Nostromo N50 SpeedPad Game Pad Review

March 26th 2004 | Peripherals

Changing keyboards (should I not feel like hauling mine to a LAN party) will cause me a few headaches as I adjust to the new layout or design. Enter the Nostromo n50 Speedpad. This is not a keyboard replacement per se, but it does make for a good substitute for gaming. It’s a lot smaller than a regular keyboard, so taking it with you is a lot more convenient, plus it has some functionality that keyboards do not have.

There is a bit of a learning curve, but it isn’t too steep. Yes, you will die a lot adjusting to it, but once you get used to the design, and the programmable keys, you’ll quickly wonder why you never used one of these earlier. Serious gamers should take notice.

Other than the problem for left-handers, there aren’t any real flaws to point out. More keys will actually take away from the simplicity of the n50, which is its greatest strength.
