I saw a Sidewinder X4 at Newegg for $30. Looks like a good deal to me.

the X6 is only a few dollars more at directron right now see their BF thread:

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
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.
The X6 doesn't have any ghosting BS. Works perfectly fine for any FPS I have played.
So the X4 has a detachable numpad, right?
This is one of the best non-mechanical gaming keyboards.
I use [shift] for crouch and never seen this issue before. For games that use it, I use [ctrl] for prone.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.
