5 out of 5 stars CAD User   October 24, 2008

I have two of these wonderful game pads, however, like at least one other reviewer I use them for work.

As an architect I am dedicated to my CAD programs and their constant need for keyboard and mouse input. My left hand was always a bit at sea, even with one and two stroke key commands for the CAD programs until I learned of these game pads. Love to say it was an original thought, but I read about it in a magazine.

Anyway I have it programmed for AutoCAD and Revit and it's a joy to use. Must admit that I stay on one level of key commands--decided my elder brain couldn't handle moving up and down between levels.

Well just another pitch to those who haven't thought outside the gaming box about these game pads.

I have used the n52 speedpad for about 6 months now, with many different types of games, and find that it is easy to program and setup for each game. the ergonomics are good enough and the speedpad works well in all situations. The key contacts are positive with minimal effort, and there don't seem to be any problems with keybounce. I liked it so well I bought a second unit just in case the first ever fails.


4 out of 5 stars Not Compatible With Mac OS X Leopard   July 8, 2008
Frederick James (Jax, Florida, USA)
While I greatly enjoyed this product and used it heavily for World of Warcraft, it is not compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.4). I recently switched over from Windows XP Pro, and tried to install the old software onto the new Mac system. The install was successful, and the software opens, but it won't accept programming instructions for the device.The N52 SpeedPad retains the default WASD settings, but the shift, round button, 8-way hat, and wheel don't function.

My only gripe with the controller was that it didn't have that 'clickey' feel that I love in keyboards... another layer of tactile feedback would have been perfect for this device. However, it was a minor beef, and I still highly recommend it for all you Windows users. Abilities become second nature, and it radically speeds up your gameplay, once you get used to it (which is quickly).

Looks like I will be upgrading to the Tournament version as soon as the 60$ comes my way.

Get one. You won't regret it.

Peace.



5 out of 5 stars Great device   July 2, 2008

I've owned one of these for about a year now and they are great. There is a period where you have to learn to use it, and you will suck while you are getting used to the controls. Once you do you will notice it's a lot easier to game with it than a keyboard.

Once you get all the keys mapped and you learn to love the configuration swapping (the round orange button) you'll be fragging like crazy. Note: it is a little stiff in the beginning but after a month or so of usage it loosens up a bit.

Useless for me, do not have enough functions. Any game i play required F buttons, and this thing dont have them. So i never used it. So if you play Wow, or Cs trust me its junk dont buy it.
