Maya users: Seriously check out n50 speedpad

hmm I am intrigued.

Can you tell me a bit more about how you use it , how is your layout for example , which buttons did you map to it?

[MaDSheeP]

i tried that.. i found that i had to reach a bit more than i liked to hit the keys

here is another suggestion.. just an idea :)

but i am probably just picky, i would love to have kept it =)

it was very useful, but for my hand i just didn't like how it felt

what do you take your hand off the mouse for ordinarily?? (when modelling)

[meloncully]

since my hands are kinda small, some key combos are kinda hard to do, that is one reason, and another being, that when i am modeling, i try to keep my left hand in one spot so i am near my central key area and i havae to use my right one to hit the buttons closer to the mouse hand. and i like not having to move my hand all the way across the keyboard for buttons, i just have them all at mah fingers.





and, i dont really have to reach at all for any of the button/ buttno combos.


and you can make macros for those multi button hitting hotkeys

[edit]i am gonna have to make a low res pic of it, cant find decent image host

[meloncully]

ok, here is the config layout. you can program every button to what you need (like making macros for button combo hotkeys) and those 3 arrows are different shift modes you can have, you can set them to toggle[on until turned off] or you can have it as however long you hold it down.

really is a ggreat periph

hey melon, that's pretty badass, I'm gonna go get one just to try it out. Any more tips on use? how comfortable is the doohickey?

[meloncully]

its actually very comfortable. i havent had any issues with the comfort levels, i havent had any issues at all!! i love this thing.

and if you want, email me, and i can send you my layout, you can add to it and modify what you want to it. and i have made a lightwave layout too, and a partial xsi one.


so just email me, and i will be glad to answer more of you questions.

cool man i just checked it out at the store and it fits my hand perfect, so i've placed an order on Amazon. Thanks for the tip! BTW the latest drivers let the D-Pad act as more keys

[meloncully]

ah noisewar. you saved my life, i am soo happy that you told me about that update, i was wondering why you didnt have the diff shift functionalities to the d pad, becaue if you could, my speed/workflow would become better, now that that has happened, i think i will start using it to play counterstrike now. b/c i used to be cramped for [key]space when playing cs, and the shift keys with the buttons were too uncomfortable for a fast pased game like that, and i didnt use d pad in it, and now i can have the right amount of space and play with speed!!Shibby!!!

thanks
