I use the be-jeezus out of my n50 for FPS, some SIM, and RPG. However, I see that the n52 has another row of programmable buttons and the wheel doesn't have end points (both would be very beneficial).

So anyone buy this yet? I found it at Axion Tech for only $27.95...

I was just looking at one of these last night. I'm thinking of getting one - specifically for Guild Wars and CS:S because using the keyboard makes my wrists hurt after a while.

Several members of the [OCG]Halo gaming clan have and use the N50 and N52. I use the N52 and find it to be a great tool.

I went to Best Buy and took a closer look at the controller. Upon closer examination, I found that I don't really care for it - it's a bit too large and it's very difficult to be able to access all the buttons without moving your hand from the handrest. I'll stick with my keyboard/joystick combo for BF2

I've got the n52, and i love it. I used to make fun of my friend for using one until he finally talked me into buying one on sale for $20. It's got incredible linux support (plug it in and it's a second keyboard), and i can play games for hours and not have my hand hurt at all, which is great considering sometimes my wrist would feel a little sore from using a keyboard to play games.

i've used my friends N52 before. once you get used to it it's pretty nice. my only complaint is that the thumb button was a little too stiff for my confort. i had to press down kinda hard to get it to work. but overall i think its worth the $30 you pay for it.

Thanks for the input guys, I ordered mine from AxionTech last night. I always thought the n50 would be perfect with another row of buttons, how often do you get exaclty what you want???
