from: Belkin Components
Product Description:
Nostromo SpeedPad n52 - Created to enhance your gameplay on the PC, the Nostromo SpeedPad n52 takes the best things about the keyboard and compresses them into one easy-to-use device! Typically the keyboard is your control panel. WASD for movement, and a multitude of other keys depending on the game. The problem is, the keyboard is meant for typing, not gaming. Having to halt your movement to hit other control keys leaves you a sitting duck in multiplay, and is just a waste of time otherwise. The Nostromo puts everything within reach, maximizing your speed & performance.Color - Black

- Low build quality
This gamepad has the best key layout of any PC gamepad I've tried so far. If the mouse wheel were replaced with another button, it would be perfect. The software to set it up is pretty decent too (For the non-TE version only).
The problem is that it's only going to last you 3-4 months of regular usage tops. The spacebar/shift button will probably be the first to go. It'll start squeeking, then bind up in crucial moments. The D-pad will be next... But the rest of the keys will all start ... Read More
Rating: - Game controller for experts...
Gave it to my buddy for Christmas last year - never heard more about it - think it may have been a bit more complex than was practical for the User. Seemed like a good quality product when I wrapped it up for him...

I have used the n52 speedpad for about 6 months now, with many different types of games, and find that it is easy to program and setup for each game. the ergonomics are good enough and the speedpad works well in all situations. The key contacts are positive with minimal effort, and there don't seem to be any problems with keybounce. I liked it so well I bought a second unit just in case the first ever fails.

While I greatly enjoyed this product and used it heavily for World of Warcraft, it is not compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.4). I recently switched over from Windows XP Pro, and tried to install the old software onto the new Mac system. The install was successful, and the software opens, but it won't accept programming instructions for the device.The N52 SpeedPad retains the default WASD settings, but the shift, round button, 8-way hat, and wheel don't function.
My only gripe with the ... Read More
