With the SideWinder X6 sitting at the same £50-ish price point as Logitech and Razer’s nearest equivalents, the G15 and Lycosa, Microsoft couldn’t get away with offering any less functionality – which it doesn’t. Please go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Devices and Printers -> right click Microsoft Sidewinder X6 and then choose "Troubleshoot". We delete comments that violate our policy, which we encourage you to read. The intensity is adjustable via a large knob at the top of the keyboard, something like you'd find on a car dashboard. Though you probably wouldn’t think it now there was a time when Microsoft was one of the big players in the gaming hardware market. Then, we can check the keyboard settings in Control Panel -> keyboard. One of the main features of the X6 boasts is a unique, removable number pad. It feels great to type on, has as much macro-ing functionality as anyone will ever need and the ability to swap the numpad from left to right is a real masterstroke. If you’re in the market for a gaming keyboard right now, this is the one to get. Not normally a feature of interest (either there’s one or there isn’t) Microsoft has come up with the clever idea of allowing that particular keyboard segment to be removed and attached to either side of the keyboard’s main section. Now, finally, Microsoft completes the duo with its SideWinder X6 Keyboard. In both regular day-to-day use while working and for gaming I found the X6 no more or less comfortable than my first-gen Logitech G15, indisputably the gaming board of choice of its generation. Aesthetically, I’m still not entirely convinced by the X6, in one area in particular. If not you’ll be stuck with nothing more exciting than a bog-standard keyboard with a few media keys.
That said, the X6, available for around $60 online, is sure to please even the most hard-core of gamers.

Microsoft SideWinder X6 - keyboard - German agb00008. While I do like the red LED-backlighting of the main keys and, indeed, the orange of the macro buttons, I can’t say I like the two large knobs on the top of the keyboard used to control the brightness of the backlighting (left knob) and volume. With the Sidewinder X6 gaming keyboard, Microsoft aims at the serious PC gamer who demands programmable keys and customized functionality for various situations in gaming. The SideWinder X6 Keyboard will also be available this September for $79.Xbox 360 aside, the only gaming peripheral the company produced for as long as I can remember was the Habu mouse – and that was just a re-branded Razer. Users can save up to three profiles per game for multiple people or for specialized class play. For example, when you launch Team Fortress 2, the keyboard will automatically detect the game application and switch profiles accordingly. You can also create custom profiles for games. The X6 can support up to three profile modes, with 30 customizable keys for each mode. The board also has a new "cruise control" feature that lets you program buttons for the keyboard to hold down for you (we didn't have the heart to tell them what numlock does in World of Warcraft).

Other hardware upgrades include large knobs for backlight and volume controls and a quick-launch button for the Windows Games Explorer. Moving the pad back and forth also has the potential to provide hours of amusement because it snaps into place with the magical power of magnets. It functions as a mild-mannered numpad when sitting on the right-hand side of the keyboard, but if you move it over to the left-hand side of the board, the buttons will transform into a big macro pad for gaming. The biggest feature on the SideWinder X6 is its moveable keypad. As soon as Microsoft announced the original SideWinder Mouse, you knew that a keyboard was on its way. The gaming mouse always functions as the little harbinger for the keyboard. The SideWinder X5 Mouse will available this September for $59. The new mouse also has a blacked-out look for gamers who fear color. Gone are the LCD display, macro record button, removable weight system, and replaceable mouse feet. The X5 features the same optical internals and excellent side buttons as the original SideWinder Mouse introduced last year, but Microsoft has trimmed down on the feature set to make the X5 more affordable. Gamers looking for a no-frills gaming mouse will want to check out the SideWinder X5. We were able to get some hands-on time with the new hardware in advance during a special press briefing. Microsoft revealed a couple of new SideWinder hardware products for the PC today at the Leipzig Games Convention.
