Microsoft's SideWinder X6 is a fantastic return to form for the company. It feels great to type on, has as much macro-ing functionality as anyone will ever need and the ability to swap the numpad from left to right is a real masterstroke. If you're in...

Detachable number pad, 90 programmable macro keys, media controls, short keys make for a fast typing experience, cool cruise control system

No USB ports, no stands on the base

A pretty impressive gaming keyboard; for macro freaks, the 90 programmable keys should prove very enticing and the host of controls combined with the detachable number pad make for a very flexible unit.

Simple layout doesn't overcomplicate or clutter. Good key response. Up to 72 storable macros. Quick access keys are real buttons. Swappable numpad gives flexibility.

Intellitype software needs a little tweaking to remove unsupported functions.

The X6 is an excellent gaming keyboard, providing innovation and useful features while keeping things simple.

Thirty programmable keys; profile switching; nice selection of vanity keys; automatically loads custom game configurations.

Not very comfortable for everyday typing; no adjustable height and angle; wrist pad isn't soft and can't detach from keyboard.

With its 30 programmable buttons, the Sidewinder X6 is solid choice for PC gamers who demand total customization. Its removable keypad is also sure to draw in the gamer who wants control over ergonomic preferences.

Great design and comfort ; Switchable key pad ; Profile modes for convenience ; 30 programmable macro keys ; Multimedia dial and buttons
