Belkin "Nostromo" speed pad?

[CrystalMethod]

I was wondering if anyone else has one of these?

Got one from my brother for christmas, and I'm having a hell of a time getting used to it. I thought about buying myself one a few months ago, but never got around to it. Now that I have one, I'm not sure I like it so much. It's not really made for people with small hands, like mine, and it isn't adjustable. I've got it proped up at an angle, but it's still a stretch to reach the top 5 keys for me.

I'm lost as to what it is:beer:

Supposed to be something of a keyboard replacement for those of us who eat, breath, and sleep Quake3/Unreal type frag games. I actually thought of getting one too, but with Wolfenstein, 10 keys just aren't enough for me.

It's got effectively 48 keys, by running the software you can toggle to have the keys change to different things. It's got 3 leds on the left side of it to tell you which "mode" you're in.

Yeah.. if you toggle between the different modes. I wouldn't want to be the one in a major competition and toggle the keypad by accident (or purpose) and in the heat of battle, forget which mode I'm in and get my a$$ handed to me as I frantically try to toggle back. :beer:
