Anyone here owns the Sidewinder X6 and has the numpad on the left side? I tried having it on the left for at least a week and I'm still not used to it. I keep getting the macro button and control button mixed up. However no issues when the numpad is attached to the other side. It's such a shame cause I prefer the numpad on the left.

I suppose you're right. I'm just too impatient to get used to it. I'm trying it without the keypad and then with the keypad now. Seems okay so far.

I know what you mean about the G15 too. I always do that on my bro's.

There's black backlight for the Sidewinder X4? Interesting.

I've tried it out. It doesn't feel cheap. Of course it can't be compared to the Logitech G15, Lycosa or the Sidewinder X6 but it's a decent mid-range keyboard. Definitely worth the price.

Oops. My bad.

Well, don't know much about the Arctosa. Looks pretty much like the Lycosa to me.

How about the build quality of the Arctosa? Comparable to the Lycosa?

Yet the Arctosa is fairly cheaper than the Lycosa. I suppose cause it's missing the USB port?

If anyone here owns the Sidewinder X6, can you check the PrtScn, ScrLk and Pause buttons for me? Mine seems to be slightly harder to press than the other buttons. It also seems to spring up slowly instead of immediately like my other buttons. Doesn't feel natural so I'm just checking.

Edit: Nevermind. Fixed the problem. Exchanged it for another unit.

The X6 is by far the best keyboard I've used. It's comfortable to type on and macro keys are plenty. The backlighting is also one of the baddest looking out there in my opinion.

I've used the Lycosa Mirror before this and I have to tell you that the Lycosa is nowhere near this keyboard. The Lycosa doesn't even have any extra macro keys for you to configure whereas this one has 6 (or 12 because there's two macro buttons on 1 button) on the side. I'm not too sure about how customizable the X6 is to the Lycosa but so far, as far as macros go, it's really customizable. You can even turn your whole numpad into a macro board and back with a tap of a single button.

If you get the X6, you won't regret it. I know I don't.

I didn't know the armrest was detachable. Got a picture?
