You mentioned that you had it plugeed in an Ubuntu laptop, does it work well with it?

[WolfManz611]

@OspaykO No idea if the G13 works under Ubuntu since I was only using the laptop with Ubuntu so I could show the lighting of the G13 off while making the video. As far as I know the G13 doesn't have any Linux support from Logitech so based on that I would have to say that getting the G13 to work under Linux would be problematic and would require someone to hack together a driver for it and some software so the end user could use and configure the G13.

good review i got smaller hands would you still recommend this

[WolfManz611]

@33hbj Ya it should still be good for people with smaller hands. The best thing you can do though is find one in a store and see how it feels before you spend the money on it. If its too big then you may want to look at the game boards that belkin makes like the N50 or N52 these are smaller devices and what I used before I got the G13.

can the joystick replace the WASD function in every game? bcuz I suck using the buttons lol

[WolfManz611]

@lBugslBunny Yes the joystick can either be set to be an analog joystick or you can have it set to replicate keyboard key presses when you move it left or right or up and down.

I have it set to work like you describe in First Person Shooters that way my thumb alone handles all the movement for the characters in the games via the joystick.

is the analog stick good for FPS's so you don't even have to use a mouse ?

[OspaykO]

@WolfManz611 OK, thank you.

Great review!

After watching sevaral others, this is the only one that explained that I could use the thumb stick to move my character. I never learned to use a keyboard, for the past several years I have been using the MS Strategic commander. Windows 7 does not support it so it's time to move on. Thanks again for the info

@WolfManz611 thank you so much buddy, the joystick is actually the only reason why i'm buying it lol. I'm using it for games like dragon age 2, world of warcraft and the upcoming MMO Guild wars 2, but they won't let me use my xbox controller, so i'm forced to get used to WASD which slow me down so bad because I have to look at the keyboard to see if i'm pressing the right key. And believe me, that destroys all the fun :(. I guess this will be the answer to my problem. Thank you soooo much =)
