    That said, it'd just be better if it had a little more space between the CPU socket and the first PCIE slot, an extra cm or 2 would be good.
    hmm thought distances between cpu socket and first PCIe slot were the same for every mobo pretty much?
    i managed to fit my 670 with backplate below my dh14. (there is perhaps 2-3mm between the gpu and cpu cooler )

    also how come your banner is still up?

    Since his isn't making Chrome flip out, I imagine the issue was fixed and you could fix your banner now, too.

    They also took away the d-pad/joy-stick combo and made it just a joy-stick. On the Nostromo you can remove the joy-stick and just use the d-pad as extra single press buttons. So it works for keybinds like any other key on the device does. Trying to use it as a joy-stick is almost impossible to be that precise with your thumb. You can never use it to replace your mouse.

    The G13 suffers from exactly those same problems. The Orbweaver is beyond pointless.

    Edit:
    They get credit for just one thing, they removed the useless wheel and just gave you a normal button.

    I use the joystick on my G13 to move my toon in WoW and I've been doing so for 4 years of HC rading and PvP, haven't had a single issue with precision.

    That is because WoW does not requiring aiming of any kind. You either click or tab target and that's it. Go play an FPS, especially trying to snipe in a FPS, with that jokestick. Even attempting to use that jokestick will only further complicate things when trying to reach your top row of buttons because of how you have to stretch your hand to reach them.

    Compared with having the regular d-pad on my Nostromo the Orbweaver would only give me 2 total extra keybinds, but at the same time 5 of those total keys are in a position that makes them impractical to use.

    I usually don't respond to things like this, but really man?
    Define "stretching"



    Besides, who in their right mind would use the joystick to snipe with, that's just asking for trouble. It's made to run with. Bind WASD to the right directions of the joystick and you're fine.

    capacity and since I was getting a new one I figured I might as well get one of the best out there. The M4 is/was perfect I just needed more space, haven't decided what I'll do with it yet. We'll see when I get back home to EU.

    Well, since I can't figure out what is going on with my GPU's, I am going to RMA them both, sell the replacements and get a 7950.
