I was looking at this one, and it is not only visually stunning, but pretty practical, too. I play mainly FPS (Battlefield series, COD, Valve games) and I think this would be a good buy.
What do you think Gaia?

I've read reviews that it's not as good/useful as you'd expect by looking at it. I'd just get a G15 and a Razer mouse, I don't think there's much wrong.

That's not a mouse.... it's a "gamepad" or whatever clever marketing moniker you'd like to call it.

[Featherlight910]

Would it be useful in a FPS?

[ShanaSS]

I don't know if it worth $70 but it does look cool! cool

[Featherlight910]

I found it for $60 somewhere else. But seriously, how are gaming pads different from mice?

When gaming do you use a claw grip? or a flat handed grip on you mouse?

[animer_21]

Well it looks like it's only gonna be used for gaming. It's pretty much your WASD keys on the side with some extra buttons for customizing. It's looks like the whole design was to be better for your hand. To prevent injury.

I'd stick with what general awesome said, get a reg. old gaming keyboard and a good mouse.

You should be fine.

Unless your planning to be the next pro fps shooter and reg keyobards hurt your hand, then yeah. Get that.

Go with a Razer Deathadder, they are around 40-50 on amazon.com and look sweet, comes in different colors of illumination, blue is most common

It really doesn't look all that practical since you'll have to be doing double the work on one hand when you could have been using both instead to better coordinate your movements. Plus the right mouse button would have to be pressed with your pinkey (usually the slowest/weakest of all your fingers). I would personally recommend the Razer Lachesis but as others have stated, the Razer Deathadder is also a good gaming mouse.

EDIT: Additionally I play CS:S quite a lot and I do just fine with my generic Logitech mouse 3nodding

That isn't a mouse. It's a keypad for your left hand that just has a bunch of keyboard buttons on it (WASD + a few others).

I've tried similar devices before and they're really not anything special. A good Dell or Microsoft keyboard (even a cheap one) will often do just as well if not better.

For a lot of games you'll end up wanting more keys than are available on those pads so you'll end up still needing a keyboard anyways. The only advantage is placing the D-pad at your thumb, but very few games would actually make use of that anyways so again... a waste.

Thanks for all your advice! I guess I'm better off with a mouse and keyboard.
