I know nothing about gaming-Except that my 22yr-old son plays.I was looking for gaming mouse then saw keypads-but is this better? Any recommendations?

A mouse and keyboard are 2 different things with different functions. If he is looking for a mouse, then you probably need to get him a mouse. The keypads aren't for navigation as the mouse is used for. But yes, this is good, though I highly recommend the Razer Deathstalker Chroma if you are looking for a cheaper alternative because it has LED customization and a lower cost.

It is a great looking keyboard, for sure, and might even have worked...that is, if I could have ever have gotten it to work with Windows 8.1 I was forced to return it because there were problems with the Windows 8.1 drivers...they may be fixed now, but I doubt it based on everything I could discover on the web about the keyboard. It was a few months ago, so you might give it a try but just wanted to let you know the problems I had with it.

This is an amazing keyboard! It's fast - much more faster than an regular keyboard, beautiful, pleasant to type and the extra screen is very functional. I reccomend!

I had this keyboard for about a year. I can honestly say I loved it. The lights/colors were vibrant, the customization was amazing, just a great keyboard all around. Very durable. Touch screen is very responsive. I sold it for a different keyboard and it was one of my biggest regrets. I think he'd love this.

Hey Cheyenne A. , I just got this mouse about a month and a half ago, and I guarantee you, your gonna love it. Its great with League, you can program macros and Combos to the side buttons, that can really improve your game play, and if you play any or a lot of adc. You will need this mouse XD, the right clicking makes it so easy to target and keep a constant flow in clutch fights. I have hit so many skill shots and Orb walked much better with this mouse. Also i can now spam laugh and dance with the side buttons lol. Feel free to ask me any other question, if u got any or i didn't really answer what you where looking for.

I bought that same mouse and I really like it. I'm not a mouse expert, but I game with it and haven't been disappointed with it at all. I've had mine for about 7 months or so.

The best setup is with a keyboard and mouse. Mice give much greater accuracy when compared to controllers. Although you can play with a controller you might be at a disadvantage though.

It can be played quite easily with a keyboard and mouse. I don't own a gamepad, so I don't know if using that makes it any better or worse, but a keyboard and mouse works just fine:)

It would probably work well for your son as long as he doesn't use the scroll button and right-click functionality on a normal mouse. This mouse is slightly smaller than a regular mouse, but I do not have trouble using it. We bought it for my 2 year old who loves computer games but was constantly causing problems by right clicking. It has worked great for her.

If you need free range of motion to play, then I recommend any large mouse pad. A soft surface that is durable and large isn't easy to find.

It works great with a gaming mouse. This is a must buy for any games that require a lot of hot keys or spells that need to be pressed. He'll enjoy this for guildwars.

oh thanks guys for the posts, I have been able to play for a while using the G13 and a track ball mouse. Have gotten good enough that no one knows I play one handed. But thank u very much for the help, I had forgotten about this post or would have put something up

this keypad would be perfect not only for that game, but for many others. essentially what it does, is put important keys right into one spot, in this case, wherever he would desire them right onto the keypad, as they are programmable. you don't even need to buy any other Logitech products; the keypad will work all by itself.

Games felt weird at first while I was getting used to the switch from traditional keyboards to ergonomic. It just takes about a week to get used to, but I like it more than a traditional keyboard now. Much less hand cramping/shaking out with this style, especially if you're on the computer a lot (for any reason).

@barbara Kelly it uses AAA's but I do not recommend because the click life is very short my first one lasted 2 months and less on other ones if you use it for gaming. the click buttons just wear out. Look up Perixx here on amazon they make a perixxmice I believe is what it's called dpi adjustable mouse that lasted me 8 months so far an it clicks great I use it for heavy gaming with ALOT of clicks it's around the same price and comes in white and maybe black. God luck.

its probably the best mouse on the market for macroing, i use it for control groups on starcraft and hotkeys in WoW and DotA2. just bind them to the keys on the mouse and go have fun

If you're especially tech savy; you can use it with emulators & other games, but you really need to know what you're doing. You can map the buttons & triggers nanually. Personally, I'm very content with the available games, & the list will only grow. Titles like NOVA, Dead Trigger 2 & Aliens vs Predator are amazing with the moga pro...console experience wherever you go. But get the moga pro if your going to get an android controller - it's waaay better (&more comfortable) than the original moga...

This mouse is great for gaming. The 2 thumb buttons can easily be mapped to game functions. (I haven't tried it with LoL, but I used to be a big LoL player.) The mouse looks pretty cool too :)

No... But you really won't need a gaming keyboard if you can use the keypad primarily. Razer made it to help you keep your hand on the keypad during game play and not worry about hitting the wrong buttons.

The mouse is fine as for the keyboard would not recommend its a pos. Mine quit working after about 6 months and the lettering on the keys came off as well. For a avid gamer would save money. But overall the mouse has held up great!
