Sidewinder X4 $30 shipped Newegg

I've heard of the strong magnet on the X6 causing problems, and the X6 doesn't have adjustable height. The X4, despite the lower model number, is the superior keyboard.

PS - I bit.
 
The detachable tenkey is a nice plus but the x4 doesn't have the ghosting issues of the x6. I can only think of a couple of combinations that actually effected my in game on the x6 though.

i never had any ghosting issues in game, i only ran into them while typing like in e-mails or for chat

for those that get taxed by new egg, it is the same price on amazon

between the two of those stores, nobody should be paying any sales tax :D

Amazon taxes certain places, and they have slower shipping, though I cant argue that they're up there (if not better) with newegg in terms of customer support.

Newegg charges the appropriate state and/or local sales tax for any order shipping to California, New Jersey, and Tennessee.

Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the states of Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, or Washington are subject to tax.

if you get taxed at one, just buy from the other - there's no state that gets taxed by both.

That's a given.

My point is, $3 for UPS 3 day select over Amazon's 5-8 day shipping (+ slow processing time since they need to pile up the orders) is worth it to me.
 
The X6 doesn't have any ghosting BS. Works perfectly fine for any FPS I have played.

Really? Try and crouch(ctrl), move forward or backward (W or S) and reload (R). It won't work. In Serious Sam HD you can't circle strife (W or S and A or D) and select the rocket launcher (5). That one pissed me off a few times. There may be more but those are the only two that I ran into. Nothing that made me want to stop using the keyboard but still annoying.
 
+1 for me as well. My old Logitech keyboard is dirty & old. Scored an X4 from NewEgg. Thanks for posting!
 
So the X4 has a detachable numpad, right?

This is one of the best non-mechanical gaming keyboards.

No, no detachable number pad on the X4. That's a feature on the X6, which evidently failed hence why it wasn't carried onto the X4 which is superior in every other way.

I use [shift] for crouch and never seen this issue before. For games that use it, I use [ctrl] for prone.

When using [shift] for crouch I have no issue. When using [ctrl] for crouch I do have an issue.

So for me this is a non issue. For someone like you, unfortunately it is :/
