#Microsoft sidewinder x6 discontinued software
Now I thought maybe a software was causing the hick-up. I was testing the board in Crysis 2 first time playing the game on this board when my mouse 2 firingīutton started to ghost.

I don't want to because it's such a nice piece of hardware and, as you stated, the removable number pad is a fantastic touch, but the software lets it down so much.Ĭlick to expand.I too had some trouble trying to get the Intellitype drivers to work ( Windows 7 Ultimate 圆4). Of course, if you uninstall the drivers, you lose the macros.Īnd it's because of the drivers that I'm contemplating returning the keyboard.
After entering my password, it would get stuck at "Welcome" for a very long time (I counted to 150 seconds before I got bored and just gave up). But the part that I just couldn't tolerate was the hang up before logging into Windows. Having them installed causes serious lag on the volume knob (directly related to the repeat delay and rate), which doesn't seem so bad seeing as I have inline controls and my mouse (Roccat Kone) can control the volume too.

The Intellitype drivers are really bad for me (Windows 7 Pro 圆4). For some reason, the words "rubber" and "velvet" are the first words that come to mind when trying to describe it.Īs awesome as the hardware is, it falls apart when it comes to the software. The space bar gives a richer sound than the other keys that's strangely really satisfying. When you build up a flow, it feels really comfortable. It's taking some getting used to with the keys, but my accuracy has never been that great anyway. I just got my X6 yesterday and I've been using it all day today. I think the all around functionality of the board makes it a good gaming keyboard.Ĭlick to expand.I actually clicked on to this because of the "with USB". Specially when you came off a keyboard, like I did that the keyboard was over 5 years old, going on 6 years. I found that it takes a little getting used too.
What this means is that the keys can be pressed easier with less effort (shorter Key-strokes) and it's easier to move the fingers across one key to another key. the keys have a shorter stroke between fully upright and fully depressed. Now, as for it being good for gamers keyboard I would say 'YES'!!! In most of the reviews that I have been reading before I bought this product, they all stated about it's durability. It's holding up to my pounding of keys while I'm gaming. The keyboard it self sit's in a flat position, making for a very steady keyboard while gaming. 6 point's of gripping power on a flat surface. The keyboard it-self is very sturdy in design. The master volume of Windows is controlled by one large nob as well as the brightness of the keyboard back lighting on the other nob. Their are Audio button sets for play-back control and sound. One disappointment was the lack of USB ports with an increasing number of gaming gadgets, what'sits and thingamajigs all connecting via USB, it would have been a pretty useful inclusion, particularly for users who have a hard time accessing ports on their cases.Very cool in my book for I find my-self always using default set keys as well as own programmed key-sets while I'm gaming. It is a bit busy for our tastes, with all manner of buttons, LEDs and knobs scattered about, but the simple black colour scheme with the red backlight looks pretty smooth and we like the shape. The overall tactility was good and we found the X6 performed well for all manner of games.Īesthetically, this is one of the better keyboards on the market. The keys are a bit shorter than on a regular keyboard this makes them extra speedy, which gamers will love. The layout is perhaps slightly different to what we’re used to, but we adjusted after a little time. We found the unit quite comfortable to type on. This will take some getting used to for many users. One interesting thing about the X6’s design is the lack of legs on the base to raise it up. For games where you increase your skills via repetition this will be very handy. Media playback buttons are present, along with a nifty cruise control function that will indefinitely repeat any key until you tell it to stop. It can be turned up or down by a knob on the top right, which is also accompanied by a volume control. Doing it through the software is slightly less speedy but no less intuitive either way, the macros work smoothly and efficiently.Īnother feature of the X6 is a red backlight for all those late night frag fests. There is a macro key on the top of the unit that activates the record function and from there you can assign a key and go to town. You’ve got two options you can either record macros in-game or create them in the Intellipoint software.
