2. Software Quality
3. Ease of use
4. Jerky, fast reaction, movement, not having to looking down, everything easily accessible (not to be confused with ergonomics).
5. What do you think about not being able to manipulate the macro timer?

I did not want a WOW perspective, nor did I want a random FPS opinion. I want a no shit, I f&$(#$g play Darkfall and this is what I think.


I have the Belkin Nostromo N52 but not the TE version. The model is pretty much Identical aside from some of the macro features.

Ergonomically, It fits my hand comfortably, but I have pretty small hands compared to the average adult. The G13 is so large that I cant use it comfortably. I have to pick my whole hand up to push most of the buttons.

I am not a huge software person, So I dont have much information to help you with that.

It is very easy to use. May take a few mins to get yourself oriented with it but Many of us have them and would give you pointers if needed.

You can have a twitch reflex with it. I use it for every game I play from FPS to Darkfall.

As for not being able to manipulate the macro timer.
That was a deal breaker for me. I searched ebay and other type of sites to get the old nostromo model which is the N52.

If you dont go with the g13 I highly recommend the old Nostromo model.
