I was thinking of buying a G13 keyboard but it seems that these days the only gaming I do is EVE and occasionally BF2142/CoD/FoTM-FPS (with some mates) and I'm not sure that I see much value to this for just EVE - I was wondering if anyone had used one of these and what they thought of them?

I've never used something like that, but I bet if you had one, you would find a use for it |

Will come in handy for shortcutting all the commands in game, drone controls, grouping weapons that can't be grouped ingame to hotkeys etc.
I use my G15 for similar, and ordered a G13, can't wait for it to arrive :D

I have an n52 and I can't play any 1st/3rd person game without it, but I've never found a use for it in Eve.

I can't tell about the G13, but I had a G11 and now use a G15 (refresh) Keyboard which got a Display and the "G-Keys" too. The Display is useful in my opinion, but not really much for EVE. I can watch (and reply to) incoming messages of Miranda IM (instant messenger for Icq,Msn,Irc,...) while playing EVE in fullscreen without tabbing out/window mode, and via EVEMon I can see how long the training of the current skill will need to finish, but that's it about EVE, no status infos like remaining missiles, shield/armor/hull HP etc. (which is better to see ingame anyways)
The buttons can record macros like pressing alt+F(1-9) which can maybe be useful, but I don't use that for EVE, i'm controlling with the mouse only most of the time, though it could be helpful to activate some F-slots at once with one button press or other things like everything which needs the press of 2 or more keys at the same time. |

I have the G15. I love it in general, but in Eve the only real use I have for it is that I can see who's talking on TS on the lcd readout on the keyboard. I've also played around with programming, for example, 1 key to press F1-8 for me, but I don't really use that stuff - I'm used to just doing it on the UI. There are probably a ton of other things you can do with it. I'd love to get for example, shield/armor/hull on the lcd readout, but again it's not really necessary for Eve. All in all though, I do love and recommend the keyboard.

I don't have the room for a g15 on this tiny keyboard tray. But I use a nostromo and I got the keys macro'd for a lot of 1 key shortcuts.

Originally by: Maxpie I have the G15. I love it in general, but in Eve the only real use I have for it is that I can see who's talking on TS on the lcd readout on the keyboard.

All in all though, I do love and recommend the keyboard.
i probably should have mentioned that i already have the G15, which I really love - I have the G-keys mapped to a variety of small stuff (fire 1-3, fire 4-6, reload, etc) my question should have probably have been more along the lines of "would this bring anything to EVE that a G15 doesn't" but from the replies and what i'm reading online, it seems it wouldn't :)
thanks for the replies |
