Saitek Pro Gamer Command Pad
by DJ Neawedde | 18th August 2006
Control unit for keyboard-oriented games
The Saitek Pro Gamer Command Pad combines the controls essential to First Person Shooter and Strategy games in one unit making them fast and easy to reach in the heat of battle.
“as the Command Pad truly shines while playing a strategy game such as Rome: Total War. The shift function here allows you to assign 48 keys, which is more than enough for any, would be general. I found selecting my troops was quicker and easier just because everything is in easy reach and the analogue stick allowed me to play without the mouse entirely. Although in some situations, you would want a more precise movement than the analogue allows.” - Xtreme Computing

[…] I prefer the click to move, and if you have played it in pvp before you can use it to position relatively well. The reason I like click to move is because I like having all the keys on my n52 and my Saitek Command Pad Pro set will skills, potions, and anything else I might need in PvP. I hate having to work my skills around the wasd right in the middle when games force you to use this method. However with the amount of movement during PvP from the videos I’ve seen so far it might possibly be better to use wasd (since you can’t click air…). I’ll have to wait and see…or just set 2 different sets of key bindings that, on the Saitek, which I can switch with the flip of a button. Either way i’m glad they give us the choice, and now it becomes just a matter of preference instead of conformity. __________________ …pull the trigger and the nightmare stops..
