A wonderfully sexy keyboard


I treated myself to a Microsoft Sidewinder X4 gaming keyboard as a belated birthday present. I knew it was going to be different as soon as I started opening the packaging. What emerged was a slim, but weighty keyboard which just sticks to my desktop.

The keys are glossy with white lettering until when you plug it in and then a warm orange glow comes through each key. As a two fingered typist this makes it very easy to see the keys as you type. Also the keys are low profile with a smooth, full travel.

Other functions such as the media keys and the macro keys are useful and work well. It also has a calculator key which I believe is almost essential to any keyboard.

So don't wait, just treat yourself.
