    Razer Nostromo? It is still the n52te though :p

    None that I can think of. It's either one or the other usually. Alternative option is a keyboard with programmable keys ;)

    The n52te is great, honestly. I've had one for about 2 years, and I love it. Gaming on a normal keyboard just feels weird and clunky now.

    Sidewinder X6's numpad keys are reprogrammable and the numpad can be stuck on your left.

    If it is any use to anyone else (since OP already bought n52te).

    I found some online, this one i have heard of. Wolfking Warrior

    and this Cyber Snipa Gamepad V2

    Both of which Out Of Stock on Newegg but if you are lucky you can find them elsewhere.

    The Cyber Snipa pad doesn't look too bad, but the non-uniformly sized keys would kill it for me.
