Very Worthwhile
The Ideazon FANG uses Ideazon's trademarked and famous butterfly WASD buttons. I have owned a Zboard and was impressed with it's performance. In buying this I was expecting a sturdy build and in fact got one. The buttons don't feel flimsy and AREN'T flimsy at all. They are rather solid but not sticky at all. The small Jump button on the side works rather well and provides a nice click sound to let you know you hit it. It using the side button isn't what you want you can in fact set the 7 and 8 buttons to Jump and they are in nearly the same place as your jump on your keyboard. The drivers to this device are wonderful, they allow customizations to current keysets to allow minor changes or major overalls. You can make your own as well, say if you wanted one for Photoshop or a program like 3DS Max or if you just brought out your old copy of Battlefield 1942 and wanted to set up a keyset for it. The program is really easy to use. Select a key, choose a key color so you can the set easier label the key and input your command with delays if you want them. The only problem I have with this device is in getting used to it it can feel a little clunky the first few matches and it will fatigue your hand as you learn it's workings. As you grow onto the device your hand may start feeling much better as you frag everyone in your path. Tested on an HP Pavilion a6330f with Vista while playing Call of Duty 4 in both a 53-man free-for-all at Shipment and a 25-man TDM at Overgrowth. Also tested on World of Warcraft, unless you have a mic I do not suggest this product for WoW. If you have a mic I very much recommend this device.

works as advertised
Easy to program. Lots of preprogrammed configurations available. Only complaint is the label is trying to peal off. (Big deal.)

Great Game Pad!
I really like all the Ideazon products for gaming. On my regular pc I have their USB keyboard with changeable keysets, but I bought this for my gaming laptop as it fits so easily in my bag. Very durable product with a great key layout especially for first person shooters.

buyer beware
The device becomes painful to use after protracted use. The layout of the keys embodies no ergonomics. The software is difficult to configure and pre-programmed keys can not be reassigned. Attempting to create macros was a dismal failure in part because of the absence of any literature in the manual, on line (both product website and user forums), or available through the companies scant 'support' facilities. When support was requested via email (the only means of making contact) the response did not address the questions submitted and pointed me to the user forums. Seems they like selling the device much more than supporting the device.

The keys on the pad are pretty much flat which affords no traction during use and fingers regularly slip off of them during game play. The device rests on hard plastic feet which allows it to slide around presenting a problem when game action is high. Found myself having to reposition it several times per-session.

Overall: Regret making the purchase.
