What u mean fixed 3 speeds?.. u can set yer favorite or the selections of dpi u normally use into one of those 3-buttons mah.

Cool carbon mod there.. heh.. why didnt mod yer X8?..

Cheers

ya,i mean....
just can adjust 3 speeds on the buttons....this is the only disadvantage i found on this mouse

Hey AceCombat, how did u mod your X6?? Isit just applying on the CF sticker?

Hey peeps!, my friend just bought her Sidewinder X6 few weeks ago, and she noticed her keys faded!..

Dam.. is it a bad batch or what..

Anyways, to make matter worse, she sent back to the shop for rma.

A few days later, the shop that she bought from said "You can't claim warranty because its just fade keys, as the keyboard still working"...

Its there such thing?.. i mean few weeks only and the keys faded liaoz.. and yet can't claim warranty?.. wth...

Does anyone know the distro (contact number) or rma department for Sidewinder X6?..

At the same time i wanna find out too, as i myself using one and no keys faded so far.. *cross fingers*

I meant.. its a gaming keyboard... yet so easily fade wan..

Enigmare, since ur selling it oso, really can't claim warranty for faded keys ah?..

Cheers

Call for the Malaysia Microsoft .... asking for the warranty and also the issue's ... call them for sure since it has be a problem when you newly brought it

Remember Customer Rights they not satisfy us we also not satisfy their product also >=(

Actually, the sales person is quite right. Faded keys are wear and tear - so long the keyboard is still working, I doubt they'll make an exchange for you. Faded keys are quite normal I guess - it's the way the product is design. Sometimes, some people's fingers have nails which, can scratch off paint..ouch. Those oso u can't blame the seller or Microsoft what...

My X6 hasn't faded at all dude, and it's been a month or so since I've had mine. Maybe ur friend's fingers are toxic?

err but some unexpected tearing like it tearing it self without a proper reason can claim wad =/

I'll ask her to call tomolo, since so late liaoz.

I understand if the user used it more than few years, but not even a year...

Fyi, Logitech and Razer does replacements for faded keys within warranty period, and Microsoft such big company doesn't?...

Yea, the thing its we expect as a "gaming keyboard" shld be more durable than normal keyboard.. yet this happens...

Cheers

U sure Razer and Logitech does replacements for faded keys dude? As far as I know, those wear and tear items are not claimable...

certain of tear items are claimable =D .....

even my G9 Mouse can be claim the XL Grip even it has been a little tear off ....

Faded keys consider as wear and tear and physical damage,i dont think it can be RMA-ed

AceCombat, where u get the CF sticker for ur X6 dude? It's damn cool!!

U can get it from bulk order section... http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...n+fiber+sticker

@wingster
I would say depends on the shop u bought from...Some sellers are lazy to claim warranty for u, therefore they will tell u that there is no warranty for faded keys issue...

1st gen Sidewinder mouse owner here.. Very happy with it..although the size could be a bit smaller

Yea another red army here .......

size smaller? Sidewinder mouse should larger as I think .....

hello guys, it's me again...

got a feel of both the X8 and X5 today... first impression is that, the X8 feels real nice... my whole hand can cover the mouse nicely, with all my fingers at the comfortable areas...

the X5... well, all feels good except for my little finger, have a feeling of being "misplaced", but generally it's still comfortable...

however, the price of the 2 are worlds apart... SG$134 and SG$69 respectively... frankly, i love the feel on the X8, but the price tag is wat's stopping me... i really wonder if the extra SG$65 is justified... can someone enlighten me???

Goodness, why are the prices in Singing Dollars? Where did u check them out??

that's becuz i live in Singapore...

prices are from the shop called "Challenger Superstore"... those are member prices...

regular prices are SG$139 and SG$79 respectively...

Lol... That's cheap. Have they got the Mamba though?? Wonder when it'll arrive in Malaysia...

P.S. Anyone interested in buying an X5??
