'll never want to use the keyboard again. Also, I've noticed that I score higher when I'm playing BF2 with my SpeedPad than with my Eclipse keyboard, most likely because I have all my weapons set to d-pad and just a thumb flick away (though the increase in score is also likely due to my familiarity with the setup of my speedpad since I've played with it since BF2 came out).
