I also like the big round knob used for controlling volume versus the usual + and - buttons. But again, an adequate gaming keyboard with one really great feature. If Logitech made a keyboard with this break-off keypad design it would beat the Microsoft keyboard in most respects. For regular and gaming use this is a big win.Īs a gaming keyboard it is fine, and the keys feel adequate (not stellar). 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. 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. This review is from: Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Gaming Keyboard with USB Port (Personal Computers) I have the Logitech gaming keyboard, and have owned a number of keyboards, and this is by far the best. Travel is less than any other keyboard I have, though more than a laptop, and the keys don't stick up annoyingly far they are flatter than other desktop keyboards I've worked with. Key action has just the right resistance and clickiness it feels great and is never annoying. The sidewinder is on the (rather short) list of keyboards that have this feature.īut while I bought it for the backlighting, I'm keeping it because as a keyboard on ANY terms, it's great. I write quite a bit at night, don't like keeping my office lights on, and, while I can touch type, I do need to be able to see function keys, the number pad, music controls etc. When I recently built a new computer, I decided to treat myself to a back-lit keyboard. I do play occasional games, but plenty of other reviewers have covered the pros and cons of this keyboard for game use what I haven't seen are a lot of reviews for general use. This review is from: Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Gaming Keyboard with USB Port (Personal Computers) I'm going to say right out that I'm not a heavy gamer. If your hands must always be on the a,w,s,d for moving, then the number pad is too far out of reach to reach easily. Also this is a result of the decision to support macros via driver.Īlso the num-pad switching position is nice, but I haven't found a use for it. All I care is it doesn't work in Warhammer unless I disable User Access Control (UAC).

I know, I know this probably isn't a deficiency in the driver but in the game software.

There is also a deficiency in the drivers that do not allow the macros to execute in games that require administrator mode in Vista.

The first thing to be aware of, is the macros are driven by software driver. I purchased the keyboard for Warhammer Online, to help me with the extreme number of keys that need to bound for your abilities. In general the keyboard is very nice, but I suggest consider what game you want it for.

I have had both G15s so this is my third gaming keyboard. This review is from: Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Gaming Keyboard with USB Port (Personal Computers) I got this keyboard to replace my G15.
