Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Keyboard & Sidewinder Mouse

[Twitch22]

Hello everyone.

I've been looking to replace my tired, old Dell-branded media keyboard and have been reading a lot of good reviews concerning Microsoft's new SideWinder Gaming peripherals. They look great, are built well and the performance is top-notch.

So, I started shopping around for the SideWinder X6 Keyboard. This bad boy retails for $79.95. I was going to buy it from my usual source (Newegg), but today at my local Best Buy, I saw that they had it on sale for $69.95...same price Newegg is currently offering it for!

While I was there, I decided to look at the SideWinder Mouse. Lo and Behold, it was on sale as well for $64.95! Again, same price as Newegg. I really didn't need it, my Logitech MX-518 was doing just fine. But I couldn't pass up the deal. Now, I'm rolling with some seriously good, high-quality gaming gear!

Yeah, the Sidewinder line is on the pricey side, but it's in-line with similar offerings from Razer, Logitech, etc. If there is one thing Microsoft can do is build high-quality, dependable keyboards and mice. Plus, the software and drivers are super stable and the customization is excellent!

If you're a Reward Zone member and have a rebate coupon or two, this combo is suddenly a very good deal! I have no idea if the prices are perminant or for a limited time. Just noticed that both items had "Now On Sale" tags next to them...check it out if you've been looking to replace your input devices!

I like my SideWinder. The thing is huge, though; I wouldn't recommend it to those with small hands. I've been using my G9 the most lately, though...I just can't get away from Logitech mice.

Actually you can't use Live cashback with any of Buy.com's items on eBay because they don't use the required checkout system. Sucks because they often had the lowest BIN price on items I was searching for.

I can confirm this. Buy.com uses a third-party checkout and is ineligible for Live CB
