Nice key layout. As for price, really it's really not too bad. A little more then I'd like to spend but over I can't complain to much.

I would be interested in trying something like this one day.

If you don't care about the nighttime lights built in. These are cheaper and do the same things (same company)

thats ghey!
I wouldnt be able to use it, cos I'm right handed but I use the mouse in my left hand and I use the numeric keys for playing wow and FPS games :S

I had the non lighting version and it was ok. The layout was bad imo. By forcing your left hand to tilt to the right, it gets uncomfortable after a while. For me it just puts too much strain on my left hand and now I don't use it anymore. What a waste of $40. Don't get me wrong, it's great for fps games, but not for long hours mmorpg.

and it looks ugly!

Nice concept but poor execution, mostly to keep costs reasonable.

You can get the game play bit separate, but having played around with one I prefer the shape of the nostromo, even if it is unlit with too few buttons. :(

Just bought the gamepad "Fang" part. Their download site is slow. After installing software, I set up some simple macros and find out the thing does not have a toggle on/off repeat like nostromo's, G15 and I guess X-keys have. I need the option to hit a key once and have it continuosly repeat itself till I hit it again. Surfed ther boards and found out it's not that I haven't a clue how to set it up, it just does not currently do it. So I reinstalled my nostromo and the "Fang" is going in the closet till they update drivers that will do repeats. Too bad, I liked their movement layout better then the nostromo's.
