Title: Nostromo n50 Speedpad
Developer: Belkin

Many of you know that I have been on the search for a game controller to use with my FPS games. YES... I realize that there is little reason move from the keyboard, but with all the new controllers in the market, one of them must be good. Don't you agree?

I think my search is over.

After waiting a little longer then I should have had to, my controller finally arrived at my door. I didn't have much time to fool with it with my busy schedule, but I gave it a quick install for a test run. To my surprise, a quick install is all it needed.

This little left hand device had all the amenities of home (my keyboard) without the hourly hand cramping. The keyboard shaped buttons are quite comfortable and the thumb pad is extremely easy to get used to.

If I had to say something bad about it, I could only complain about one thing. There is a roller on the controller that seems to only have use as a velocity controller. As an FPS game player, I tend not to have a use for something that increases or decreases speed without automatically returning to it's neutral state (scolls up or down, but you have to manually roll it back to the center position).

The controller only ran me about $40.00 US. It is completely configurable in relation to your keyboard and you can also program multiple functions under each key.

If you are out for a new controller or something to fool with, if you enjoy FPS games or action games, if you have afew bucks to spend, then i suggest to check this controller out.
