Nostromo n30 Gaming Mouse
Home : Hardware : Reviews : Nostromo n30 Gaming Mouse
The source of this cranial distress is the Nostromo n30 gaming mouse from Belkin. This mouse came out about 6 years ago. Let me repeat that: it came out 6 YEARS AGO! “What does that mean for me” you may well ask. Well, that means no optical or laser capability. It also means no more than 3 mouse buttons, one of which has been relocated, in quite annoying fashion, to the side of the mouse on an overtly large flap.
It also means you’re in for a handful of gimmicky and ultimately worthless features that do nothing to improve your gaming experience, nor hide the n30’s unavoidable drawbacks.
The n30’s supposed big, stand-out feature is its “amazing” rumble feature, which is supposed to give one’s gaming experience a real visceral boost. The wrinkle here is the software which enables this incredible feature. See, it only works with games that came out about the same time as the n30. So pretty much any game that came out after 2003 is off the table, as far as the rumble feature goes.
From a purely esthetic standpoint, the n30 is a disaster. Possessing of a strange sort of mutated art deco design, it simply does not look right. Mice are supposed to be smooth, sleek-looking devices that ease into your hand, becoming a part of your anatomy. The n30 is more like a rock you slide around on your desk. Speaking of rocks, this thing is also quite heavy.
Even without the heavy mouse ball inside, the n30 is really tipping the scales. That gravitationally challenged state is due to the ultimately useless rumble feature we mentioned earlier. It is also due to the fact that the n30 is huge. Seriously, this thing is a bloated, unwieldy creature. There is no way a child could get their hands around it. Even this reviewer’s freakishly large hands were hard pressed to keep this beast of a device under control.

A blast from the past that should have stayed there.
You ever watch those shows on The Discovery Channel where the group of archaeologists find a new collection of dinosaur bones or pot shards from a long extinct civilization? They are always so pleased at discovering such ancient relics from the distant past.
Well we here at Gameworld Network had a similar experience recently when, to our surprise, we uncovered our own fossil from the past. Only this relic gave us no joy - only headaches. 
Look, it floats!

The N30 has an extra long cord, for when you want to frag from across the room.
