Microsoft is launching Sidewinder X6 keyboard

Microsoft is set to extend its range of Sidwinder gaming peripherals with the addition of a new gaming keyboard called the Sidwinder X6 and if nothing else, it has a rather unique design in as much as it has a detachable numeric keypad that can be attached to either side of the keyboard.


We're not sure how useful this is, but it might come in handy for some and the same goes for the "cruise control" feature which allows you to repeat keystrokes without holding a specific key down. It also appears to have some programmable keys on the left hand side.



What appears to be a range of multimedia keys can be found at the top of the keyboard, although we're not sure what the two round things are meant to be for. The keyboard should be using a USB port to connect to your PC and it's expected to retail for US$79.95 (€50/£40) when its launching sometime in September.
