Rating: - Something No Other Good Keyboard Has
I have the Logitech gaming keyboard, and have owned a number of keyboards, and this is by far the best. The simple reason is that it is a gaming keyboard that allows the number keypad to be placed on the left side of the keyboard.
I am right handed, so this may seem a strange reason to recommend this keyboard, but ergonomically moving out the keypad puts the main part of the keyboard and the mouse closer together. You don't reach far to move the mouse. For regular and gaming use this ... Read More
Rating: - Good keyboard but could be better easily
I got this keyboard to replace my G15. I have had both G15s so this is my third gaming keyboard. In general the keyboard is very nice, but I suggest consider what game you want it for. I purchased the keyboard for Warhammer Online, to help me with the extreme number of keys that need to bound for your abilities.
The first thing to be aware of, is the macros are driven by software driver. There is also a deficiency in the drivers that do not allow the macros to execute in games that ... Read More
Rating: - Sidewinder X6 Keyboard Review
After purchasing the X6, i ALLMOST love it more than the classic G15 LCD. But it falls short simply because i cant figure out how to turn off the macros pause recording feature. Macros made on the X6 are 100% ILLEGAL in MMOs. Since they record time between keypresses and not an actual macro scripting function. The keyboard is SOLID, types great. Had a problem with the 3,e,d,c key not registering on keypress, but i stuffed a bit of paper in the bottom of the key and it works like new.
Rating: - Decent Keyboard that's typical Microsoft
Preface : I am an avid gamer and 60+ WPM typist. I had been looking for an old Logitech G15 keyboard lately and decided to purchase Sidewinder X6. I run 7 instances of WoW with Vista Speech Recognition. This keyboard was to complement voice control through macro keys.
Detail :
1. Ergonomics
Touch typists are very sensitive to key mechanism. Click on the keyboard on the Sidewinder is soft but luckily click has good solid feedback. Each key is not mounted solid and gives ... Read More
Rating: - This is a winnner!
I received this keyboard today and have had nothing but good experiences with it so far!!
The back light is bright but not offensive; the numberpad/macropad easily switches between sides and removes completely when not needed; macros are easy to program, though the macro programing ui could be a bit better (software complaint - the hardware is great!); and it feels really well made. The different modes makes it easy to turn off buttons that annoy me during game play (windows key, app key) ... Read More
