Actually yes. I have MS and I can not play MMOs that do not allow mouse movements,..., only KEYBOARD MOVEMENT will keep me from playing. I have used mine on WoW, Rift, GW2, and NOW really loving this key pad on ESO. You can bind teh keys easily, you can use the toggle to make teh directional move that allow you to kite, backwards, you name it. Plenty of keys for ESO/GW2, but WoW LOVES it's multitude of attaches etc. Any direction, even "at angle you just go the main direction with your mouse and then add the toggle trick and you will become very good at kiting very quickly. It is really like playing the piano- I NEVER use my full size key board for movement OR attacks, all on my mouse and this well worth it Key Pad.- OAD
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The joystick really isn't a joystick.. think more like a directional pad where you push either left up down. It just has a fancy thum stick on it instead of the normal directional faceplate .
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nothing beats a mouse and keyboard
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you’re talking about the thumb joystick, it is very programmable. I don’t typically use it for that but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Probably. It has the capability. However, my left thumb dexterity isn't that good. Instead I use it for options in the games. Example: In MWO, I use it's left as toggle zoom, top for toggle max zoom, down is toggle thermal vision and right is toggle night vision. It is far easier for me to do this and leave the mouse and movement keys for movement/direction.
