The n50 was one of the best purchases I've ever made because I use it almost on a daily basis. Besides the n50, something else that I use on a daily basis is my padded toilet seat...both great buys!
huh.... not a gamer here but its for like the control of FPS?
I used to play lots of CS but i think keyboard is perfect. THat one looks kind of.... i dont know
Does it increase your skillz? :p

It eliminates having to use the keyboard and due to the ergonomics of the n50 and n52, it WILL make you a better gamer.

You could use the n50 to control anything actually, and I'm sure the n52 should do the same.
I used it to control FPS to stratetgy games to web surfing.
Definitelly game me an edge especially in switching weapons.

I must be dumb because I have never gotten my N50 to work...does anyone know if it has a conflict with wireless USB keyboards and mouse sets?

Gotta "Q" here ...... How hard is it to covert (adapt) yourself with the N52 after using a keyboard for soooooo long ?
TIA ;)

I'd say 1 hr of playing with it should be enough for you to feel comfortable.
You'll waste lots of time at first configuring it because the program is a bit confusing, but once you get the hang of it, configuring games becomes a breeze.

like 10 minutes... but after you have used it you feel crippled without it.

I love the idea of this thing, but I am kinda goofy handed while playing games and I not only use the wasd for movement, but also use f, g, t, v, h, b alot as well and there just aren't buttons on that thing that would correspond! hehe. Oh well

i'm gonna have to get one of those just to see how they are.
personally i love my thrustmaster tacticalboard. little expensive and takes a little longer to get used to but definately worth it.

Well I tinkered with it briefly this morning. If you have a large hand or really long fingers, the palm of your hand doesn't really fit into the designed rest. Mine doesn't but after playing some games I was shocked as to how smooth and quickly I was able to control myself in Soldier of Fortune 2.

Turd, try it without the "palm rest". The palm rest pulls right off.
And you can adjust it. It has four sets of holes for you to adjust it..

I was able to move the wrist to suit my hands better.
I am never gonna play a FPS again with a normal keyboard. NO WAY !! I am hooked on this thing.
