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.

The N52 came along several years into my gaming, so I knew it was sort of nuts to change to it, but I saw such potential that it was worth the learning curve. And all I ever have to do is copy and modify one of my existing profiles to any new game, and bingo, I always play every game with the same movements, or realllllly close.

I have small hands, so I completely removed the palm rest for the most comfort. Then I laid my hand on the controller and found that my fingertips most comfortably rest on the second row of keys.

I have the D-pad mapped to movement - wsad (and diagonals in-between), so all of my movements are handled by my thumb. The big black button below the D-pad I use for Grenade.

The top row of keys are weapon selects.

The second row of keys are, from 10 - 6, Use, Melee, Jump, Reload, VentriloPushtoTalk.

The third row of keys are, from 14-11, crouch, prone, red-shift (I use this for making the D-pad for leaning), run.

The only problem I've had with it is that now that my right shoulder, back and wrist are wrecked from gaming, I have no option to switch to using the mouse in my left hand and continue gaming, because the N52 only works for the left hand.

And so, I mod games and do behind-the-scenes stuff instead of getting to play.
