I just love the sidewinder keyboard.. But no money yet for now to buy.. It cannot be tilt upwards at all?

Yeah, it doesn't have the "legs" at the back of the keyboard to tilt it up, which makes a normal RM10 keyboard feel proud about it.

same with u

to ts, i would like to ask you some question, x8 basically uses aa battery right? is it included in the sales package? and if yes, is it rechargeable or it just equipped with normal non-rechargeable ones?

It is included and it is rechargeable...

wow, just for rm275? wondering why? while the razer mamba can hit up to rm500, crazy! by the way, what's the mouse weight?

Yup... That's why I said this mouse is a value buy now.... As for weight I'm not sure.... It is slightly heavier than the Diamondback 3G bcos of the battery... If u take out the battery, then it is slightly lighter than Diamondback 3G... That's how I feel la... Still personal opinion...

Is it that hard?

All you have to do is press the Left top corner Microsoft Interlli- something something button, and then, From there, select your key, which is S1 - S12, or If Numpad Macro enable, S1 - S30, and then bind the key to

1) Key stroke,
2) Program
3) Folder/file
4) Disable.

And then, every different program can set different 3 Banks of macros, + the default 3 Banks macro.

So fun.

Yeah, it's RM275, like while the fella still has stock. I think kingcom is the only one selling the X8... Cuz like I said, I couldn't find anyone else at all selling the X8...

Anyway, I didn't know a Mamba would cost RM500... Maybe the initial price, but from what I hear, the X8 is actually scheduled to be priced @RM399..

microsoft sidewinder gamepad and joystick used to be legend...now, ms doesn't care about them anymore. sigh

No lar... Look now, MS coming back with their nice new X8. Seems like Microsoft is really making a comeback for Sidewinder.. Think about it this way - how often do you game with joypads nowadays? And was FPS as famous back then? The mice are the new gamepads for games!

now FPS game getting famous, like farcry,crysis, and left 4dead, they shall made a gun mouse like zalman FPS gun mouse.... i been waiting here in bulk order to join but nobody seem to care for tat zalman

how much dis baby gona fetch

This baby's gonna fetch RM350++ IMHO once it floods the market, so the seller tells me...
