    "a hybrid gaming keyboard built to dominate in FPS (first-person shooter), MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role-playing games), and RTS (real-time strategy) computer games."

    So it's a keyboard+mouse on a really cool device you put your hand on (or in)

    I'm thinking - this could be a long shot - your press the keys with your fingers and it works like WASD, Space, R(eload), E(use), L+R mouse buttons even more..

    Nice one though :D

    This is exactly how it works :) I used the nostromo speedPad n52 for playing WoW, customizing macros etc. I don't think it's necessary for FPS games, never tried though.

    this looks like a left-handed thing - put your palm on the palm rest (the piece without any buttons), with your thumb on the thumbstick thingy.

    I have no idea how anyone can play an FPS on a laptop with out a left hand side car such as the Belkin N52. I have had the original N52 model for over 4 years now and while the buttons are a bit clunky the peripheral works great for gaming. I am eagerly awaiting the new N52te as it looks to have improved upon the already solid design of the original. Buy one of these babies up when they become available. Cheers.

    It's basically a mini keyboard with just enough buttons. It's perfectly shaped to fit your hand (adjustable). Its very natural after the break in and 2 day learning curve. I don't know how to use a keyboard anymore they're just too flat. ;)

    Shiny wasd keys are the mark of a gamer though ...

    lol nocturnal you crack me up. You see a Razer product and you go "must have".

    Don't worry, I'm the same way with Logitech products. I have a G3, G5, and a G9.
