Hi Gamers!
Are you a controller player who has been wanting to switch to keyboard and mouse but are finding it difficult? Maybe you can’t quite manage it for accessibility or health reasons. I have something I think you might want to take a better look at!
In this video I cover my first impressions of the HORI Tactical Assault Commander F14 FFXIV Black Edition! I pre-ordered this months ago, but it only just arrived, and I think it might have converted me!

Reason many play with controller is less the controller and more the comfort of playing from a couch. Sure you may need a wireless keyboard to chat, but nothing beats that laid back evening on the couch after a full day of working from a desk.
I might need to look into this. I tired using an XBOX controller in FFXIV and it was a disaster. I followed multiple tutorials and suggestions; but, I'd either end up starting something out of range or targeting a fellow player. I've uninstalled and reinstalled FFXIV so many times to try to get a controller to work that my controller now sits in the bottom desk drawer. I've even deleted the FFXIV folder from My Games so many times that my SSD was like "Dude!!! Give it up!!" So… Looks like I'll be a mouse and keyboard player fr now on.
I have this… and just sayin I use it EVERY DAY! It is the most useful gaming device ever made!
I like my g13
Been using Razer Tartarus V2 since Shadowbringers came out. Life changing.
Personally I don't really see the point. It's more expensive than most KEYBOARDS, and you'd be better served with just an MMO gaming mouse for keybinds, or a controller if you have dexterity issues or carpal tunnel.
I've never deemed smooth analog movement important for MMOs like this, but to each their own.
This looks like it could be a nice upgrade to my Razer Tartarus that’s starting to show its age. I’ve used it for years and couldn’t go back. I’ve heard some negative points for this compared to competitors but the seem to be minor.
The full analogue stick looks nice but it tend to switch between the stick on the Tartarus and mouse anyway so it suits me fine.
Ignore that Prop 65 warning, literally everything is "know by the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm."
I’ve been using Razer’s Orbweaver/Tartarus for over a decade probably. Love it! Devices like this make gaming on a device designed for word processing (keyboard) seem even more silly than it already is. Most people don’t even realize the battle they are fighting with the slanted rows of keys on keyboards, which is better FOR TYPING WORDS, but worse for gaming, when compared to the straight rows of buttons on these devices.
As a Azeron user: "Look what they need to achieve a fraction of our power"
I sooo want to be able to learn this. Ill try one. I have played KB&m for 24 years, tried controllers a few times, unsuccessfully.
On the fence about it
On one hand I love the controller
On the otherhand, going KMB makes a lot of things much faster/easier….
And the usual Japanese shenanigans of
"Our game is actually a worldwide phenomenon? Is it? Meh let us sells this for limited amounts so it'll be funni for other who lives outside of Japan who actually want it"
i started of with just the controler, then i developed a love for using the controler in my leeft hand and a mouse in my right hand. it was so great. but at somepoint i switch to full keyboard and mouse then getting a mmo mouse wow. though havent tried mmo mouse and controler, could be great. i have looked at the TAC before, so tempting but the price ouch.
Seems weird, the whole point of controller is that I can lean back and hold it comfily
EB status? Do you like miera?
ive been using the razer tartarus->orbweaver->tartarus v2 paired with a razer naga with the 12(+2) buttons since the original tartarus came out (atleast 10 years at this point) and have never used the keyboard other than to type since lol. sure its a pain in the ass to set it up for each game but worth it in my opinion. i only wish the thumb on the tartarus v2 was more of an analog stick.
Can I play Warzone too?
After having used a Naga Trinity I Think I'll stick to controller, was an interesting video though.
I'm using Razer's Tartarus(original,pro,v2) for mmos.
Their software is the worst in industry but ergonomics is great and they never get out of stock and support is decent so you can always have a way to get replacement.
This reminds me of those old Intellivision controllers where they were like NEEDS MOAR BUTTONS but they didn’t have any good ideas so they just put a giant grid of buttons on it.
If you know anything and I mean ANYTHING about pc peripherals this is the most obvious rip off in history
I still don't understand what it does. Would've been nice seeing you actually use it with your hands.
Using this made me sterile, 0/10 would never reproduce again.
I buy old Logitech G13. The best keypads for me '
I use a Razer Orbweaver, and i cannot play without it and I'm sad Razer no longer makes it. I'm scared for when it eventually fails.
i started using a azeron keypad 2 years ago and I love it haha
I've played with a Orbweaver for the longest time and got scolded for it, when SE released the HORI Tactical Assault Commander I was so happy ;u;
I received mine recently, and was disappointed that the extendable arm that holds the analogue stick seems to have quite a lot of wobble in it, but then I designed and 3D printed a shim that clips in from the bottom to hold it steady and it's happily replaced my Razer Tartarus!
I use a ergonomic split mechanical keyboard, which in essence gives the same thing on the left part, and the most difficult part with FFXIV was indeed to redo the action bars layout for each class.
But I also ended up enjoying the "half-keyboard" way more.
I am also a gamer whose primary proficiency is in controller use so its great to learn there are assist tech options for keyboard/mouse play!
Ive used a razer naga since 2009 and and a belkin n52 since 2004/ razer tarturus v2 pro (now). Since those came out I have religiously preached thag format for pc gaming, when a controller isnt suitable. Its comfortable, fast, and makes MMO easy to play. Ive looked at pada like Horiz but aside Razer only Azeron is potentially more ergonomic. problem is if i have one razer product i may as well have both.
I been honestly thinking about using something like that or maybe using the asus rog charkarm keyboard because I also been wanting to move to kbm but I just can't get over the movement of wasd on keyboard just feels so so slow for me personally and I've used controller for basically my entire life
lmao 140 USD for a quarter of a keyboard, ill take my superior controller for $60 thanks, this crap cant be worth more than $40 at best
The warning is required in California to be on anything that has a remote trace of anything that's been remotely linked to cancer, essentially. So it's basically on everything.
I am thinking about using this as a replacement for my logitech g13
It is a very similar piece of tech, but it is not available anymore, because logitech doesn't make them anymore.
Thanks for trying it out and showing the ups and downs.
Even so the g13 has quite a few more options, this might be a valid replacement, if I desperately need one.
Hello, Gamer.
M am I clics my skills
I have the same experience with using the controller vs PC (maybe 3 hours too). I'm currently prepping to use the Hori TAC on my PlayStation 5 so I've adopted the mouse and keyboard setup to the PlayStation5. I know you play on PC, but I'm hunching this won't workout as the mouse doesn't move smoothly within FFXIV using PlayStation 5.
Question: Do you still use your Keyboard or do you convert it all to the Hori TAC + Mouse?
Hey You convinced me to get this one as a PS5 player also very intereseted to finnaly find something interesting for playing this marvelous game.
I need a left handed version of this. Woulda bought one from the get go if there were onex(
its just an orbweaver
