Shift States
The Nostromo Array Programming Software allows you to program three 
shift states: red, green and blue. A shift state allows you to add another 
layer of programming to each button. You can either set different keys 
for each of the shift states, or set one to cycle through all the different 
states. This cycle shift gives you the capability to have two extra buttons 
for each state. Basically, it frees up six buttons. 

•  To program shift states, you must choose one button for a cycle shift 

command or individual buttons for each of the shift states. In any shift 
state, that button will remain a shift button and cannot be remapped 
with a function.

•  To program a key as a shift button, left-click on the button you would 

like to program and select red, green, or blue shift key or “Cycle 
Shift”. For the red, green and blue, you can select “Momentary” 
or “Toggle”.

•  If you select “Momentary”, the shift function will only be in effect 

while you hold the button down. If you select “Toggle”, pressing the 
shift button will start the programmed shift state and the controller will 
remain in that shift state until the shift button is pressed again.

•  Once the button is assigned as a shift key, you must go to the 

corresponding shift window to assign the functions in that shift state.

•  You can view different shift-state windows by clicking on the red, 

green, or blue arrows in the toolbar at the top. You can return to the 
original window by clicking on the “SpeedPad” icon.

•  Once you are in the different shift-state windows, you can remap 

keys, create macros and reprogram axes just as you did in the original 
shift state.

•  Through use of these shift states, you can quadruple the 

programmability of each Nostromo game device. This will also 
allow you quick access to many functions during games while 
giving you the flexibility of assigning shift keys to any position on 
your Nostromo controller.

• Save your work. 

In the “Profile Editor” toolbar, the icon between the question mark and 
the “Loadout Manager” icon is the “Contact Info” window. Click on 
that to get a window similar to this:

By filling in this window, you get something similar to a name tag for 
your profile. You can have the profile identified as yours, including your 
comments, e-mail address, etc. for the Nostromo community.

Once your profile is saved and identified, you can submit it to the 
Belkin Nostromo team by e-mailing the profile in an e-mail attachment 
to nostromoprofiles@belkin.com for inclusion on the Belkin website. 
This way, you can have your unique profile and/or loadout file made 
available to other users of Nostromo game devices throughout 
the world.

When you are finished creating or editing your profiles, left-click on the 
“File” menu on the toolbar and select “Save” or “Save As”. The default 
name is “Untitled”. Give it an easily identifiable name (for the next time 
you retrieve it) and click “OK”. 

Your profile is saved in C:\Program Files\Belkin\Nostromo\Profiles. If you 
installed to a directory other than C:\ProgramFiles\Belkin\Nostromo,
then the profile is saved in YourInstallDirectory\Profiles.
