I want to know, before getting one, if anyone tried the Belkin Nostromo N52 in anything else then gaming... Let say like photoshop or editing programs?
Any comments or suggtestions?

I played with one in a store, but didn't really have time to dork with all the settings or program any keys. I could see that device being a replacement for the left hand keyboard. Since all the keys (even the directional pad) are customizable, I bet it would work well in editing programs. For the cost I say it would be worth it.

I am a huge fan of all the different input devices on the market, and specifically for 3d work. I have plenty of sources too...

For photoshop and nongaming application, they have mice especially made, with several buttons all the way around. I don't think the keypad would do for photoshop. I like using a regular old Logitec optical mouse (USB).

yeah or there's a new mouse type thing thats basically a ball held up by 4 arms that sense the movement of the ball so it makes it much easier to edit models and such
