Wow. And here I thought http://drh2.img.digitalriver.com/DRHM/Storefront/Company/razerusa/images/product/gallery/razer-naga-gallery2.jpg was excessive.

Just use a gamepad or an Xbox360 controller and that'll solve your problem.

Hopefully, doing so won't turn off the keyboard/mouse input like it does for the Fallouts. I'd like to use the controller, keyboard, and mouse simultaneously.

Edit: Without XPadder (360 Wireless)

My mouse has 3 buttons. You shouldn't be thinking everyone has super-awesome gaming-mouses just because you do.

I will probably just use the keyboard a bunch like I normally do, so don't feel left out.

I plan on using the thumb button on my Nostromo and right-click for left hand, and left-click the right hand. The allows me to make the visual queue of MY left hand does what is in my character's left hand, and MY right hand does my character's right hand. The right-click for left hand is mostly for dual wielding and shields. I can't imagine to much of an issue when dual wielding switch buttons/hands, as it just melee.

Wow, I bet that'd take me a little getting used to. And the models I see on Amazon, etc. seem really reasonably priced.

I've enver seen a wireless numpad, but now I want one. Not just for this game. Does it have more than just the typical setup?

Num   /     *     -7     8     9     +4     5     6     +1     2     3     Enter0-----0     Del   Enter

Looks pretty amazing. Mine is just a regular Microsoft Bluetooth NumPad.

Honestly given the description of how this game is going to work with 2 weapon/spell etc. attacks I think I am going to use a controller. Just seems like there will be too many buttons I will have to deal with, and I don't like spamming one mouse button much less both of them.

That is pretty excessive lol

One of the devs said that plugging in a controller doesn't disable the keyboard anymore so no worries

My setup will probably be similar to the OP but my right mouse button will probably be mapped to the left hand attack, right hand attack on the left mouse button, and block moved to a secondary mouse button since I can't block with my first character anyway. And I would also move change view to the middle mouse button since there won't be a combine spell/cast combined spell button I think as those are done by attacking with both hands at the same time unless they change it for some reason on PC but I can't see that happening.

Yes, the Naga does take some getting used to. The Nostromo, however, is very easy to adapt to. It's like a truncated keyboard that was designed to be ergonomic for gaming. It's D-Pad was great for Oblivion, I understand Skyrim will use 'favorites' instead, but I can navigate with the D-Pad, so it should be good. I also have wireless 360 controller for when I want to play on the couch on the big screen.

Beautiful!

Thanks for the info. That'll make it feasbile to play with the controller over my keyboard and use pinkies for mod hotkeys and/or switch to keyboard+mouse for certain contexts w/o having to pull the battery housing out of the controller. Huzzah!
