So i have searched the site for "belkin n52 game pad" and read all the hits as well as looking through the wiki and reading some of the hardware posts that didn't seem to come up on my search. I am still wondering a few things.
I like the design of the n52 as it looked to me like you could map your movement keys and still have ability keys all around within easy reach. The physical keys available still are not enough but as i understand it you can hit some modifier buttons and bring up a fresh set of keys to bind. This might give enough keys mixed in with some keys on my mouse.
I have read that the older version of the n52 (which is still available) had 4 settings to switch between where as the new version only has 3 settings to switch between and that with the old version you could activate this with the click of one button but with the new version you can't do this. I am wondering if i would be better off going with the older version over the newer version? Appearance is nice but that is not a deciding factor for me. The newer version is prettier.
You can set modifiers in game with control, alt and shift... is this in addition to the three or four different key bindings you can do with the n52 or something else?
I would like to hear some of the experiences the community has had with the n52 or at least some of your opinions.
thanks
