Re: Windows 7 and Belkin Nostromo n52 problems I wouldn’t expect a fast reaction from Belkin even after the official release of “Windows 7” especially not for their gaming products. Updated drivers may take a while, however, this isn’t necessarily a driver related problem. The OP did not make mention of the device itself malfunctioning (freezing up, disconnecting, keys sticking and so on) but rather the accompanying software that provides advanced functionality.
Now while I would not expect a fast reaction with respect to updated drivers I would also not expect a fast response with respect to an updated Nostromo Profile Editor, Loadout Manager and so on (slower in fact). I think its been almost ~2 years since the current Windows version has been updated for the n52.
The Belkin n52te “Razer” software on the other hand was probably updated sometime within the last 12 months which is quasi fast for Belkin.
Which brings me back to my original suggestion. I vaguely remember downloading the n52te software when it first came out and trying it in Vista with my n52. It worked as I recall but I was at the point where I just didn’t really care to use the n52 anymore and I wasn’t going to shell out for the then new n52te. Poor support is what drove me to shelve the product but my guess is that the n52te will receive preferential treatment (if a new product doesn’t come out to replace it) and that you’d be lucky if Belkin even spits in the direction of the n52.
If the OP can get hold of the Nostromo n52te “Razer” software it “might” work better in Windows 7 then the native n52 software and again this doesn’t sound like a driver problem IMO. |
