Nostromo N52 NEW EGG Deal . . Again.

[kermitforney]

Just thought I would drop a line about this deal. I posted this a while back in the hardware forum, but they dropped the price yet again.

Check it out! Eight bucks ain't bad at all. :o)

$8.00 after rebate and free shipping? Just ordered mine...

Thanks for posting this

[Zseth]

I think I'll get another for that price

[sorrowharvester]

Wow, just ordered it!

Thanks for finding that!

[simpletom]

probably a price drop all over as they are bringing out a newer model, looks really cool just hopetheres more option to the colour as the one i saw was orange.

[Hippopotumus]

Ordered! Ba-zing!

Wth? I mean $8 is cheap but the n52 is clunky and cheap.

What the hell is the point of this thing, anyway? They always looked so damn uncomfortable, honestly.

[Zseth]

easy key bindings

Easy to use, easy to learn

Less uncomfortable than a standard keyboard by quite a bit.

Hmm don't think Newegg ship to UK :( or I'd order two... £4 each :) which is £20 cheaper than the last one I bought...

Yes they're cheap but in general they work and if they don't they cost less than a keyboard with this deal...

And I have seen a layout somewhere for one handed typing solution which when learnt rocks. :)

OTOH the software to program it sucks. :(

I liked mine a lot when I was two boxing. I like my G15 better for 5-boxing. I keep the N52 next to the G15, turned upside down, so the keys are closer to my hand. I just have a few abilities on it that I don't use all that often, but do like to have them on a key that 's reasonably accessible.

I'll eventually get an X-Keys device I think. No big hurry to change anything right now and I just spent most of my Christmas budget on a 24" monitor today and the rest will go towards a better video card at a reasonable price (i.e <=$200).

I looked at those.. thought they felt cheap and I bought a Fang.

A bit more expensive (especially with this deal) but I haven't really given it a try yet. Now that I'm getting into dual boxing, I'm hoping to put it to some real use.

[Zseth]

um, Fang = bad for multiboxing

idk, I found the N52 very easy to learn, very easy to use

Think so? Why? I can program every single button on it just like the Nostromo. Granted, it's configuration is a bit different.

I dunno, maybe I'll get a Nostromo at this price, or I'll wait to see what the new thing is. Anyone have a link? I did a search and didn't really come up with anything.

The fang is just poorly designed I have one used it, but never liked it.
