Sidewinder X6 Gaming Keyboard Overview!

[Laquun]

if you are hard core gamer...for for g510 most macro keys for 100E price

[alekasas]

The keyboard is ghosts like hell. I cant play mame32 anymore cause i cant use the ctrl + up and right button :(

[Nebelwerfer89]

what is that song in the background :D I like it...

[akiskapouros]

Hi there,nice review

Ppl was compalinin a lot about a specific ghosting problem with ctrl+r+something,wich means reload while moving-crouch on fps

Did they fixed that problem with drivers or it still has it....

No i guess its to late cause i ordered it but whatever :P

[lendial]

@akiskapouros i don't think its fixed but what you can do is assign ctrl+r to a macro.

sidewinder x4 fixes ghosting issues though

[akiskapouros]

@lendial  yeap i got the x6 yesterday and it has that ghost problem.well its not really big deal.its good keyboard i can assing reload on mouse or even change the r to e and reverse

Super weird tough it only ghosts with that specific combo

[iWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW]

@akiskapouros so how was ghosting on the sidewinder x6 for you?

[akiskapouros]

@iWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW its as i said actually.....pitty that microsoft never cared to fixed that problem....otherwise after 4 months with this keyboard im very happy with it and its excellent choice

[mrnormalnormal]

call of duty 4????

[snakehunt89]

@mrnormalnormal yea mine didnt come with cod 4 hmmmm

[Antphoneigh]

are you aussie?

[RRRicard0]

can you take the armwrest thing off?

[5british5]

got the same key bord been using it for over a year its grate, i got it at eb games to but no free game for me :(.

[TheRES74]

@5british5 how do you still find the keyboard? are all the keys working fine? hows the volume wheel thing

[5british5]

@TheRES74 all good every thing still works it even survived a tea spill on it.. you gunna get one are ya

[TheRES74]

@5british5 After all the complains, nah. Probably steel series 6gv2 or sidewinder x4. You think x6 is worth it?

[5british5]

@TheRES74 never had any problems and i only payed $50 for it

[TheNaxed]

what sound card you have?

[NayokeHenji]

Can you change the color or is it stationary?

[michaelkitselaar]

I just bought one, been using it for a bit, so I have to correct you on a couple things

they don't all come with COD 4. Mine didn't, and it didn't have anything on the box about it. (got mine from MSY for $74)

the "RUN" button is a macro recorder

[MaxedOutGraphicX]

I bought this keyboard, I think its not worth it. After a Month or 2 the rubber Gromits under the keys shrunk or something by the LCD's in the Keyboard. So each time you want to press a key, You have to press it down hard to make it work. Its a alright keyboard for the looks. I really didnt like it

[gallya]

@MaxedOutGraphicX i've heard problems like that for this keyboard. The keys have to be pressed all the way down for it to work, but at least the lighting makes the keyboard look pretty unless you were looking for a different color lighting lol

[ParticalMahn]

I just ordered this, its arriving on the 30th

[CDA441]

is the connection from the keypad and the keyboard good or is it unstable?

just a question... :D

[michaelkitselaar]

@CDA441 very stable! It has never come off unless I have pulled it

[draaisma100]

got the keyboard but no call of duty for me xD

[splice247]

if your friend had this you could change some of his keys like make the a key a s key for a good prank! ;)

[aparach]

i got mine last friday it was one of my most expensive keyboard that i ever bought.. but not expensive if were talking about gaming keyboard ... lots og macro keys.. the macro is very easy to use.. the cruise key is fun to use when your playing arma 2...

[TheArekussu]

Is this keyboard good for typing on? I'm looking for a comfy keyboard that looks cool (I'm liking the look of this with the lights off) with a lot of options for customising macros. I'm a physics student and having a keyboard with a ton of customisable keys would be great for writing formulas in reports and stuff. What do the keys feel like? Or do you reckon I should go for a less flashy keyboard like an ergonomics one? I thought this would be good because of the sheer number of macros I can set

[tomstutorials]

Gotta say best keyboard i have ever owned. I suggest anyone gets it. Lots of macros ect

[naitsabex]

i just bought this keyboard. i love it.

it has a very nice looking, and i can see better than blue ones ;)

[Jak3Mac]

Very nice keyboard. I'm planing on getting one and the X3 mouse once my machine is built.

