Alright, since afew people demanding me to review the keyboard (I'm actually happy to do that) so i got no choice. This keyboard should retailing at Malaysia market soon enough after official launch somewhere in Oct 2008. The Microsoft Sidewinder will be retailing at RM299 (Mostly can find cheaper at lowyat). More basic info can be found here at Official Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Keyboard. The keyboard light density can be tuned via analog switch at the keyboard as well as volume. The numpad can be detach and attach at both left or right side of the keyboard (the connector arent USB so it can't be extended to somewhere else. And there are alot of programable micro key (which now i still no use of it, maybe some RPG or FPS games in future).There are 2 disadvatage i found on the keyboard
1. There is no sit up (or stand up) at behind of the keyboard. (Usually we make it stand up for easy typing)
2. The wrist rester (or whatever it called which u put ur wrist on top of it to typing CANNOT be detach. (but it still comfy for me somehow)
Finecut from LYN was asking : LOL, later see you review it on your blog oh the keyboard is standard key or notebook-flat keyboard?
The answer is it was half flat. It doesn't flat as notebook's but it also arent line standard key either.
EDIT: After several month after using, i found out that there a minor disadvantage.
Testing on O2 Jam game and it seem only 6 button can be press together
and tested on TF2 and L4D, u cant press Ctrl (Crouch) + W (forward) + R (Reload) which compare to my old RM30+ keyboard that able to do that, it seem microsoft have yet to design a ultimate gaming keyboard.
