Gamepad for EQ2

[re1master]

I'm looking for a gamepad for use with eq2, as I don't want to wear out my laptop's WASD/spacebar like I did with my last 3 keyboards on my desktop, I was wondering what you all have tried and had the most fun without it effecting your gameplay negatively, here are some I've found:<a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823161023" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16823161023</a><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826169003" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16826169003</a><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823175105" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16823175105</a><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826169019" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16826169019</a>Any EQ2 specific opinions would be much appreciated,Thank you,Alexander <Guk>

<p>I personally don't feel like you can play this game without a full keyboard easily accessable.  I keep both of my hands busy during combat and even while exploring the world.</p><p>I use the logitech G15 gaming keyboard because I really like the extra buttons on the left side of the keyboard.  I have several keybindings and use those extra keys on a regular basis.  It's not a cheap route, but if you just want something fairly cheap to preserve your laptop buttons I'd suggest looking at a keyboard more than a gamepad.  It's just my opinion though.</p>
