The Belkin Nostromo SpeedPad n52 is a USB computer gaming peripheral designed for gamers by Belkin. It is likely named after the fictional starship ''Nostromo'' from the 1979 film ''Alien'', which was in turn named after the 1904 novel ''Nostromo''. It can be considered a keyboard/joystick/mouse hybrid, which allows for a more convenient control method for many video games. It can also be used outside of games, for example to support cartographic software. It is the followup to the older SpeedPad n50, and is also intended to replace the keyboard during gaming. The device is currently supported under Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP (both 32- and 64-bit versions), and Vista (both 32- and 64-bit versions).() Additionally, the Windows Vista driver can be used to install the device on a Windows 7 system and retain all functionality. It is also supported under Mac OS 9.04 or later, and Mac OS X v10.1.2 up to 10.4.8. The programming software does work on Intel-based Macs. Intel Mac drivers are supplied.() The n52 requires a Pentium 233 MHz or equivalent with 32MB RAM, as well as 30MB free hard drive space. ==Features== The n52 is made in a black and silver design with a few orange accents. It features a rubber-coated base, and is weighed down with a metal weight for stability. The user must place his left hand on the device to use it, as it was designed for right-handed people, who usually use a mouse with their right hands. The n52 has a movable hand rest which can be set to 2 locations or removed to create 3 different hand positions to better suit various hand sizes by means of lifting the rest off the unit. A large space is used for a keyboard-like section with 14 keyboard keys, numbered 1 through 14, by default used to represent the WASD space on regular keyboards in the case of first-person shooters, one of the intended target audiences of the n52. These keys can be controlled with the users second to fifth fingers. Below where the thumb rests, there is a slightly wider keyboard-style button, labeled 15, similar in use to the shift key on regular keyboards. On the right side of the device, there is a scroll-wheel, like those normally found on mice, which can be controlled with the index finger. To the right of that, there is a round button, as well as an 8-way D-pad normally found on gamepads, intended to be used with the thumb. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nostromo SpeedPad n52」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
