As some of you know, after playing Vanguard hard core for a month or so, I started having pains near the tops of my knuckles on my left (FPS) hand. Specifically when pressing the ASWD keys to control movement. I am sure that this is the result decades of gaming.

I have been on the market for a solution. I found this:
Belkin Nostromo® SpeedPad n52

You can see a picture of it here:

After talking to some of you, I want to try and find the best solution. We have some great times ahead, and I don't want to miss them because I am in pain!

Any advice or ideas for us old timers is appreciated.



I have been using the Nostromo n52 pad for over 3 years now with total success. The problem my friends have noted about it, is that the keys are harder to press at first than a keyboard. However, your fingers actually adjust and strengthen and it's so ergonamically correct that I can't imagine ever using a keyboard for gaming - especially because you can map the keys to do anything you want.

As far as getting older and arthritic...well I'm 31 and can't say I can totally empathize on that matter, but I'd definitely recommend a nostromo to anyone interested.
