Key Bindings in WOW

WOW has set key bindings. You MAY--and I am not sure about this-- be able to check your own key bindings by typing /kb. Here are some lists.

WOW Wiki has lists under the heading Bindings. Note the Global Function List (second link) which is mentioned here as more complete but undocumented.
http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_API

http://www.wowwiki.com/Global_Function_List

It also talks about playing WOW on Macs with a link to the WOW Mac Tech Support forum which WOW Wiki says is very responsive to know issues. See Keyboard Issues.
http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_functionality_on_Macs

This article talks about keybinding in general in the game. There's also a macro for raid icon selections on page 3.

Here's a Windows list that has been checked by a dual boxer.

G13 Video Review and Drivers

A video review of the game pad. The review he mentions on his blog is a simple rave review without details. The Solo MMO Player says the video just shows the use of the simple pre-programmed commands that come packaged with the device. Still, if you like to watch things in action, this is useful.

Warlock Pets and Tricks

Warlocks wear cloth armor and have pets that are equally weak. What's a warlock to do? Here's information about the use of pets in arena matches. This information is post-Ulduar as it is dated last May.
http://www.locksucks.com/2009/05/pets-pathetically-easy-targets-for-slaughter/

And here are some tricks warlocks have up their sleeves. Read the comments section for even more tips and tricks, but note that this information is from December 2007.

Warlocks in WOW (with PAWN tag scales)

Besides the Warlocks Den* (listed on the right side of the page under Favorite Links) there are several guides to the warlock that look pretty thorough. Ten Ton Hammer updated their guide in January of 2009. Besides gear, talents and spells, it includes information about soloing with the warlock through various levels.
http://www.tentonhammer.com/wow/guides/classes/warlock

apbit hosts a warlock guide that seems pretty thorough and which includes a leveling guide and a list of known bugs (always useful). This information doesn't seem to have been updated since the original game came out. There's no leveling information for Outlands, for information. Depend on it at your own risk.
http://apbit.com/classguides/warlock/thewarlockguide.html

I found a site devoted to warlock builds that is updated to Patch 3.1. Definitely post-Ulduar!
http://warlockbuilds.com/

There is a wiki just for warlocks. The link below is to their section on green fire, which is an addon that turns the warlock's flames green. I'm holding out for an addon that allows my warlock to shoot pink rhinestones, but this is pretty cool nevertheless. The wiki has a lot of other good information like guides to raiding or PvP play as a warlock, as well as a list of macros for warlocks. This is a good site to explore. Look at Game Mechanics for a DPS calculator and a list of spell coefficients. I've added this wiki to the list of Favorite Sites on the right side of this page.
http://warlock.wikispaces.com/Green+Fire

Finally, from WOW Head's Class Forums for Warlocks, I found PAWN tag scales for those using PAWN to evaluate gear.

*The Solo MMO Player says the Warlocks Den site doesn't seem to have been updated in a while. Use at your own risk.

Logitech's G13 Gamepad Information

You'll find information about the G13 gamepad here. There are links to downloads, troubleshooting and the forums, but don't choose the forum button (see the next two links instead). There is also a link to the quick start manual in PDF form on this page.
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/441/5123&hub=1&selectedcrid=441&selectedcid=5123&cl=us,en

G13 forum information is more directly found at these sites.

Basic setup information here--

UPDATE:  G13s are no longer available new, just through places like eBay and Amazon at high prices.  If you are lucky enough to have one or buy one, here is a good source of information on how to set it up and program it.

RAWR, The Gear Comparison Addon

Here is RAWR's website. Note that I've found some users complain it doesn't work well on Macs unless they use Bootcamp or Parallels to run Windows first. Apparently it was designed for Windows machines only.
http://www.codeplex.com/Rawr

Druids especially like RAWR. Note that the Druid Wiki talks about using it on Macs using Mono.

Big Bear Butt Blogger has tried RAWR. Here is what he says--
