Winnie the Pooh is more annoying. Here is why .

Snarf is an annoying character with a phobia of, well, everything. He is surrounded by comparatively competent people who get into all kinds of trouble. Snarf then occasionaly acts against his fears and sneaks into wherever to get the message/item to whomever saves the day.

Whinnie the Pooh is an annoying but vaguely sane character surrounded by beings far LESS competent than he is. It’s not hard to be the group hero when your best friends are psychotic (Tigger), depressed (Eore) or…a pig. Also, Whinnies biggest enemies are hedge mazes, lost children and pots of honey.

Snarff at least has been in the same room as Mumra. In fact, I should have just started with that. Snarff has met Mumra. Fuck Whinnie the Pooh.

I’ve played around with a couple ideas and none really feel any more natural than using a regular keyboard. Most obvious one was assigning each row of keys to a row of abilities in my hotbars and using the thumbstick for movement, which seems maybe alright over the long term, but it requires me to use the mouse on hotbars 3 and 4 anyway, so not a great improvement.

Second tried WSAD movement keys and all the keys right of those assigned to 1-8 on the hotbar. Then I mapped a couple on the left to Ctrl and Alt for easy shifting. This seems okay, but not any more comfortable than just using Ctrl and Alt on the keyboard.

Could you post some screenshots of your profile to get some ideas, or maybe even upload your profile files so I can try them out directly? Unless I really get an idea of why this is good in the next couple days, I’m going to take it back and pick up that Razer mouse with the 12 buttons on the side.

Love you much,

The comment about the top row missing is beyond me. This gamepad far exceeds the number of keys Saitek has, the top row has 7 keys instead of Saitek’s 4.

The Logitech pad was the easiest pad to get used to the feel for. It wasn’t second nature at first, but that’s mostly due to the awkward positioning Saitek’s pad had me used to. Saitek’s is easily the hardest gamepad I ever had to adapt (more like twist and contort) my hand to get used to. It doesn’t work to simply “try them in the store”. You have to make sure you’re not trying to play a Saitek pad in another brand’s molding. Be sure to take a minute to reset your hand to a natural open palm placement and gently lower it on top of the Logitech gamepad without trying to form your fingers into any set position. This can clear any muscle memory you’ve had from using other gamepads, and will give you a more honest reading of “comfort” (being used to something isn’t comfort).

I have been using this gamepad extensively for 5 months and my wrist is never in any aches or pains and it only took a few days for it to become second nature. I’ve used the other gamepads for a few years each and I can honestly tell you that the Logitech one is far superior in every single way shape and form than the other two competitors.

I like that with the Saitek I can easily adjust back to a keyboard if I have to since the Saitek has the top row of keys that all the other pads are missing. I have tried all the gamepads in the stores and none beats the simple and comfortable layout of the Saitek.

It’s a shame in their newest Saitek version they took out the blue LED and replaced the metal parts with cheap plastic.
