Reviews and Ratings

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 the market for a gaming keyboard right now, this is the one to get. TrustedReviews
