Customer Rating: Summary: Great, amazing, wonderful Comment: Man this is a god-send, I have part of a hand missing and this more than makes up for my lack of fingers. I have increased my mobility "in game" 100%. Best thing I've bought so far. Customer Rating: Summary: GAVE IT TO MY BROTHER Comment: hE IS LESS A COMP. NERD THAN i SO THIS WAS PERFECT. For those of us willing to go a little further look at the Nostromo52, Great pad! Customer Rating: Summary: The Black and Silver are the same, just different color! Comment: The Cyber Snipa takes all the keys used in FPS games - ASWD keys and those that surround it - and puts them onto one control pad. I started my computer playing days (before Windows 3.1 ever existed) with the arrow keys. In fact, I still use them (I beat Half-Life 2 using the arrow keys and the keys around that area). However, the arrow keys aren't cutting it anymore. Some of today's games are more complex and require more keys than are available around the arrows. Also, the other problem was that by using the arrow keys, it bent my wrist in such a way that after a long session of playing games, my wrist hurt. I have never gotten used to the ASWD key setup. I was constantly looking down and I would have trouble in the heat of the moment. But that is just me. It is just a matter of what you are accustomed to using in your game and how much time you are willing to practice using something else. I like my way, but I have been looking for an alternative for a while.
Enter the Cyber Snipa. It is a USB powered device (no drivers needed because it acts just like a keyboard) that puts your hand in the appropriate position to play games. On most keyboards, the W key and S key are not directly on top of each other. On the Cyber Snipa, they are, and the keys are big enough so that you don't hit either by accident. That was one big selling point to me. It fits my hand perfectly - I can reach every button with ease. Most of the buttons are bigger than your normal keyboard buttons (some are smaller) so they are easy to find and feel without looking down. Because it acts like a keyboard, you can customize and re-map any key in any game. The Cyber Snipa has function keys F1-F4, number keys 1-7, Control, Alt, Shift, Tab, and the letters around the ASWD including Q, E, R, Z, X, C, F, G. All of them are programmable in any game.
I have used the Cyber Snipa for a few days now and each time I use it my performance increases. It does take some time to get used to (like all new things) but I think it does its job. I have been using it in Half-Life 2 - I had to reconfigure two buttons, but I think the Cyber Snipa game pad is doing exactly what it is designed to do - help increase your gaming ability by putting ALL the buttons you need in one place while supplying an ergonomically correct position for your hand. The Cyber Snipa, well reviewed on other websites, is a good product that I think most gamers should add to their collection - it just might make them better gamers.
UPDATE - I have been using the Cyber Snipa while playing F.E.A.R. and let me tell you, this controller rocks. I have made significant improvements in my game playing. And now that I am used to the Cyber Snipa and don't need to look down, this device has elevated all areas of gaming, including the fun factor!
