Topic: Nostromo?

Is anyone currently using a Belkin Nostromo or similar? It looks slick and there is a new one that is coming in November ...

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductP … _Id=390404

I currently use a Saitek P990 gamepad, which sucks for FPS I know. I feel like I can be more acurate with a mouse/ keyboard and so I am ready to make the leao, but I am not fully comfortable controlling with the keyboard. But it looks like the Nostromo is a good middle ground.

I also need a new mouse and have been looking at the Logitech G5. Am I on the right path here or are there certain better mice that you'd reccomend?

Thanks!

Re: Nostromo?

I've seen those and have been interested in them just wasn't real sure how it performed in FPS games.

Skip the Logitech G5 and go with the G9 you'll thank me later for it. The G9 is a killer mouse for gaming and can be customized. Yes it is a little expensive but if you're a pro gamer then it's a must.

Re: Nostromo?

I have been using a NOSTROMO N52 for a couple of years now

I absolutely LOVE it - it is VERY comfortable for gaming as your palm kinda "rests" over the hump on the N52, leaving all of your fingers dangling over the important keys

That crap is utter crap. LOOK AT ME! I CAN ONLY USE FIVE OUT OF FIFTY KEYS! LOL IM SO COOL!

A little dismissive wink Have you actually used one?

You actually have ALL of the keys you could ever need where you want them - you can set it up to have "layers" so that when you press a "shift" button you can change the operation of all the buttons

If anyone does go for one of these feel free to PM with your e-mail address and I can e-mail you my set-up for BF2142 / FIRST STRIKE

Re: Nostromo?

Hmm, ok, so some like, others dislike. To me it looks like I could access every function I need, besides typing words of course.

I've seen some similar models by Saitek etc. ... anyone use those?
