Having looked at various options, I bought myself a new toy this week - a Belkin N52te off-hand keypad/controller.

The idea is simple: to make life less complicated when gaming, be in MMO's like World of Warcraft or the fps games I dabble in (COD4/5 and Crysis). Hopefully that'll improve responsiveness (and thus both survivability in PvP and dps in PvE). In many regards its an extension of what I do anyway - Andro's main spells (and a goodly number of the secondaries) are on key or mouse binds (1-5 for the main nukes, mouse buttons 4 and 5 for my "oh bugger" abilities) and this just extends the idea (and adds a movement control element to it).
The proof will be in the pudding though - it's all still in its packaging, having just collected the box from the post office - but I'm looking forward to trying it tonight.
I bought one of these for Softi and she loves it when she uses it.
