Razer Nostromo Gaming Keypad Gets Innovative, Again [Peripherals]

The Belkin n52te SpeedPad set the bar for one-handed gaming peripherals that gave the look of they might control alien spacecraft. It’s successor, the Razer Nostromo keypad, maintains the look, and it’s been updated to support more instantly-switchable keymaps and gaming profiles.

The Razer Nostromo’s got the entire new chipsets and drivers that have cropped up since the Belkin Speedpad came out back in 2007, bringing it up to the mark with today’s cutting-edge competitive gaming (and maintaing its crazy-ass, highly intimidating look.) Besides its 16 fully-programmable buttons and eight-way directional thumb pad, the Nostromo can now support eight full keymaps (up from three) and twenty gaming profiles (up from twenty).

The new chipset does away with previous limitations on programming, so now all macros might be so long as you would like them to be, and a new configuration software makes programming them easier than ever. The Razer Nostromo is out there now for $69.99 at Razer Zone . I don’t play many PC games but I wouldn’t mind just having one on my desk, not plugged into anything. [ Razerzone.com ” >R
