What about when I need to do multiple actions at once? How is this different than using a keyboard? Well, certain games allow you to develop keybinds to accomplish this. They can be confusing and downright difficult. With the speedpad you just use the macro record function. No need to remember difficult switches and commands.
Do you have another controller that you prefer to use with specific games? Wow, once again I have to say no problem. The speedpad comes equipped with loadout managers for the original n50, single and double gamepad controllers, as can be seen below:
Once you have the speedpad up and running, you can access all these functions via the icon located in the taskbar:
The quality of the speedpad is topnotch on the unit I tested. The keys were a bit sticky at first, but after a few hours of play they seemed to loosen up a bit. Either that or I was just slamming them harder, hehe. We gamers sometimes get worked up when we play. The orange button on the side was also a bit hard to press and since I didn't utilize it that much it never really got less sticky. Unfortunately, it only comes in this one configuration so left handers will have to learn how to cope, sorry. The palm pad, for lack of a better term, can be adjusted for those of you with oversized mitts.
If you are one who prefers to keep things simple and use only 10-15 keys when you game, this probably isn't the product for you. For others that need every advantage or who are already proficient and want to move their game to the next level, I would recommend giving this a try. Will it increase your score? I can't confirm that, but I can guarantee you won't have any excuses now. Of course, that's just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.
