Is a very good keypad
on September 21, 2010
Posted by: eldergamer
I have had the Nostromo N52 keypads for several years and I love them. I have carpal tunnel in both hands so gaming for hours using a keyboard is impossible for me. (I am an avid WoW player/raider)
This keypad in conjunction with my mouse, allows me to hotkey most of the casts etc that I need to use in-game.
I like that I can turn off the lights on the keypad (the blue lights are just too much glare, I wish they were like the Logitec low orange color), but I can't turn off the lights on the thumbpad,, so I actually taped a piece of paper over the lights to block most of the light.

I saw the other review about the magnet, something that I haven't seen in the keypads I have purchased, but since I am getting ready to buy another one (mine has a key that tries to stick occasionally now and is due for replacement) I will certainly watch for that problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

N52TE

They should spread the keys out a little bit more for big hands or long fingers, definately cramps em up.
What's great about it: 3 ways to program buttons makes it nice for different styles of play, characters and structures. Light weight nice for on foot. Saves programmed presets onboard memory nice for hauling around.
What's not so great: Gives hand a slight twist that makes my hand feel uncortable.
Programming needs some works for Scripts and Macros. Regular key programming is a snap and quick.
I would recommend this to a friend!

For those of us with larger hands this product is a godsend. My hands would cramp up using a keyboard, but now gaming is much more comfortable. The single key programming is really easy to use, the macro function takes some getting used to but in the long run saves time and that is why we buy these types of controllers isn't it?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Me and my wife got two and tried them for two weeks then went back to the keyboard. It's just too awkward.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
