    I have purchased one and it is good.

    It compliments my G11 keyboard like a match made in heaven (or Switzerland. . .)

    It is the evolved form of the venerable Nostromo and Harlequin approves.

    Read this review if you want more info.

    Whatever happened to the speed pad from Nostromo? Isn't it like the exact same thing.....just no LCD and has been out for like 5 years now? or is this thing better? review never really touched on it. Just flouted it's lcd over it. Maybe I missed something.

    The options are more, the layout is better - I used to use a speedpad and the g13 just shits all over it - more comfortable, macro support, profiles, more keys. . . just MORE.

    I have the Zboard, but ended up using the normal keyboard on it, as I don't see the point of switching em out..

    Does look nice though.

    I had an N50 speedpad I think it was... it was like the one of the early ones anyways... I found its software lagged my games :( but then again that was back when I would shut EVERYTHING off to play CS to get as much FPS as I could.


    So I have the old G15 (blue) keyboard, but I can't see taking my hands off the mouse to use that and a keyboard? (I play MMOs like a FPS as much as possible... using the mouse to turn and whatever else I can do with it)
    I always look at these pads though and want one lol... just not sure I would find it a better setup?
    Although I might be able to use my logi wave to game, with that on the side... hmmm

    i'm on my 2nd nostromo n52. wore out the first one. the g13 sounds pretty sweet, i'd like to actually put my hand on one before i toss out $70+ for it, but i'm quite interested nonetheless.

    what do you think of the little joystick instead of the flat D-pad?

    ZOMG, the gaming gods have answered my left-mouseyness prayers!

    Here's hoping it works on Windows 7 RC.
