Which one?  The new one or the old one?

how about both with a little feedback on them, I'm interested in getting one after seeing one on tv but wondered if they're worth it.

First one that I had was the N52 - I liked this pad very much and the only reason I upgraded was because the new one came out which has better keys and the backlighting.  This pad cost about $30.

The new ad is the N52te - I like this pad even more then the first one.  Buttons are much nicer then the original and the wrist rest is a much better material.  I like that it glows blue for the backlighting which you can turn off if you want to, but it matches my keyboard and mouse which is cool.  I am still not use to the new programming interface for the new pad, but that is just a matter of time messing around with it.  I have it working for now which is all that matter to me and I will experiment more in the future when I get time.

Yes, I took the pictures from Newegg.

Here is the first one that I had which is the Belkin Nostromo N52

I have VM's old one and it is WAY better than a keyboard and much more comfortable. Your hand is resting in a normal position and doing all the gaming functions without the hassle of looking and moving your hand like on a keyboard.

I took a look around at a few places here but didn't see anyone carrying them but I go to the states fairly often, where did you get it and roughly how much is it?

N52 - ~$30
N52te - ~$70

No problem...it's one of the best gaming investments I've made (other than a new rig and G5)
