I use a nostromo. The only downside is that you need a long thumb to use the stick (keep in mind that I have stubby thumbs though).

That looks really nice, but it's definitely too flashy and full-featured.

Is there a standard name for those type of pads, so I can actually manage an effective search?



I just searched gaming keypad.

Here is the one you linked

The G13 and Nostromo are the only gamepads like that.

Really? There's nothing else with keys and a stick?

Nothing else. You can get things that are like controllers, but a mouse is so superior to an analog stick that no one else could profit off of making these.

Well that's exactly it. I've been wanting to shed the analog stick for aiming for a long time. The same doesn't apply to movement though. A stick is so much more fluid than 4 separate buttons.

I guess I'll have to find a deal on the G13 or Nostromo, they're rather expensive.

Join Halo Haven! (Group Leader: A 3 Legged Goat)

(To discuss Halo 4.)

Alright, here are my specs:

i5 3470 3.2GHz
8GB Strontium DDR3 1600MHz RAM
1TB SATA III HDD
Intel HD Graphics 2500
GA-B75M-D2V (MOBO)

I want to make sure I get the best performance out of this thing.

I used the CD I got with the MOBO and the intel update utility and updated everything, but is there any other possible driver improvements I could do?

The utility did not specify anything for the integrated sound card in particular.

What exactly are you planning to do with this? With integrated graphics, you definitely won't be doing any serious gaming at all. Never use the DVD that comes with the motherboard, it's drivers are all outdated. Go here and make sure you have all the most up to date drivers. Every motherboard has integrated audio, I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about.

I Ctrl+F'd that page, and I didn't find one result of Battletoads. Wargamer, you know we're all about srs bzness here, and if you're gonna post a link without the best game of all time, I don't think you belong here.

Amazing. If you only buy one game; get Planescape.
Or just wait til the Planescape: Enhanced Edition if you don't want to play the 1999 version.
Alternatively, you could just mod it to fix the resolution, bugs etc.

The guide on the OP? I haven't even read it lol. Most all of the regulars around here have built at least one PC. I just used the Newegg guide video and common sense.

Unless you're completely clueless, building it is pretty self-explanatory. I watched the Newegg video once and I remembered most everything from that. But I never read the guide here that much, I prefer visual guides.
