Apparently it's supposed to ship on the 17th... can only pre-order it at the moment but honestly this is well worth the money to upgrade from an n52 or to buy if you don't already have a Nostromo.

I have both...
I barely use my G-Keys for anything TBH... don't know why I got a G15 but w/e I like the keyboard.
I've used my Nostromo for everything but FPS since the n52 keys are a tad stiff...
But the new n52te uses laptop style keys that are way more sensitive than the G15 keys or the older model of Nostromo would be.

Yeah... I don't usually type much if at all in most games... I tend to stick with using ventrilo. In which case my push-to-talk button is one of the thumb buttons on my mouse. :)

And yes from what I've read it does. Can't wait to get one myself. :)

Nostromo is used in the left hand anyway...
As long as you can mouse with your right hand your good to go. I know a couple of people who are lefties and they right hand mouse left hand keyboard etc.
L2Ambidexterous. I use both left and right myself so it really doesn't effect me. ;P
And yes I know that sounded wrong but w/e...lol

Yeah it's used in the left so that you have your dominant hand (being the right as far as the product is concerned) on the mouse :p
I'm ambidexterous from a sporting point of view - throwing, catching, tennis, batting (both the baseball/cricket and sexual kind) and anything like that, but I don't have the fine control over it for gaming with the mouse in the right. I get impatient with my right. Anyone who uses their wrong hand as I like to call it for their mouse is a fhag for conforming to what the government want!!! A race of righties.

Well.. different strokes for different folks. I'd build up the fine control in both hands just for the sake of not having to go out of my way to find a lefty product and have the ability to use both. hehe

I got a nostromo and a Nostro N52.... BUt when they werent usable in Vista 64 bits, i got an G15.
But i prefer using the nostromo than the Keyboard, i just love the glow in it.
I would buy the new one in a hearthbeat

So let me get this straight. You guys buy a little keypad...to play games on...because the keys feel different than your keyboard's keys?
Why don't you just buy a nice keyboard to begin with?
MrStorm
February 7th, 2008, 12:48 PM
It is the arrangement of the keys that matters. You dont have to go trough all the line from F1 to F12....
You can save up to 3 layouts, and it changes from game to game.

My uncle had to wear a sock on his left hand when he was at school so he would be forced to write with his right one. And now his writing sucks^^

Thats because as that 7-10% you have a shorter life span on average.
Ima bask in those latter years of life while using my god favored right hand.

Not so sure about that, but I'll raise you schizophrenia and increased spatial ability.

So does that mean I use both sides? Since I can and do practically use both hands equally.

Yeah that red thumb button looks like a "shoot" key, but it's so stiff I use it as "tab" aka inventory in L2. :<

When home computers first came out, I used the mouse in my left hand. But because of the cord it got inconvenient always changing the sides; the cord was never long enough. So I switched to my right. But for everything else, I'm left-handed.

I haven't used that button at all myself for any game.
My L2 Config looks like this.
| F5 | F6 | F7 | F8 | Tab |
| F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 | Alt+T |
| F9 | F10 | F11 | F12 |
On the d-pad I have a macro that toggles Ctrl on and off along with a CP pot macro. My fingers sit on the middle row F1-F4... don't have to move any of my fingers but the distance of a single key to do anything with any toon in L2. :)

I played L2 on a keyboard for a while... but then again the one I had was setup like a laptop keyboard and all the F-keys weren't in groups of 4... they were a single line of keys, which made it easier until I got my nostromo... hehe
