Belkin’s n52te Gives Gamers Full Control

By
Belkin

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’re at the wheel of the Nebuchadnezzar, Belkin has the gamepad for you. The company’s new Matrix-esque n52te SpeedPad was built to give players a stack of programmable controls for first-person shooters, MMORPGs, and real-time strategy games. We think you could fight off Sentinels with it, too.

Belkin’s introduced the device’s predecessor, the n52, four years ago, and built the n52te based on user feedback. The company refined tactile feedback for the unit’s 15 programmable keys, and as a neat bonus, they’re also backlit now. An 8-way thumb pad, scroll wheel, and wrist rest are also included. A partnership with Razer permitted Belkin to borrow the company’s software, which allows gamers to fully customize the pad and keep their settings organized in personal profiles.

The n52te SpeedPad will make a November debut in the United States, Europe, Australia and Korea. Asia, Latin America, and Canada will have to wait until February 2008 to get their hands on it. Prices will be $69.99 in the U.S., £49.99 or €69.99 in Europe, $99.99 in Australia, and 69,000 won in Korea.

It won't take long before The Zone teaches you one very important tip for surviving in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is to avoid fighting whenever possible. You can only carry so many resources, and prolonged fights can leave you with almost nothing left. And that's if you even manage to survive. There are some fights you just can't get around, though, but going in guns blazing isn't the best strategy. There's a handy stealth kill mechanic in Stalker 2, but you won't find it in any of the tutorials.
