Consumer Rating 
Price Range $15 - $32 Featured Merchants
Product Description The BELKIN n50 SpeedPad is the first gaming device of its kind, a completely new gaming tool that transcends conventional categories such as gamepads and joysticks. The SpeedPad can be best described as a combination keyboard and gamepad. The 10 keys on the n50 act as keys on a keyboard, with the advantage of being easily accessible and intuitively configured. The n50 also has an eight-way directional pad, much like the D-pad on a standard gamepad. It's an innovative, multipurpose tool that will lift your gaming experience to a whole new level.

Written By groxx Date Written Jul 14 2004 Summary Well, I bought this for my brother (birthday present), and he certainly likes it. He uses it in EVERY game we have. I don't, for a couple reasons. 1) It's... small. I've got big hands though. I have to bunch up my hand to hit the keys... Strength Easily scripted, TONS of keys (80 actions maximum!), great design, cheap ($20 at worst) Weakness Not for the big-handed, software is sometimes a pain. Bottom Line Great for average gamer or hardcore, an excellent addition to any computer. But try before you buy, or at least be able to return it (online buying not recommended).

Weakness keypad ergonomics could be smoother, directional movement pad is too sensitive. Bottom Line I recommend the SpeedPad given its configurability and slick design. Need to improve your gaming frag count?
