Reviewing the Razer Nostromo: A comfortable place to rest your hand
Back in July, I featured a submission on Reader UI of the Week from reader Steppinrazor which featured a dual-peripheral setup of the Razer Naga MMO mouse and the Razer Nostromo. The Razer Nostromo is a peripheral that acts as a keyboard for input commands, with buttons for clicking, a D-pad, a scrollwheel, and much more. In my discussion of Steppinrazor's UI, I made note that I was not privy to the Nostromo, having never had the pleasure of resting my fingers on its keys. Now, however, I've spent considerable time with the Nostromo and can tell you my story. Here is my review of the Razer Nostromo. The Razer Nostromo features: Ergonomic form factor and tournament-grade layout 16 fully programmable Hyperesponse keys Programmable eight-way directional thumb pad and scroll wheel (can be used as keys) Instantaneous switching between eight key maps Unlimited macro lengths (this is really cool) Storage of up to 20 different game profiles Adjustable soft-touch wrist pad for exceptional comfort Backlit keypad and scroll wheel for total control, even in dark conditions Enhanced Razer configurator software Works with Mac or PC
