[b]what do you think about de miscrosoft sidewinder x6 keyboard and the x8 mouse?
Waste of money imo
there are better products for the same price
microsoft was never big in the gaming peripheral department
its razer or logitech or gtfo

yeah there is not so manny people knowing this keyboard but by my opinion its the best gaming keyboard for the price!
Looks cool but I'd still take a G11 over it. I love the 18 macro keys in MMOs.
you have 90 programable macro on the x6...
get a fuckin Lycosa or a Turanchela(spelling)
lol razer lycosa or tarentula don't have anny special thing its just a normal keyboar whit backlighting and they just have to say that its a gaming keyboard ans people are buying it its making me laught

Not what I was saying. It only has 6 macro keys that are easy to press like the shitty gimmick red G15 and G19. The G11 and blue G15 have 18 keys for macros only that are easy to get to when you need them. The macros your talking about can be done with any keyboard and some software.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen the x6 in tiger and liked the Num pad, but I'd still take the G11 because of the G keys.
the x6 have macro like the gkey
every single key on the lycosa is a macro thats 108 marcos in total
The macros your talking about can be done with any keyboard and some software
all gaming keyboards are is normal keyboards with some back-lighting and macros. i consider just about everything else to be gimmicks.. except maybe anti ghosting.

tell that to the Gkeys. I used them all the time, they are far from a gimmick. The LCD screens are but the Gkeys on the G11 and G15 are very useful.
yes the lcd on the g15 is a gimmick
Oh yeah I got the X5 as well.. I wish I had gotten the LCD version because I love this mouse for what it is and I can only imagine the LCD + Weights version.. And shit if I want this mouse's big brother then i'd die for that X8
there are 2 versions of gaming keyboards..The sleek ones that are kinda plain like the lycosa which offer u fast response and the other ones that have an assload of macros which are more suitable for mmos..
the sidewinder x6 is ok. backlighting helps me when im typing or gaming at night. the volume knob is GENIUS. i love it.
the macro record feature will be useful for some people, but i dont really use macros.
a lot of people have been complaining about the esc key being in an inconvenient place as they would hit f1 by mistake but so far i've had no problems locating it.
as for the detachable part, i dont really use it much but i guess it can come in handy for those RTS or MMO games.
the only thing i dont like about this keyboard is that the glossy parts tend to be dust magnets. nothing my trusty camera blower can't fix.
can't really complain much about this keyboard since i got it for 20$ for a friend who had it but never really used it as he had a lycosa.
