The Nostromo Input Device Windows Driver refers to the device driver for a Nostromo gamepad or keypad, which was originally manufactured by Belkin (later acquired by Razer). The Nostromo series includes devices like the Nostromo N52 and Nostromo N52te, which are highly programmable keypads designed for gaming, with extra buttons and a joystick to enhance gameplay. These devices allow gamers to program macros, assign custom functions to keys, and generally improve their control in games.