[YaarZePirate]

does it only luminate in red? or is there a blue version too?

[Mik3Anix]

@YaarZePirate nope only orange&red version

[manumanok]

do they still come with cod4 free? i bet not. right?

[stephen00z]

lol everytime u see an unboxing u see a Razer mouse or a pad lol

[undertaker550]

usb is much better! the reactions with wireless is very reduced! but with USB its vry good for gaming

[I7Stealth1366]

PS2 connector=best

[roskai]

haha, they suck

[BORNremedy]

i have the sidewinder mouse... but i have a saitek cybrog keyboard i wanna get this keyboard tho :)

[CobraGMW2]

Wireless are shit

USB is better

[Bill56569]

This is a really nice and good keyboard. One of the best I've ever had. I got it for only £40.

[skinnykidjr15reviews]

just orderd it

[alterbyme]

I'm totally getting this and the x8.

[ScottSanerson]

anyone help me out i got this yesterday and i got a windows 7 64 bit and it has to run on a 32 bit can anyone help me fix that or if i can change it to a 32 bit?

[TheHitman101123]

It runs perfectly fine with Windows 7 64 bit.

[CobraGMW2]

It Really fucking doesnt matter what OS peopole are using ...

[TheHitman101123]

Hey, douchebag, someone was asking me if it worked on Win7 64 bit. I answered his question.

So before you start flaming, try reading a little bit, k? It helps.

[Jak3Mac]

Yeah it does.. Most of the time they will, but some times, depending on the keyboard, they wont, or some features wont because the software wont know the fuck to do.

[mem3sis]

ñññññññ se pude configurar para poner la ñ

[boy3600]

Can you use the number pad without connecting it to the keyboard?

[MrH4rper]

no lol

[crazyduck9000]

no its not wireless

[GeorgeninhoG10]

BTW i got it today :D

[GeorgeninhoG10]

is there any key wich does not alow u to press start key when u playing a game?

[S1BoY]

Gonna buy it today :p

nice vid!

[djay230]

don't it sucks..just got mine and I am returning it for a logitech keyboard....the keys have delay so its harder to get timming right and most of the times you will die in a game because of bad responds time.

[djay230]

it doens't have pegs at the back of the keyboard to raise to too...also the wrist rest isn't removable so you have to use it as it is.

[blaze909]

can i connect numpad to the keyboard using usb cable

[CHEVINATOR1]

can you change the color? or no?

[WeztNinja]

nope u cant but you can turn it off :P

[DrummerInTheCity1091]

good review man, but seriously, get a tripod, it'll make your videos so much more professional

[timtimxyz1]

nice keyboard

[LoneWolfChuckNorris]

Any prolems with it since March?

[redkachina]

Nice..I just bought it as a compliment to my sidewinder X5 mouse

[tmakidd0703]

dude if you want a mouse get the g500 from logitech i have it and its just the g5 but way higher dpi and a few extra macro keys

[AntwKapa]

awesome keyboard

great for gaming

[chonzor]

is the x6 cheeto proof?

[Samen04]

I've got the sidewinder X6 today and i wonder, my volume control doesnt have stop so i can turn the wheel round and round is that normal??

[KaroSylvarwick]

Yes it's normal.

[chris82gr]

yeap

[TrashbatDOTcock]

that is normal

[patrikk777]

Is the numpad a different colored red??

[NvidiaCoolmaster]

no it's like the main board

[patrikk777]

Red

[zoow96]

saitek cyborg!

[patrikk777]

Fucking hideous.

[lightandshadow77]

Hi,

I have two question for you:

1) I usually place the keyboard on my leg. In this case could the numpad detach accidentally?

2) Have you experience of "ghosting" problem (by pressing many keys at the same time)?

[MichaelsInspiration]

Hi,

If your gentle - the numpad shoudn't detach.

and i have not experienced any ghosting :)

[akiskapouros]

@MichaelsInspiration sorry but it really has a ghosting problem on ctrl+r+anything

Otheriwise its a great keyboard and im a happy owner

[LLOYD19851012]

@lightandshadow77 hi, just wondering what ghosting means? thanks

[michaelkitselaar]

@lightandshadow77 the numpad is actually surprisingly secure. I have used this on my knees, and it has not come off. I can highly recommend

[Drogba757]

does anyone know how to get this thing to auto-repeat a macro?

