Razer Nostromo

Ergonomic design. Intuitive controls include 16-programmable buttons, scroll wheel, 8-way thumbpad joystick. Blue LED backlight looks awesome.

Adjustable feature is almost unusable. Ill-suited to extra large or small hands. Thumbpad joystick is uncomfortable. Thumb button could be better.

I did find the analog stick on top of the directional pad to look a little clunky, compared to a pure analog stick on the G13. However, after talking about it we all kind of agreed that there seemed to be less uses for a full analog control than...

I’m having a really hard time figuring out the exact purpose of the Nostromo. Razer targets it towards all genre of PC gamers but to keep size in check Razer had to make a few compromises. FPS lovers will miss the top numerical row over the WASD...

Enough programmable buttons ; Customisable wrist pad ; Looks good ; Cons ; A bit pricey

A bit pricey

It might be hard to justify the 70€ pricetag of Nostromo. Undoubtedly it does exactly what it is supposed to be, feels good and does not have the disadvantages of traditional keyboards in gaming. With enough programmable buttons and 8-way d-pad it is a...

makes you feel like you’re controlling a mech oh yeah!, stylish, comfortable, customizable

pointless for FPS players, thumbstick too stiff for any purpose, slightly costly, not ambidextrous, takes a while to get used too

Like all Razer products, the Nostromo also comes packaged with the now familiar configurator software. In fact, we have become so familiar with the software that MS Word seems to have added the word ‘configurator’ to its dictionary automatically!...

16 Programmable keys ; 8-way D-Pad ; Three profiles for all buttons ; Well built ; Very comfortable ; Great Value if you can find it on sale

A top row of keys would be helpful (another 5 keys) ; Space Bar" could be a little larger and moved farther forward (I have big hands)

I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the Razer Nostromo n52te. I've been a keyboard gamer for many years and to change something as natural and normal as a keyboard for something a little different is quite a change. The design of the...

Comfortable feet, removable joystick turns into a d-pad, blue lighting, all the keys are in reach of my fingers

The button under the thumb is a little awkward but there's a button above the thumb that works great in its place

Ergonomic, won't loose my place on the keys and have to look at a keyboard, can move the bulky full keyboard away, looks cool, can use my thumb they way I would on an xbox controller

The thumb stick is more like a gameboy 4 directional controller than an xbox thumb stick with it's smooth spectrum of axis positions and variable movement speed. An xbox style thumb stick with all the extra information it carries would have been...
