Anyone use the Nostromo SpeedPad?

I'm sure if you have it you like it, but what does it really offer as an advantage over a keyboard?

Google can be your friend if you let it. This review specifically covers advantages over a standard keyboard.

Thanks. Convinced me I pretty much don't need one.

I bought one a year or so back thinking I'd get some kind of an advantage from it in a particular game... well, as it turned out in that particular game, I really didn't - I sucked anyway. 😛

I brought one thinking it would be good for the laptop (instead of a keypad for games) but could never get used to the feel.

Yes and I can't live without it. I guess it depends on what you use it for. The reason I picked one up is I was playing quite a few FPS games at the time and my left hand would get terribly cramped. I picked up the n52 and I don't have the cramping anymore. It also provides with some cool features such as key mapping for individual games that you can change on the fly.
