How does this model compare with the LapGear Deluxe? I'm specifically interested in using this for gaming (with a keyboard and mouse)

I have not seen the Deluxe model, but in mine I can comfortably fit my Dell 15.6 inches screen laptop and a medium size laptop mouse. It's really comfy and verily transmit the heat from the laptop. I hope this helps.

I don't think it would fit a keyboard and a mouse...we have a 17 inch laptop and it fits that w a tiny amount of room left over

I am not aware of the "Delux" unit but size wise the LapGear Jumbo specs fit my need for width and depth for doing calligraphy, with a storage well at the corners for finished items in addition to zippered storage areas under the unit. The cushioning under the unit is also a plus. If size is what is needed then you might want to compare the two on specs.

I have not used the LapGear Deluxe but it sounds like that would be the better option. I used the MyDesk with my 17in laptop and mouse to play League of Legends and was comfortable for about an hour. I would recommend seeing what other reviewers say about how the Deluxe lapdesk rests on your legs as that was my main concern with LapGear's MyDesk. I hope that helps.

It would be a tight fit, yes, with about three inches to spare. You wouldn't need a mouse pad, though, as the surface of the LapGear is very compatible with mouse use. I guess it depends on how much you would be using the mouse. I honestly think it would be workable, but that may be a subjective feeling.

for me its better because the pc flat enough so you can rest your wrist on the table and not worry about the touch pad. it also has a great keyboard layout and back light.

I haven't tried this for gaming but I use it for programming with an excellent response and performance! This one does not have backlight! I do have another model from Logitech that is specifically what you are looking for and I really recommend it. It's the K800.

With me, I have the Razer Tartarus and from what I gather, it has the same d-pad. I got perfectly used to it enough to make the buttons actual numbers and use them in MMO and FPS situations to switch weapons. Don't get me wrong, it was hard to get used to but in time it will feel almost natural. the hardest part was knowing what i had bound to which directions.

This lap desk seemed to small for me, I have the same setup and 3 lap desks, I would recommend the Sofia + Sam Ergonomic Lap Desk for your set up, its not much bigger but just enough. The advantage to the lap gear lap desk here is that the pillow is much thinner and the desk is lighter and could be packed for travel a little easier, and not to mention the elastic bands are fairly handy.

"This is great for gaming. "- my nephew. I had Logitech gaming keyboards myself and this one seems bigger and better built.

I have not owned or used the previous version. However, I truly love this mouse. I bought it along with my gaming laptop last year, and it has brought me many victories haha. I love the extension on the left as a thumb rest, and the dpi settings have something for everyone. The blue led lights are subtle, yet look awesome. I prefer wired mice (as to eliminate the battery problem), and the cord they give you is substantial and sturdy.I highly recommend this mouse. ^_^

Both are Alienware, but they keyboard is very good. I use a razor gaming mouse so can't comment on the mouse.

I've tried the razer its been repackaged several times since I tried it. The sailtek is the better controller however be gentle with its analog stick if that part were more robust I could recommend it more. The software was sufficient enough for me to do just about anything I wanted in any game however it has a learning curve.

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

I'm not a sophisticated gaming user, but I have a fingertip grip and it works OK for me. Note that the side buttons (on the left side of the mouse) are probably better placed for a palm grip. As with any mouse, you're best off trying it in a store before buying if at all possible.

Hi, I only saw your reply today hence the late reply. Maybe it's just me but the G500 is too bulky and the build quality is lower than the G5 in my opinion, for example when you click the mouse button it feels slightly loose on the G500. In my opinion, the G500 is not the mouse to upgrade to. I'm not sure which mouse to go to tbh. Right now I using the G5 again and the G500 is in the drawer.

I tried Corsair's and Razer's mech keyboards, and in my opinion this one is a lot more comfortable. The extra wrist space being built-in rather than attached allows for use of the keyboard on en-even surfaces, like your lap, etc. Software also works as it should and isn't overly complex.

I'm a low sensitivity gamer: 1100 dpi, 0.8 sensitivity in CS:GO. Disengagement is clean, with no interference after a lift. So I'd say it has a very short liftoff distance. The shorter the better!My past mice include: MX 510, 518, G5, Death Added, Copperhead and both versions of the Imperator. (Razer's dual sensor is a terribly unreliable gimmick!)10 years of competitive gaming and this is easily the best mouse I've ever used. It just needs a good mousepad to utilize it's full potential. (Thick cloth like QCK Heavy)

The tracking can be a little iffy. The DPI supposedly ranges from 800 to 2400 based on the setting, but the tracking accuracy can be a bit poor. I use it on a ANKER mousepad and it performs pretty well for my tastes, but I'm not a PRO gamer or anything. I play FPS, MMO and stuff a lot on it and it works fine for me. You probably want a more gaming-oriented mouse if you're planning on doing hardcore RTS or MOBA gaming though.

it's saves on the cloud and I use the same profile on both my laptop and gaming machine, works great.As for the thumb stick, I find it much better than my n52te and a lot more responsive. I use it for movement for my first person and mmo games and find it much more comfortable.
