4 out of 5 eggs Macro Keys are Worthless 12/19/2013

This review is from: Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Keyboard - Retail

Pros:

Nice feeling and looking keyboard, I like the back lighting and bottom grip texture.
Media controls and keyboard profiles are great.

Cons:

The sound buttons were a little broken at first, I had to unplug my board and plug it back in after every start up for them to work. Eventually that worked itself out, not sure how.
The macro keys are easy to program but painfully slow to execute. Several seconds pause between each key stroke, which makes it useless for quickly doing a laborious task that requires repetition of the same keys. The main reason I wanted macro keys.

Overall Review:

I like it but the macros are only useful if you are into MMO's and maybe not even then.
