[Frontpage News]Razer Nostromo n52te Gamers Keypad

Razer Nostromo n52te Gamers Keypad

We have just posted our review of the Belking n52te Nostromo Gamepad.  This version has been enhanced by Razer as they have a few things to do with the hardware and software tweaks to make this the best Nostromo ever.  I'm a WASD gamer on a keyboard and I use a lot of keys so I'll have to try and get used to this little device.  Please take a look at all the details in our full review.

I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the Razer Nostromo n52te.  I've been a keyboard gamer for many years and to change something as natural and normal as a keyboard for something a little different is quite a change.  The design of the Nostromo has always been ergonomic and they haven't changed that with the latest version - thankfully.  The keyboard layout feels quite natural but my only complaint is that there is not a top row of keys above the WASD replacements. . .

Please post your comments, questions and feedback right here.

Basically it's just the $20 n52 with a paint job and LED's?

I haven't seen the n52 available lately, but if the software is similar, they i guess so.  Razer typically uses their own switches in their branded products - which should last longer, but I'm not sure.  Where can you find the n52 for $20?  It would make a great addition to any gamers toolkit!

Thanks for the feedback casemods.

I bought my N52 years ago for $35 or so at compusa brand new.

It's lasted ever since, other than some fading of the print on it in various places.

Upon recent searching, apparently it's a lot more than $20, even on ebay.

Lowest I found was $27 shipped. But considering I found the TE for lower than that on ebay, I don't see why people still think it's worth so much!
