Hi, I am just wondering with the X6 keyboard, does it have the lock 'window' button feature like tat in the logitech G15?

Hi guys,

I read through some reviews and found that the sidewinder x6 is very noisy and the keys become unresponsive after sometimes? Apart from that some ppl find that [Ctrl] + W + R cannot be pressed together? In games such as TF2 or CoD4 they cant reload when crouching and moving forward... Anyone experience any of these?

I wanna knw all the facts before getting myself a keyboard... Thanks...

Hi guys! After long pondering and sleepless nights... I finally get my butt up and got myself a new keyboard and a mouse... THE X6 and the X8! WooHoo!!! rclxms.gif drool.gif

So far so good... I tried Battlefield and obviously cannot reload when crouching and moving forward which is [Ctrl]+ [W]+ [R]. how about other ppl?

are you using G15?? Previously thinking of getting it... But the price is so much more expensive... It cost AUD$106 for G15 and only AUD$69 for x6... tongue.gif

yeah im on G15.....

if ur wondering if G15 has the same issue with X6 or not....

i dunno...never tried crouching + going forward + reloading at the same time in that game...at least not conciously....see la...mebbe later tonight if i remember ill try it then i report back....
EDIT: as for price...i dunno why its such a huge difference in Australia...but i bought the G15v2 and the X6 for my boss...both at the same time and at the same place...the price difference was only about RM10-20....forgot exactly..

Yea... I think it has to do with currency converting or Msia shop try to earn more from sidewinder? biggrin.gif

dunno about that la....but the time i bought the sidewinder was retailing around RM260 or something like that...

i think the price has dropped now right?? RM225 or something like that...

G15 price has been stable all the while.

Yea.. Last I check on the Bulk Section is RM225 lowest... I think more ppl are going over to logitech because of its reliability... That's why the price is stable because of the constant demand I guess.... biggrin.gif
