Razer Nostromo issues, and I cant find anything.

I've been searching everywhere and am not finding any help, so figured I'd give reddit a try.

I just upgraded my old degrading Belkin N52, to a new Razer nostromo today. I installed the current drivers and firmware and set all my bindings as they were on my N52. When I am in game in BF3, I use my d-pad for movement. As I push forward on the d-pad and I'm running, I push left or right to strafe and instead of rolling into and out of a strafe, while going diagonally as well, it will stop and go directly left or right. In order to go forward again I have to release on the d-pad and press forward again. this is making it IMPOSSIBLE to play. I tested the settings on several other games and it works fine on them, so it is something in BF3. any ideas, please help me get back to the slaughter.
