I rarely use movement on my clones, but I've been seeing it as a problem with the arrow and wasd, and I need more buttons! I'm thinking of taking 2 routes:

Route 1: Buy a N52 Nostromo Game Pad and a Happy Hacking Lite 2

Route 2: Buy an Xkeys button panel
http://xkeys.com/xkeys/xkbuttonp.php

The range is about $130, but the cost of the xkeys wouldnt allow for more. I've been wanting to purchase a HHL2 to replace my $14.99 PS/2 Keyboard. Any suggestions or comments on any of the items is appreciated. I currently have an Xkeys pro and the fore-mentioned keyboard, but I rarely /w in game, so I wanted to put the Nostromo on the right, Xkeys on the left and HHL2 in top middle.

I never used Xkeys so i don't know what to say about it.
The N52te i hate... even did a post lol ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=67492&pollID=61&showPollResult=1#post67492')

I use the Ideazon Fang (zboard.com). I love it to death... cheaper too. Been using for 1 year and no problems.

idk about th "te" nostromo, but i love the N52, i have big hands and i find it very confortable, i use my G5 mouse for my mod's(alt,ctrl,shift). but it is all preferance, but i do have to say, it takes a little while to get used to and setup(so that its optimal).
i recommend the non te version, but i really want to see why every1 hates the te so much, i think i may have to buy it to try it out...

For the Happy Hacking Lite 2 Keyboard, can anyone give me a safe link that they used to purchase the keyboard? Doesnt feel right giving out my credit card number to a store that sells 2 items ;P. Thanks

I have the non-te version (the orange one) and it works great for me.

I also use Bongos mod and have it setup so that it is similar to the N52 button layout to make things easier for myself.

That's what I do too.
