Chris McGugan, Vice President of Product Management, Belkin International, Inc.:
It’s been four years since we last visited the gaming arena, when we launched the n52. But now Belkin is back with an even better, stronger, and deadlier SpeedPad.
- We’ve been avidly listening to the gamers and their feedback on how to improve the n52.
- We’ve partnered with Razer, whose significant knowledge and expertise in gaming make them an ideal partner to further enhance our n52.
- And we are confident the n52te, with its backlit keys, multiple player profiles, and enhanced tactile feedback, will be a hit among gamers, bringing their gaming abilities to a new level of competition.
