Who's using an N52? Or a Saitek Cyborg?

Well? Do you? I'm thinking about picking one up and if you've got an extra N52 to sell, let's talk :)

I have the older model n52, and I love it. It'll take a little bit of time to get fluid on it, but once you have it down you can never go back. It puts a ton of functionality in a small footprint.

I have a Saitek Pro Command. I think it's the older model of the cyborg. I really like it for FPS's.

I have n52, n52TE, cyborg command unit...the original n52 is far better than the latter two. I even picked up a spare in case!

I also use an N52 and have for years..and like [GeordieLife ], I also have a spare on hand just in case. You do have to put in a lil stick time in order to get fluid on the N52 as [ lxskllr ] stated..don't ask..just do it..then enjoy your video games with more direct positive control than before.

I do fps & rpg type games mostly.

I am presently using an n52te. I was using an n52. The n52te took me a little while to get used to, but I love it now.

The n52te is powered by Razer which was Belkin's biggest mistake. The software absolutely blows. The older n52 software was simple & far superior. They are working on a 3.0 release of the software which is supposed to have some massive changes and improvements (we hope). If you go to the n52te web site and read the forums, it might keep you from buying one. If your into macros or want to use the d-pad for movement, I wouldn't get the n52te yet until we see what the 3.0 version of the software brings.

I have a Cyborg and never use it. The keys feel terrible and get stuck if you press them down at the wrong angle.

Edit: It's a Pro Gamer, but the cyborg is the same thing except red.

I've had my Saitek Cyborg Evo for a few years now and it's still working great. It's a little awkward to use at first, but it has plenty of buttons, responds well, and has taken a lot of abuse.

For some reason I have an unopened Saitek Pro Gamer Command Unit. Should I open it? Only game I play these days is TF2.

Well, after a few light TF2 sessions, I quite like it. It's going to take me a while to figure out what's the best configuration for the buttons and thumb joystick. I also have not looked into configuring profiles.
