  • I'm up on the fence as to whether or not to buy an N52 speedpad. It seems like a neat idea and all, but I know next to nothing about the blasted things. Does anyone have any experience with this type of stuff?

  • For me, the Nostromo speedpad is a godsend! I wish now I had bought the N52 instead of the N50, because the extra row of buttons can be used to control weapons groups, while also allowing control of individual weaps. The thumbpad for me is the absolute best way to handle strafing modes, and you can move from one mode to the others effortlessly. If I had to control my ship with the keyboard, I would never win a PvP fight, because the keys are awkward for me.


    Now, if I can just improve my aim... :P

  • OK, so this thread is old, but I recently discovered that my trusty N50 speedpad became obsolete with Win7, so I was faced with a real problem playing CF! I can't speak for the N52 users, but Belkin no longer makes the Nostromo line, and I could not find newer drivers for Win 7. Solution: Logitech makes a gamepad even more versatile than the N52, namely the G13. It has all the same keystroke emulation and macro programming, but it is also backlit (4 colors), has and LCD display for a variety of functions, and its own memory, so the game profiles go with the device when moving from one machine to another (like for a LAN party). It set me back about $75 US with shipping, but it was totally worth it, and it looks to be set for years more compatibility. In fact, I discovered that I had to download the legacy drivers for my old comp, but it worked beautifully. Game On!
