The unit itself is about the size of one third of a normal keyboard and the cord is around 1.5 meters so it's more than long enough to place the unit
in the position you want it in. In the middle you have the blue buttons which are the movement buttons as default and the rest of the buttons are supposed
to be enough for most FPS games out there such as: Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 2, and Quake 4, ect... You have the ctrl and space buttons even
at a perfect reach for your hand. Flexiglow has planned this product well by even placing volume buttons on the unit for easy access while gaming.

The soft wrist pad is movable so you can place it as you wish, and I bet you can even remove it if you prefer not to use it.
On the right picture we have the pad ready for some games, and all we had to do was to plug it in and start the computer. In windows it found a new device and
windows had built in drivers so you don't have bother with them.
Testing:
We tested this by booting up Call of Duty 2 and gaming a little. Even though I'm no pro gamer I know what is good to use and
what can improve the gaming experience, and this is something the Cybersnipa did. I was able to improve my game a bit even after a few hours
of testing, I had alot more control of the buttons and everything is right there within the reach of your fingers so you can easily and quickly
do all the actions needed. It takes a bit to get used to this device but within an hour or so you get the hang of it and really feel the difference
in gaming.
Conclusion:
To conclude this I have to admit it's a great little tool for gaming and especially for FPS gaming.
It takes awhile to get used to but when you get the hang of this little gadget you will play a more relaxed game.
It's a high quality product which you don't have a chance to break unless you decide to pound it against something! Well packed, nice hand rest,
and well placed buttons makes it a joy to use this product. No need for drivers also makes it easy and conventient to install and use. I can't really find
any cons with this product, maybe that it moves around a bit more than a keyboard but that's the only thing.
Overall we give this 5 out of 5 and our recommendations for a great gamers product.
Pros:
+ Good button placement
+ High quality
+ No drivers needed
+ Soft wrist pad
+ Well packed
Cons:
- Move around more than a keyboard
