So I'm converting from controller to KB/Mouse and was interested in either the Logitech G13 or the Razer Tartarus. My question is does anyone currently use either (or something similar) and do you use the stick/D-pad for movement? If so, how is it?

I use both a Razer Naga and a Razer Nostromo. The Nostromo looks just like a Tartarus, but I have no idea what makes them different...
*I took a look, the keys are "soft" on the tartarus and the #15 button is moved. 15 on a Nostromo is a large button under the D-pad. Also it looks like the D-Pad on a tartarus is like a joystick. On a nostromo you have the option to remove the nub and it just be a d-pad (I did not like the nub)* I'd maybe go with a Nostromo...
I do not use the D-Pad for movement, as it never felt right. I use "2,7,8.9" for WASD movement. The "down" button (on mine, down is left, because the d-pad is rotated for your thumb's natural placement) is my "3", the Left button is my Push to Talk for Vent/Mumble and I have no idea what I use up and right for off the top of my head (maybe nothing).
The "15" on my Nostromo is Space, so Jump.

Toss is the Naga, and I only touch the keyboard to type.

I picked up a Nostromo earlier today, like it so far. I'm still experimenting with the set up to find what's comfortable. I've been using the D-pad to move and it's not bad. I've also tried WASD with the D-pad controlling the camera, which was pretty cool too. I got a Logitech G600 yesterday, it's nice too. I have every ability mapped, so many buttons!

Am I the only one who pictured dice and figurines when they saw this topic?

Nope, me too. Brought back memories of playing talisman (a really old Games Workshop game).

It was kinda nice actually.
