Sixpence,
I also have the Nostromo and I really like it so far. I just bought one a couple weeks ago.
Here's what I like about it:
1. Works on XP.
2. USB plug only. No messy wires or power plug.
3. Simple to set up. I didn't need to use the profiler utility in AH yet, but I might reconfigure it a little now since I'm used to it.
4. Not to mention that it has 10 buttons plus an extra hat (that I use for full zoom controls with my left thumb).
5. It really was cheap ($29 USD where I bought it from).
- The only thing I don't like is that the throttle wheel (or general purpose analog wheel input) doesn't seem to have as much resolution as the other throttle control on my MS Sidewinder Pro does. But for throttle, it's no problem. I wouldn't use it for a pitch control, however. I you haven't bought one yet, I wouldn't let the thottle wheel res concern you, it's good enough for AH.

Sirlion, does that work with windowsXP? Saw one for $25 and would like to use it with my logitech. How has it worked for you?
