Question about a certain gaming accessory

I went to Best Buy today to replace my mouse, and the employee who I asked about gaming mice happened to play WoW. After showing me where they were (nowhere near the other mice), he pointed
this
out. I figured it was overkill and said as much, despite the fact that I was eying it for its potential use.
Now, I remembered that there was
something similar
on the Wowhead store, so I went to check it out. After S&H, it would cost me ~$40 less to buy the Saitek one from the Wowhead store (after S&H) than it would to buy the Belkin one from a physical Best Buy. My major wonder is if either one would be compatible with WoW. I'd be willing to pay for the Saitek, but the only way I would ever consider the Belkin is if it was a gift.

Swifty of Darkspear
will swear by the more expensive model. I've never used either of the two you've linked, but I think they look rather comparable. You might try the cheaper model, but I'm not making any guarantees (and I doubt Swifty will either).

Whoever/whatever Swift of Darkspear is... It means nothing if the person has no clue what/who you are referring to. Dont know about others, but someones "swearing" or word, means nothing more than a pile of C**p to me, being i do not know the self proclaimed expert personally. Then again, i never listen or watch uTube videos of the game, being there is no way to really tell if it is an illegal server or the real thing. I certainly would never spend that much on a product i have never used, just because someone i don't know "swears" by it...
My opinion, Save the $40, go cheaper.... If you like it, upgrade later. Best and least expensive way to go. Dont make a $40 decision just because it looks flashy and glows, they both likely work the same exact way...

Thing is, I'm not sure that the Belkin would be better. I have a Saitek joystick, and it's good quality. Granted, I lost two of the buttons on it, so it's pretty much my Ventrilo switch now, but it served me well when playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Belkin, I'm not sure about - I've never bought anything of that brand before, so I have no past experience to go by. If anyone who happens by this thread happens to have a gaming pad of any sort, I'd love to know just how useful they are compared to the usual keyboard+mouse setup they are.

He's a pretty well-respected PvP Warrior. No idea about his achievements, but I hear he's one of the best. Meh.

Says you... I have been playing the game for 5 years and never heard of the person. Last i knew, I was a well respected Warrior Prot Tank on my server. Hell I was #2 best tank on my realm for 2 years, up to WOTLK came out, then i decided to back down and play other classes.
Point is. Just because someone makes a uTube video, and multiple people say he has "Talent", does not mean he is well respected. I'm sure that only a few dozen people actually know that person, and there are millions playing the game. To me, that is noting special.

Well grats Fed, sorry if I offended you. >.<

Oh no, no offense... Just pointing out that using someone else as a referral or reference means nothing to others. It is all hear-say, opinions, and theories, no actual hard fact or proof.
Its like the gold beggars in game. They say "Give me 100 gold and I swear to pay you back."
Or me telling you, "Go buy that house in Brooklyn for $1.8 Million, the neighbors are great."
