- detritus 7y agoHuh. Your comment resonated with me, but confused me a bit as I had a 'Nostromo' Gaming Keypad too, but I knew it wasn't from Razer, so had to go check... Turns out the one I had - a Belkin Nostromo N52 - was at some point replaced by an equivalent from Razer, but 'made betterer' ( https://support.razer.com/gaming-keyboards/razer-nostromo/ https://support.razer.com/gaming-keyboards/razer-nostromo/ ). Your one looked a lot better than my one, covered in dust somewhere as they both now are!

- astrobe_ 7y agoI have a Razor Nostromo too, and I remember at some point I discovered it was Belkin hardware (perhaps in the name of some driver). I believe Belkin licensed it to Razor. I was gifted one because I asked for a separate keypad for gaming. Problem is, I am left-handed and the model I got is for normal people. Yet it was quite convenient, I have been using it for years, as testifies its poor state. A few years ago, some games couldn't handle keypad keys properly (facking normies...), so the fully configurable keys of the Nostromo did the trick. I simply couldn't use the directional pad and the other thumb operated buttons as-is (used them for rarely used stuff instead - it's still better than reaching out for the keyboard).
- smrq 7y agoI had the same problem-- I think the ergonomics of it were awful, though. I couldn't even imagine how to hold it in such a way that it wouldn't try to slip out of my grasp when using the joystick.
