Help Nostromo N52

Belkin : Nostromo™ SpeedPad n52

Anyone used or is using one of these? If so are they legit and are they any good for DAOC?

 

[rampant]

not legit - you do find lots of players using them though ......

I am assuming its not legit because it is programmable?

 

[tierk]

delete plz

I don't see why this should be forbidden. It's just a keyboard replacement, so what?

And just as little note … nobody will ever notice if you DO use it.

Been looking at buying one now that i am back playing the game but its a bugger to find here in Qatar, hoping one of the relatives coming to visit will bring it with them.

I have that exact one, and I don't really use it at all. lol.

 

[rampant]

tried one, but being a left handie - couldnt get used to it....

a lot of the good players use it as you can program functions to it - like face, attack etc - very much a cheat item

 

[Cylian]

as long as you bind only a single key (or combination like Shift-F) it's all good.
macros aren't in line of the CoC etc. Same goes for other programmable Keyboards/Mice.

TBH I think there's a lot of players using N95s or HotKeyNet to macro chants, they seem to be getting away with it too. They stand out like a sore thumb because they have perfect twisting despite doing all sorts of other stuff like styling / strafing etc...

I'm not sure that EA/Mythic feel it's worthwhile to crack down on that given the small player base, still there was some rumors on VN a few weeks back about a possible anti HotKeyNet patch - mainly targeted at macro groups like beth.

Just use a g15 keyboard works just as well

not as handy though!


...now a n52 next to a G11/G15...

Nostromo not the best one to get?

 

[Aiteal]

The n52 is quite widely used amoung daoc players, pallys and wardens with perfect chant twisting are the most noticable users, various VN threads were folks post a picture of the computer setup show a fairly high number of nostromos and g15s etc.

For the average user that uses one key for an anytime and a backup block/evade/parry style or for hitting two insta DD etc it's probably not noticable at all, its the twisting pallys that stand out the most.

My G15 + crafting = <3

I use the N52, have done for several years now. I first got it for FPS, but it's brilliant for mmorpg's as well.

It took me quite a while to get used to it, when i first bought it i didn't like it at all, it just didn't feel right. But persevere and it slowly becomes a must-have tool.

Used it for DAoC, WAR, Aion and now STO....it's easily the best gaming tool apart from my Razer Deathadder i have ever bought.

The macro function is very basic, so much so that i don't even bother programming it. If you want to macro, get a G15.

N52 will not work in Win 7, well I could not get mine working.

 

[dub]

its fair enough aslong as people dont abuse it.

As soon as you get more than one function out of one click your a cheat thou and should really reconsider your reasoning for playing games.

works fine under Windows 7 64-bit. Just set the Nost_LM.exe to be run in Administrator mode.
I'm using the 3.2.4 drivers.

Brother just came back from Thailand with one of these for me!! Now i just got to get a clue on how to use it and then actually get used to playing with it. Anyone have an idiots guide to using the G13 for DAOC?
