I use the swiss cross on my n52 to change weapons, works great.

Nope, not really. Between my n52 and my Logitech MX518 mouse, I can do almost everything without touching the regular keyboard. The ONLY thing I haven't set up off the keyboard yet is switching seats in vehicles, but since that is something that I personally don't end up doing too often anyway, I haven't worried about it.

I use the N52 as well with a G5 gaming mouse.

I use the thumbpad for movement and have weapons, prone/crouch/sprint commands, and other things locked to the key. It makes weapon switching very quick. And will be even better once I get more used to it.

Here's mine, I still use a temporary shift state (red) giving me access to 98% of the keys one would use for 2142 (just missing F3-F6). Old pics, but still very close my current mappings...

his one doesn't show it, but a click of the wheel toggles to the green profile which is exactly the same as the normal state except mouse wheel up is F1 and mouse wheel down is F2.

*Edit*
Updated screen shots to current profile.

is issue order just T+click?

The spot macro is one of my most favorite things.

Yes, T+click. I had a macro similar to the spot one but I found it to be more annoying than useful.

I updated the screen shots of my profile in the post above.

Red Shift is a momentary toggle, i.e. it's only active while I have the red shift key depressed. Releasing the red shift key returns me to the prior state.

Green Shift is a full toggle, i.e. I click it and the controller stays in that shift state when I release the key. Click again to return to normal. This one is for vehicles but I don't use it very often.

Ooohh, macroing a Q-spot... That almost makes me wanna break out my aged N50. I can't stand having to tap Z and remember to click fire. Half the time the infantry I'm trying to spot silently gets a warning shot zinged across his nose.

hehe... I think I originally created that just to see how well the macros worked but I got used to using it so I left it in.

**Zoraster** · 07-10-2009, 10:55 AM

the n50 probably won't have enough buttons, grey. as it is i have to sacrifice a little (i have to switch to the keyboard to select the SL stuff at 8, for example).

but the spot thing is super useful I think. i probably spot a lot more than I would otherwise because it's so quick that it doesn't detract from shooting.

The main reason I got the Nostromo was so that I could set up a shift state that reverses the rockets and defib, so I can have the same controls regardless of which assault rifle I'm playing.

lol, i set mine up to do that too, but I never remembered to toggle the profile when sides changed.

**CholasCa** · 07-10-2009, 12:11 PM

I got one of these a while back. I just set the controls in game to match how i wanted them for the controller... I thought it would be too confusing to use the editor... Anyways i like it alot... All the controls right in my hands
