Fang Gaming Pad Views
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.

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.
Our friends at Ideazon sent over their Fang Gamepad for LR to take for a test drive during our many sessions of gaming. They know that the Legit Staff are serious gamers and need legit gaming hardware. See if this dedicated game pad ? originally designed for military training combat ? makes the grade as we put it through its paces!
Based in Ontario Canada, Ideazon Inc has been bringing us some very cool peripheral technology for many years after its creator, Oren Kramer, an avid gamer wanted to better master tricky commands in his favorite game StarCraft. Oren was an intense Quake player as well and found himself designing and building modded keyboards and game pads exclusively for the gaming community. He and his company, Ideazon, built the first gaming keyboard ? the Zboard ? and since then the company has been trying to build the most bullet-proof, hard-core gaming devices. Today we look at one of their newest creations, the $35 Fang Gamepad!
