Luckily we can increase this number, using Action Bar Pages. You may have noticed that, although the above gives keys and bindings for the majority of commands you'll need while playing World of Warcraft, it only allows for 12 Action buttons (the 10 N52 keys, "Bongos Action Button 1" through "Bongos Action Button 10", and the two mouse buttons, "Bongos Action Button 11" and "Bongos Action Button 12"), which isn't very many. GREEN STATE (assorted commands, especially map-related ones)īLUE STATE (commands relating to quests, inventory, and characters)
Then assign all the various keys that do change based on N52 color state - below is how I have all of my key bindings set:ĭEFAULT STATE (see below for a fuller explanation of my Bongos setup) NEVER CHANGE (commands relating to movement and targeting)
Once you have a fresh profile for the N52, it's time for Step Two.Īll you need to do in this step is assign the various WoW commands from the key bindings menu to your newly created N52 keys.įirst, assign the keys (listed above) that don't change based on N52 color state:
These assignments are arbitrary, I just wanted to keep them sequential as much as possible. Default runs " A-J", Red runs " F1-F10", Green runs " O-X", and Blue runs " 0-9". Key 17 is always ' Home' - this is *not* assigned to anything in the WoW client, and is instead my 'talk' key for TeamSpeak and Ventrilo (this is the N52 flat black thumb button)Īll other keys ( 01-02, 04-06, 10-14) change between four possible assignments, depending on the color state of the N52. Key 16 is always ' PageDown' - this is assigned to ' Target Nearest Enemy' in WoW (this is the N52 big orange thumb button) Key 15 is always ' PageUp' - this is assigned to ' Focus Target' in WoW (this is the N52 scroll wheel button)

So the keys ' 03 07 08 09' take the place of the ' W A S D' keys traditionally used for movement in most PC games this is why they are not mapped to action buttons. Key 09 is always ' N' - this is assigned to ' Move Right' in WoW Key 08 is always ' M' - this is assigned to ' Move Backward' in WoW Key 07 is always ' L' - this is assigned to ' Move Left' in WoW Key 03 is always ' K' - this is assigned to ' Move Forward' in WoW These keys are not used to control action buttons, but instead have specific functions at all times: Some things to note - certain keys (those in bold type) never change regardless of which color 'state' the N52 is in. This is how I have my N52 keys mapped when starting fresh:
To perfom while you're playing WoW (this occurs in-game, from the default Blizzard key binding menu).Ĭreate and save a 'WoW' loadout with the Nostromo Loadout Manager software, then "Launch Editor" and save a 'WoW' profile with the Nostromo Profile Editor. There are two steps to getting everything working for you: first, you map the N52 keys to a fresh profile (this occurs outside of World of Warcraft) second, you assign those keys to the actions you want them Second nature to me now, I barely have to think about what my fingers are doing, they just do it. Like any change to your configuration/key bindings, there is a bit of a learning period as you get used to what does what - but everything is Mileage may vary', but this configuration works perfectly for me. I have used a Nostromo N52 Speedpad for *years*, for all of my games whether they're FPS, RTS, or MMORPG, and I love it, would never give it up.įrequently folks ask me how, specifically, I have it set up for World of Warcraft - this post is intended to be the definitive guide to how *I* am using the N52 to play WoW as a high-level mage.
