Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin n52te Tournament Edition SpeedPad
Customer Review: razor messed it up BAD!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
The game pad is no improvement over the n52, some will think it's cool, some won't.
BUT... THE SOFT WEAR IS SO SUBSTANDARD (I want to use harsher language)
The software packaged with the n52te is so much LESS than what you could do with the n52 its amazing it sells at all.
The only reason I own it is because there is no driver or software support for the n52 for win xp64.
With the n52 when you created a MACRO you could edit the MACRO button hold and pause any where from 0 micro seconds to as large a pause as you needed.
With the new razor software you only have the choice to set it 50, 100, 150 or 200 micro seconds. So when I need a 2.03 second pause between button selections I tried to insert 10 ea 200 micro seconds in the MACRO and the program would not save it.
On a high resolution screen you can't read the program.
The bottoms don't identify themselves correctly in two ways, if you have ever used the n52 you would know how much better the n52 software identifies the bottoms. For instance if you move your mouse over the button on your screen or if you press the button on the n52 it lights up not only the pad diagram, it also lights up the key slot corresponding to that key.
BIG STUPID ERROR on the joy stick in the program the up or north direction is actually the forward direction on the game pad.
All in all the software is a undeveloped, worse than the original, piece of DOO DOO.
Unless you have win xp64 save your money and get a better product, the n52.
Customer Review: The right stuff!

I just bought the n52te yesterday after so many people loving it, and I overnighted it with amazon prime (god I love that service)... I have the thing sitting in front of me and I'm already loving it without even playing with it yet. Very ergonomic.. and will go nicely with my Razer Lycosa keyboard. I almost think they designed the n52te and the Lycosa as sister products... because they are very similarly made in their design and aesthetic. Overall, great so far, and my only complaint is that the spacebar feels less bouncy then I would like.Customer Review: Swing and a miss.

I play a ton of different games, but mostly Team Fortress2 and Warcraft. I've been looking for some sort of an extra gamepad or keyboard to improve my gaming experience over my craptastic Dell keyboard and 5 button mouse, but this isn't it.
I've never used a N52 or any other gamepad, but I could tell 5 min out of the box that this wasn't going to cut it, for anyone, so it really makes me wonder what they were thinking. The main advantage of a gamepad is it gives your left thumb something to do other than hit the spacebar, which mine does a lot. Placing all your movement on your thumb is a great idea, and it's the main reason I bought it. The rest of the pad is completely irrelevant, just the thumb's area is really important, and the N52te fails horribly.
First and formost, the Dpad. it comes with a removable joystick button, which is almost as big as the dpad underneath it. it's also made of hard plastic so your thumb has nothing to grip. In trying to use the joystick, I usually was pressing the edges, which is a lot of unnecessary thumb movement, which slows you down considerably. Easy fix, either rubberize the button or make it half it's size, it'd be perfect. But when it comes to moving the dpad, I wanna meet the gorrila that ok'd that one. It's stiff as a rock, and completely unresponsive to any level of finesse short of Hercules.
And I'm simply disgusted the other two thumb buttons. the alt button above the dpad is very mushy and lacks a clicky response, you don't know if you're hitting it or not, and that's very bad. The 15 button below your thumb is too far toward your palm and needs to be hit dead center to register, requiring complete repositioning of your hand to use it.
Now, I could go on about how the upper key's faces are too close together, causing fingers to get "lost," a scroll wheel with 1/4" of play, or really overly bright backlighting, but I think you get the point. The software was OK and the rest of it I really didn't mind, but when the thumb area, the only advantage a gampad has fails so completely, kinda makes you wonder.
Don't buy it, whatever you're using now is probably better.
Customer Review: Great for gaming...

I bought this mostly for first person shooters and it's been great so far... I can't say it's improved my gaming at all but it's MUCH more comfortable than using the left side of a keyboard.
