Logitech Wireless Number Pad: Could this be used to replace the "W A S D" keys on a game, like a first person shooter??

yes, but you will go through batteries like you won't believe. Also, much like the n52 and the g13...if you are used to playing on a keyboard then you will still have some retraining of the finger muscle memory to do. Look on your keyboard WASD keys and notice how the W sits around the edge of the A key. Most gaming pads botch this buy making directly over the S key which goes against your muscle memory and makes thing feel strange. I know it seems like a small thing, but if you have been using a keyboard to play for hours a day for years on end then it's actually a pretty big deal. On my n52 it took me about 3 weeks of solid play to stop mashing both the Q and W at the same time because of this. I made a bracket to hold this number pad horizontally at the top of the n52 to compensate for the lack of number keys in games like Dishonored.

I would think so. I use mine for mapping keystrokes as a sizzle button and works great. As long as you can input the characters its should work fine. :D

not ACTUALLY programmable if i'm not mistaken. the wired version (the one i have) has 5 buttons if you include l/r/m as buttons. the only two "extra" are on the left side for your thumb. most games bind actions to them without a problem however.

I'm sure it would. So for the keypad functionality, I think you'd like it. But note that the finger "mouse" pad is not very good. If "mousing" is more your thing than typing, then I'd probably try a different one. I ended up switching to just using a regular wireless mouse (only).

It can be played quite easily with a keyboard and mouse. I don't own a gamepad, so I don't know if using that makes it any better or worse, but a keyboard and mouse works just fine:)

No it is just a keyboard....there is no numeric pad either. A wireless mouse would work just fine in conjunction with the keyboard. That is how I set my thrive up as a laptop.

Spend a few more bucks and get a logitech gamepad. You'll get much better drivers and customer support. This one is kind of a pain in the butt.

@Hank: The software included is junk. It only works with a dozen or so EA games.Any game that has joystick or gamepad support will work with this Logitech joystick. ;-)

Jenny, don't waste you money, especially with a used one. They were not supported by Windows 7.I bought 3 off Amazon, none lasted more than a month. Go with the Logitech version of the Belkin. They have several models,but the first on they made after they bought out Belkin is the best key pad I've found.

Yes. Go to http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411&osid=14&bit=64 for the controller, click downloads in blue, and underneath the controller image you will be able to choose windows 8 (32 or 64 bit) for the drivers. I'm sure they are on the cd provided too. If not, you can just get them off the site.

I have not used it since I don't have Logitech keyboard, but yes, that was one of the selling points when I purchased it. I think all their wireless mice come with the universal receiver and you download the setpoint software to manage it.

That's what I used it for as well as my wired Logitech trackball mouse. Mysystem wss xp. Worked well.

http://rejoystick.sourceforge.net/ try this? i'm also thinking about purchasing this gamepad for use with my chromebook with crouton, so if it works for you let us know!

Unfortunately I didn't get the case with it so I can't answer that question, however I did use a Bluetooth Gamepad and it worked well so I wouldn't see why any if not all Bluetooth keyboards should work with this device, it will come down to the design of the Bluetooth keyboard that you will have to choose.

I do not know. As I have a same gamepad long ago (which I bought with $4), the driver has already been installed to my PC. So I can use this one directly without installing the driver.

The touchpad and buttons work just as a mouse. If that is all you are needing for the game is mouse usage it should be no problem. The only thing I haven't tried was click and drag.

Mostly yes, that's more game-specific, you'll probly want an external remapping app such as joy2key or Xpadder for some games.
