Input Alternatives

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: Just about everyone can benefit from having a small collection of commonly used commands under their thumb.
Review: My home office's "personal work area" has been evolving over the last ten years, and one of the more recent additions I've made to it is the Nostromo N50 SpeedPad.

I'm not much on gaming, but this little device looked to be the perfect...

Gamers Look Here!!

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: streamlined keyboard for serious gamers
Review: Belkin has produced many different computer related products from USB cables to mouse pads. Belkin has not produced any gaming products previously, however it recreated the keyboard specifically for gamers with this n50 Speedpad. I purchased this...

Great idea and design, my brother likes it, but not me.

Date of Review:  Jul 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great for average gamer or hardcore, an excellent addition to any computer. But try before you buy, or at least be able to return it (online buying not recommended).
Review: Well, I bought this for my brother (birthday present), and he certainly likes it. He uses it in EVERY game we have. I don't, for a couple reasons.

1) It's... small. I've got big hands though. I have to bunch up my hand to hit the keys...

N50 SpeedPad - Better than using the keyboard

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: I heartily recommend this controller to anyone who plays a lot of FPS or Strategy games.
Review: The N50 is an outstanding game controller. At first glance, you may think it's a bit strange, as it's design is quite unique. However, if you play any Shooters or Strategy games, then this controller is for you.

First, this is a...

Let your Left Hand Evolve

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: A worthwhile investment for avid and serious gamers. Comfortable, reliable, sturdy, sleek, and easy-to-use.
Review: The PC keyboard has always been a blessing and a curse for PC gamers. It was never really designed to move secret agents through hallways, or simulate the cockpit of the latest stealth fighter, was it? Yet, it has survived because PC gamers are...

I love my n50 - when it works

Date of Review:  Apr 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: I still recommend this device but all you XP owners make sure you are using the most current version of the software!!
Review: I purchased a new Dell laptop PC and hated playing games on it's keyboard. So I looked around for a gamepad and stumbled across the Nostrom n50 Speedpad. It looked to be the answer to my problems.

But my new PC has Win XP Home on it and...

Why I bought it

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you are tired of poking at the keyboard and using the arrow keys or w,a,s,d to operate a game with then you have to try this out.
Review: I play FPS exclusively..I was tired of using the keyboard and a regular gamepad is out of the question. I saw this advertised in a magazine and bought one of the first ones out. Three of my gaming buddies watched my scores on Ghost Recon and Urban...

W2K or not W2K compatible

Date of Review:  Nov 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you have Win2000 beware, wait for new drivers, anything else GO FOR IT. It is great when it works!
Review: Walking through CompUSA one day I saw this awkward device. It intrigued me as I like playing first-person shooters, and it looked like it would be worth getting used to. I was surprised to see that it actually said it was Windows 2000 compatible, as...

Whole world in his hand.

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: I recommend the SpeedPad given its configurability and slick design.
Review: I'm using this on a Windows XP machine, with Sid Meyer's Civiliation III game.

I can finally push my keyboard aside with this new device. I've customized the SpeedPad to handle all of Civ's keyboard commands (keypad simulation, function...

Belkin's Nostromo n50 SpeedPad

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: If your a dedicated gamer, get this, if your not then I wouldn't really recommend it
Review: I ordered the Speedpad about 3 months ago in hopes that it will improve my gaming significantly. Also after hearing it obtained a 90% from PCGamer Magazine. When I received the product, inside the box I found the n50, software, and a helpful...