[FrikZz0r]

oh god, video quality is potatoes

[M1rreG]

hello i got this keyboard today, i dont know what ive done but my numpad lights orange and not red, and its not working, plz help me

[ShaDDowShide]

you have to change the user profile on it to 1.

[weaselciuy]

good review dudeand very lively. thx

[xxxgingerrockerxxx]

amazon 55$ FTW

[CMHydra]

Pricegrabber $50 FTW. lol

[redblaze93]

you need to install driver for this keyboard?

[jackelibk]

i have been checking everywere and every store says that call of duty not includes. i have checked ebgames and they don't sell keyboards.

[Tailsxcosmo2122]

question dude. Do you play Team fortress 2

[vigge3]

I got mine today, and it's rather nice actually :)

[Spartan117FS]

More of a unboxing rather then a review.

[hellfire3323]

I got this Keyboard and it rocks

good review dude

The Red back lit keys look Mint.

10/10

[tudajfor]

[hellfire3323]

nice review gunna go buy one of ebay now

[neongreen5]

durrrr why don't computer have wireless monitors durrr durrr why not just a wireless internet DURRR DURRR

[oOADROo]

Tracey In My Room - Everything But The Girl Vs Soul Visi

i love that tune and so the Sidewinder X6 Gaming Keyboard

[Vi5taHat3r]

wireless keyboads are rubbish for gaming!

[LILtitson]

thats soooo true, mouse are no better neither

[gamenow44]

the only bad thing is that they loose battery power fast

[gallya]

@Vi5taHat3r not really i personally dont use a wireless keyboard but i have used a wireless keyboard and i haven't had any problems with it. It might not be as reactive like click and in 0.00001ms it'll be pressed and respond but it does get the job done. I've played cod mw2 with a microsoft arc keyboard and did pretty good although i do a little bit better with my razer lycosa and logitech g110

[laelprais]

@Vi5taHat3r its not a wireless

[Agomongo1235]

@Vi5taHat3r wtf how O_o

[runerqp]

it would be and enxcelnt keyboard if only correct one thing:

-wireless!

[AnThOnYrox8]

btw it looks like u have a razer diamondback mouse.. :D mines dieing well the rightclick button is so im upgrading to MS sidewinder gaming mouse the first 1 of the series 2007

[AnThOnYrox8]

i was going to get this but got the g15 instead... :D i rather a led screen then a moveable numberpad which can be extremely macroable :P

[12bitchmore]

why do keyboards evan have numberpads, ive never used mine o-o

i just use the numbers above the letters

[neelantra]

huh? Think about the stupidity of your comment.

[12bitchmore]

think about the stupidity of your comment...

it has no point- there was no point in posting it

i hate you

[neelantra]

I have thought about it and errr...I conclude that you REALLY are stupid..let me put it simply to you - the 'keypad' is there for convenience, you see by putting the numbers together you can punch them in much faster, hence it is more efficient. Yes child, numbers are used in computer programs ALL the time. Have you ever paid attention to the design of cash registers, calculators, ATMs, EFTPOS machine little one? Perhaps you need to let go of mum's hands and force your balls to descend.

[0sebastiank0]

Yuck, this is so damn ugly! Nice review.

[meansav]

whats that song in the background?

[Matanff]

very nice review & keyboard hope u enjoy it !

btw how much did it cost?

[8SetMeFree8]

Great Video Review and /keyboard!

[FUzzyBUnnyBOoties]

Great review. It looks like a really nice keyboard. I like the fact that it is lighted.

[MichaelsInspiration]

Thank you :), BTW im enjoying it :)

[Peetah16]

i like this keyboard but i was gunna get but my store didint sell them. i would get the razor one but there also to expesive

[max112112112]

razers arent really good.. they are 100% over priced, and overall there are not as many features as in this.. This is maybe best keyboard, and G11 second best..

[Kettleback]

Looks small and nice. Like that you can have the numpad on the left side. I hate my G15 (old version) becose it so damn big.

[feverofhell2]

nice this is a one i've been wanting too see!
