When it comes to PC gaming, it's hard to beat the mouse-and-keyboard combination.

When it comes to PC gaming, it's hard to beat the mouse-and-keyboard combination. The keyboard handles specific commands and movements, while the mouse performs more exacting jobs, such as aiming weapons. The system has been the standard for well over a decade, and its effectiveness really hasn't been beaten yet. Ideazon's Zboard Fang Gamepad isn't the first add-on to attempt an overhaul of the typical PC-gaming input combo, and it's certainly not the worst, either. For a reasonable $30, the Fang attempts to give the typical keyboard layout some more flexibility and a more logical design. On those levels it succeeds, but the Fang could still benefit from a more polished design.
The Fang Gamepad is a bit different from what we generally think of when we say gamepad. Rather than a two-handed dual-analog device you hold in your hand like a video game controller, the Fang is a customized control pad with keys on it that sits on your desk next to your keyboard. The idea is it will give you easier, one-handed access to special commands and actions when you're playing a game.
Cons: Pinky keys are hard to reach. I wish the keys were backlit c(or it had a usb port for a flex lightt). Having it is making me look at more expensive game pads r(sort of a cone), but non have made me want to give it up yet. The only real con is the software. I works fine, but limits your playing to the fang. If you try to play your games with a full sized keyboard your key mappings will be thrown off by the software
