User review - Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Gaming Keyboard
Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Gaming Keyboard

Great red backlight.
Easy to assign macros.
Handy moveable number pad.
Volume and backlight adjustment knobs a little too large.
No adjustable feet on the base to change the tilt of the keyboard.
Having thought about what keyboard to buy and read loads of reviews I went with the X6 as it was cheap and no too garish like the G15 Logitech keyboard. The Red back lit keys on the X6 are great and easy to adjust the brightness via a big while place on the keyboard. Side by side is the volume knob which is a great addition for easy and fast volume adjustment. I do think that they could have cut down on the size of the knobs. The layout of the macros keys is great with easy assess to at least 12 keys on the right hand side fo the board. The most impressive addition to this keyboard is the removable and swapable number pad which again all the keys can be assigned various functions both in games and windows if you choose.
The keys have a smooth movement which allows for quick typing as well.
All in all I am very happy with this keyboard.
