This Sidewinder X4 was purchased for a customers new gaming PC build.
A quality backlit keyboard, for use mainly in RPG and RTS gaming, with a bit of FPS mixed in, was needed. Rubber dome for quieter operation.
I choose the Sidewinder X4 for his build based on the fact it was one of the few keyboards under $50 that I have used and liked.
Being a gamer and tech, I tend to be at my PC a lot, and thus my keyboards are under near constant use. So I almost always only buy high-end boards, and I switched to mechanical a while back.
The X4 is one of the few lower cost rubber dome boards that seems to be able to live up to my demanding expectations, so I figured it would be perfect for his first gaming PC build. He is very happy with it.
None.
The board is working fantastically, and based on the customers feedback I would easily recommend the Sidewinder X4 to anyone looking for a quality, yet inexpensive, rubber dome keyboard for both gaming and general use.
