The Nostromo is made from gloss black plastic with the keys and wrist rest being flat black. The shape only suits right-handed people who use the keyboard with their left hands. The layout consists of a pretty standard using keyboard, a wheel, and a 8-way thumb stick and "space bar" under it. In front of the space bar or "key 15", there are three leds showing which profile is currently in use.

The keys on the Nostromo are like on any mid-height keyboard, but they aren't aligned like usually, but rather on a grid-pattern with the left-most buttons slightly lower and the lowest row tilted front. All the 14 keys are fairly convenient to use after a bit of getting used to, but the location of the scroll wheel is too far to the right and close to the wrist rest and atleast I could never really use it comfortably. To be fair the wrist rest does have two settings for people with larger and smaller hands, but regardless of the setting the scroll wheel just didn't feel right.

The thumb pad comes with a removable cap, which changes the overall feel significantly. Without the cap the pad is more suited for accurate movements, like you'd normally do with the WASD-keys, but with the cap on it becomes more of a joystick.

On the bottom there are five rubber pads that, combined with the 250 g weight, are enough to keep the Nostromo firmly in place. Beside these there's also a switch for turning the lights off, and the model sticker.
