Getting a Nostromo N52 Gamepad in a couple of days, Any hints on what key settings I should use Options

[William Wallace]

I was wondering what keys you use on the n53 gamepad? How do you have it setup? Do you use the joystick on the side as your movements?

Any help would be great I know there will be quite a learning curve but hope to kick ass with it soon enough

As well does the software help you set up the macros i.e M1A1 empty clip with holding down a single button etc.


Any other macro recomendations?


Help needed for both UO and COD2 as I play both.


Thanks.

It does take a while to get use to. Geno already mention moving the black palm rest back. You do this by pulling up on it so that it comes off. Then reseat it in the two back holes.

The other thing is to add 3/8 inch hard foam pads directly to the orange surface under the wrist. This will elevate it to a more comfortable position. Finally, adding a quarter inch hard foam pad to the black button where your thumb rests will make your jumps quicker.

For the mapping, there are lots of opinions. Shadow and I slightly different mapping but we have a lot in common. For starters:

keep the default assignment for A W S D keys (marked with orange arrows)

Key 11 to go to Prone

Thumb black lower key (with the foam added) as Space (Jump)

Key 5 to reload

Key 10 to pickup (F key)

After those, people's selections vary a lot. It might be worth a discussion party sometime. Kraze, Shadow, OMM, SlimShady and a few others have the N52
