I use Nostromo N52, purely for comfort in the hand (it's very ergonomical). It adds a whole new dimension to the game with comfy mouse panning I can tell ya that!

ïsnt it against the coc?

No, binding multiple functions to one key is against the COC.

Using game pads is not.

it's just basically a mini keyboard with d-pad stuck on, and it rocks imho

I'd be another + vote for the nostromo, I couldn't live without mine now.

cheers peeps rocks imo just need to get used to it

any one got any good profiles by any chances

Well with a Nostromo, you have to do the following:

-Qbind all the things you want to be able to do on the pad to keys on your keyboard
-Set up profiles (easy) to assign those keys to the Nostromo

You can swap between profiles in seconds.

A good idea is to draw an Excel spreadsheet map to keep track of which keys you have available. That's what I do anyway (idea: Aeoric).

I breathe spreadsheets :/

Couldn't map the N52 without one

Its lovely
