5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Enhancement for NovaLogic's Black Hawk Down!, February 23, 2004
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander (Personal Computers)
When I learned of this device from a friend, I had two questions: "Does it work with NovaLogic's "Black Hawk Down" game and "How much does it cost?" TO answer the first question, I contacted NovaLogic and asked them if this device would work with BHD - however, they informed me that BHD was not designed for 'game controllers'. Since this device is NOT a 'game controller (joystick, gamepad, etc) I concluded it would work fine (additionally, my friend also uses his for BHD as well). So I purchased it. As to the cost? Well, that is variable depending on where you get it.

It took me a couple of minutes to install the Commander on my XP system (USB), and I was programming the buttons shortly thereafter. Note: This does *not* replace your mouse or keyboard. It is a great addition to allow you to move your character around, perform things like crouch, jump, reload, lean, roll, hop, go prone, select weapon, emote, etc all from just 6 keys. It comes pre-programmed... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Strategic Commander, November 8, 2002
By 
"dinosaurus" (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander (Personal Computers)
I've been using it for about a year now and I can't imagine playing any FPS without it. I only use one of the available 3 profiles, since 18 keys more than enough for me. I haven't had any problems with it -- except that I can't put it down.

The problem for those of us who are keyboard challenged is that -- even if you optimize your keyboard binds for movement, weapon selection and chats -- you can never find the key you want fast enough. You have to stop playing and think about which key you want. In most FPS games, today that is longer than it takes to miss the opportunity and give your opponents the score.

This is the perfect human-machine interface. After you play with it for a while, you forget its there. You are totally submerged in the action and you never have think about the machine. It does take some time to choose your configuration and learn the shift-button combos, but after that it's entirely transparent. Put your most frequently used keystrokes on the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Product for 3D Animation Software!, September 25, 2004
By 
Juan C. Hernandez Camara "Chaac" (M�rida, Yuc. Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander (Personal Computers)
I use a 3D Animation software and all the important commands fit in the 60 command slots of this device. It is too bad MS is not selling it anymore. If you are a programmer or use a lot of commands, this product is for you.

And if you're thinking about using the Nostromo Device, forget it... I tried it and gave it back. It is not half as ergonomic or usefull as the Sidewinder Strategic Commander...
