Nostromo N52

Does anyone use this gadget and do you like

If you know of places to get customized profiles for like Battlefield 1942, Call of Duty, BFV, Brothers in Arms, etc. that are used with this gaming pad would you mind posting them here?

Thanks for any feedback.

I love it personally. Making your own profile is better than getting other people's. It's easy to do, and you don't have to spend time learning the way someone else programmed it. Not to mention the fact that you get to personalize it the way you want it. If you haven't already bought it, look around for a good price on this item, you can get it much cheaper than MSRP. I got it on the FSFT forum for $20 shipped.

Thanks for the great advise and response.

Anyone else care to contribute?

I got one for about $20 from the hotdeals forum. It's nice, not near as good as my Claw, but the price on those has skyrocketed. They now cost 2.5 times what I paid for mine nearly 3 years ago.

I use an N52 as well, I play most of the war games and basically use the same settings for all, with a few minor exceptions of course. This tends to keep the learning curve at a minimum. When I set up a new game, I go into options, select a function [ like reload ], when its ready for my key input, I press my upper left key on my N52 [ my usual reload key ], I don't care what K/B key it represents for now, and do the same for all standard functions. When I'm done doing that, I go back and see which functions still need a key assigned, and use any unused key left on my N52. If the game needs more keys, then I will assign an unused K/B key, rather than use the N52 secondary key assignment function. Hope this helps.

$85 for the Claw? I'll take the $20 N52 for sure!

Thanks. I am definately getting one. You guys helped me decide. I think it makes sense to use a kind of universal profile for all similar games. So that's what I'll do. The "claw" looks nice but yeah $85 is kinda high$$$. :frown:

Yeah, I'd go with the N52, I'd say get the Claw if you could still get them for $32 shipped (what I paid in December of 01). Don't worry you'll love the N52.

I'm considering n52 too. But I don't play action game too much. I just think this one is so cool!

Am I dumb?

Nice. I found it on Buy.com for $24.95 shipped new. Nice.
