I have a Nostromo(where the hell does that name come from anyway?)...key pad. I programmed it the way I want it for Vendetta but I get nothing when I try to play. I use it on other games so I know how to set it up. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a reason why it wouldn't work for Vendetta?

I have no idea. We don't have one of those to test with.
What is the web site of the company that makes it?

I use a nostromo n50 speedpad, and it works ok for me. I'm using it on linux though.

[edit - please note that this is a link to the origin of the name Nostromo...NOT the link to the site that makes the speedpad. (RelayeR)]

Same for me.. n50 in linux works perfectly. Don't know how Windows treats it, but linux shows a 10 button, 3 axis joystick.

There's a link to Belkin's site.

I have the Nostromo n52 and it works fine in Linux.

When talking about "a Nostromo" you MUST specify the model. There's a HUGE difference between the n50 and n52 (and I think there's a n45 or something too, which looks completely different). The n50 shows up as some sort of generic USB event device, while the n52 is a real USB keyboard and USB mouse wheel (no custom drivers needed for basic functionality).

EDIT: While Belkin makes it, Fedora claims the manufacturer is "Honey Bee." An OEM?
