We presented here last year their Nostromo N52, a gamers' absolute weapon, and an incredible asset for World of Warcraft or Call of Duty series fans. Fre2x3 from our French forum, and member of the iClan gamers guild, who wrote our REVIEW of this product, is now worried that no UB upgrade of the N52 drivers is in sight. Belkin technical support (for France and UK) first answered no update was planned, before writing the following as he insisted:
We told the person responsible of this product, who might develop a driver for N52 and MAC in UB. But we don't know yet if a driver is to be made for such or such platform.
It would be a shame that no update were planned though: as the Nostromo's warranty is lifelong, its buyers that would get themselves a MacIntel might as well send it back to Belkin, and ask for a refund without any hesitation...
But this same Belkin technical support answer to iMacX, another member of our forum who contacted them about the N52, sound like there might be a solution there:
You are correct, it is not yet compatible. We do not have compatible software as of yet. Please check back in a month for updates.We just hope an update is to be released, which would confirm by the way Belkin's reputation of being reactive. On the other hand, not doing it would represent a suprising lack of interest on their behalf for the Mac gaming market: while every sign is that the time when it was only a niche market is over, this would be quite a weird "strategy".
