Engadget: New Microsoft Sidewinder Coming Soon?

Have a look at this news from over on Engadget. It appears as though we're about to get another contender in the world of gaming keyboards, and from Redmond to boot.


Quote:
Say, is this a Microsoft SideWinder-branded keyboard? Looks like it might just be. It looks like it'll go by the name of SideWinder X6, and feature a detachable numeric keypad, programmable keys, and "cruise control" (don't quote us, this is from a translation) which emulates a steady keypress. It'll run $80 in September -- that is, if this doesn't just turn out to be pure rumor.
This comes from another website that you'll need to be bi-lingual to read for yourself, but follow the Engadget link if you're feeling frisky.

The keyboard looks pretty cool really. I like the detachable number pad like the Logitech has.
