...Now there is. Cyber Snipa's
PC Gamepad 2 is an abbreviated key "pad" that is not much wider than your hand and features a large WASD key section with (Q) and (E) for forward left and forward right... front and center and bigger than life.
All of the number keys are included, in a strip just above the WASD cluster, spanning the width of the PC Gamepad 2. Above these, (F1) through (F4) are in the center, (Escape) is on the top left corner (where you might expect it) and the tilde is on the top right corner. The (Tab) button is just to the left of the WASD cluster, and (H) is directly below that. To the right of the WASD cluster, you'll find (R), (T), (F) and (G). The bottom left corner has (Shift) and (Z) above a larger (CTRL) button, while the bottom right corner features the (X), (C) and (B) keys above a larger (Space) button. The bottom center holds the (Alt) and (N) keys. In an effort to keep you from needing to resort to using your full keyboard, the PC Gamepad 2 also features a volume up and volume down button to the far left of the WASD section; these buttons are nearly flush with the top of the unit, so they don't get in your way when you're trying to find more important buttons, but they are there and relatively easy to find when you need them.
The keys that were included, while a much-reduced set, are in a fairly intuitive layout and the action is fairly short-throw. These are also shaped somewhere between keys and buttons; most are more rounded than keys (some are actually circular), but they have much less travel than a keyboard, which helps to reduce their response time.
Selection of the keys was based on the needs of several popular FPS games, including: the Battlefield series, the Call of Duty Series, Counter-Strike, the Half-Life Series, Bioshock, Halo 2, the Quake Series, Unreal Tournament, F.E.A.R., Hellgate: London, Crysis and D.O.D.. The bulk of my testing was with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I found that the PC Gamepad 2 was very intuitive when used with this game. I only had to make a couple of key binding changes to get a really useful and efficient setup. I'm not a FPS expert, so I didn't try to compare any numbers between my using the keyboard or the PC Gamepad 2, but I found the PC Gamepad 2 to be very comfortable and easy to use, especially the over-sized WASD movement keys.
As for looks, the PC Gamepad 2 is very smart-looking, with a clean layout, keys in three colors and easy-to-read lettering. The PC Gamepad 2 features a nice palm rest that is attached to the unit with a hinge, so it supports your wrist, regardless of the angle at which you set up the PC Gamepad 2. Another aesthetic touch worth mentioning is the high output blue LEDs. There is one pinpoint LED in the Cyber Snipa targeting recticle logo, just beneath the function key cluster. Additionally, there is a button on the right side of the PC Gamepad 2 which turns on a blue LED on either side of the unit, at the bottom. The sides are sculpted so that this light forms an illuminated bar on either side of the controller, resulting in an effect that is reminiscent of neon used under cars. If your gaming rig sports a bright blue LED theme, turn these babies on to extend your theme to your PC Gamepad 2. If blue's not your thing, you can turn the undercarriage lighting off, but the LED in the target logo doesn't go off, so take that into consideration.
