No, I haven't touched that picture, but here's a better one of the Nostromo, straight from Belkin's website:

Ten keys, an eight-way digital pad, a throttle wheel, and fully programable with three shift modes. A FPS-player's best friend. Leave your mouse free for other things. Before I got the Nostromo, I used my mouse to jump and change weapons. Now taht I have this thing, I totally redesigned my way of playing so it's more effecient.

It's designed to replace the keyboard. You use it in conjunction with the mouse.

Do they only make them to fit a left hand? That would be/is very annoying.

It's made to be used for your left hand. Belkin doesn't make a "lefty" model.

Well that's retarted. If it was for your right hand I might be interested... oh well. There's bad marketting for you.

Well if you're left-handed you're out of luck. When I play my games, my left hand is on the keyboard, and my right is on the mouse.

When I first read about it, I was about as skeptical as you sound right now. But then I saw that buy.com had it for $15 when Belkin retails it for $35, so I bought it. Now I swear by it.

Plus, would you really not trust something that PC Gamer gave "Editors Choice?"

My friend has that thing. He won it at the WasteLAN, at USF when it was here in Tampa Florida a while back.

He said it was pretty cool.. it's good for FPS games. That's about it. But he doesnt use it anymore..

Well I'm mostly right handed. I'm almost ambidexterous but not quite. I can do pretty much anything except write with my left hand.

After thinking about it I suppose it would make sense for it to be left handed since your left hand is on the keyboard when gaming most of the time. I would just have to try one out before I bought one I guess.
