The Microsoft Sidewinder X6

The Microsoft Sidewinder X6

Techtree News Staff, Jul 21, 2008 1915 hrs IST

The grapevine has it that Microsoft is readying a Sidewinder-branded keyboard this September.

According to Engadget, Microsoft is readying a Sidewinder-branded keyboard this September. Likely to be christened the Sidewinder X6, the keyboard sports a detachable numeric keypad, programmable keys and also something known as "cruise control" - which emulates a steady keypress.


As for the detachable numeric keypad, it can be attached either to the right or the left of the keyboard. What interests us, though, are the two knobs that are visible in the pictures. Well, we can only speculate until official word comes down from Redmond.

They do make ubercool Sidewinder-branded mice, though. Like this one - complete with an LCD display (on a mouse!), 5 programmable main buttons, on-the-fly DPI switching and advanced gaming software.

Watch this space for more information on the Sidewinder X6.
