This would be a great way to see what keys are available for binding macros during play. One feature that would be nice to see in this keyboard is the ability for the backlight to be changed back to red on programmable keys once the key has a macro bound to it. The different backlighting colors make it a snap to tell what keys can be programmed, something that's important when you're trying to record a macro in game. The keyboard's main backlight color is red, and all programmable keys are backlit with an amber color. Like macros, backlighting is another popular gaming feature, and the X6's backlight scheme is unique. However, when it comes time to change the number pad around it is relatively easy to remove and can even be swapped during a game. The magnets automatically attract the number pad and snap it into place with enough force that it won’t come loose in normal use, no matter how many times you spam your favorite macro during spirited play.
The number pad is held onto the side of the X6 with surprisingly strong magnets, and what looks like an oversized USB port connects the number pad to the keyboard. For the gamers out there who like to use macros, the ability to move the number pad to the left side of the keyboard may be a dream come true. The most notable physical feature of the SideWinder X6 is definitely the number pad, which can be moved to the left or right side. If you own a SideWinder X6, please add your own thoughts in the comments section. Note that, as with all "Quick Takes" on Kit, this is not a full-blown review, but merely my initial reactions to the keyboard after using it for a bit. In this post, I'm going to take a quick look at the first all-Microsoft gaming keyboard, called the SideWinder X6. Microsoft's first gaming keyboard was the Reclusa, and it was really a Razer keyboard with Microsoft branding.
