the sidewinder X4 is going for $59.95 in microsoft website which is about $60..when convert it should be around RM200 i guess..dunno here if price go up a bit or not..most probably the highest it could go is the same price as the G110 but hopefully not

but compare X4 and X6..which do you guys prefer?

@ excel_saga

I don’t think there’s “the Best” keyboard, because everyone will be using the same brand and model otherwise. Usually it the Price Performance Preference factor that decides which keyboard is “the Best” for you. Since I only have the X6, I guess I’ll just list my pros and cons on the X6 and then you take it from there. I don’t use macro so can’t tell you how good and/or bad it is ;p Also I never use the macros intensively, so cannot comment much, if at all, on that matter. Also I found this review that may be of interest to you, “http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Microsoft-SideWinder-X4-Keyboard,review-1508.html”, it’s a comparison between X6 and X4.

Pros -

1. Numpad can be detach to create space.
2. Big dial knobs to adjust amber color lighting and volume.
3. 30 macro keys, if you’re into them, numpad double as cluster of macro keys.
4. 3 years warranty.
5. 3 profile shortcut keys.
6. Built-in palm rest.

Cons -

1. Hold the keyboard and numpad seperately to lift-move the keyboard around.
2. No tiltless feature may be awkward to some.
3. Esc key is not directly above the (`) tilde key, may need some adaptation.

I feel that arvo is a really well design keyboard..the macro keys is at a place where it is easier to press but the only thing i hope that i wont find hard to get use to is their compact num pad and directional keys.

Yes, i'm selling..I dun see a reason of owning 2 keyboards and i just dont like the feel of G110. I guess i'm to used to laptop keys.

haha..yea, but its kinda of an alternative to the everglide dkt keyboard..sort off (if you dont mind the no illuminated part) tongue.gif

its small and compact..easy to bring anywhere..the thumbster keys are easy to press even when playing game..you dont have to move your hand that much thanks to the thumbster keys wink.gif

too bad the valo isn't coming to malaysia..thats a full illuminated kb..and a lot of macro keys with a few accessories
