Logitech is great , and so is their after sales. So go with it if you are not heavily in customization and macros. If you are in to then get the Stealth.The stealth has ofcourse better build.

Hehe I knew somebody would come up with the ghosting problem. I have the Sidewinder keyboard too but its not suitable for gaming. I can make do with it because I am not a serious gamer and hardly play fps.
On the plus side, it has killer professional looks with sexy red backlit keys which look awesome in a dark room. That's what attracted me to the Sidewinder. Most gaming keyboards look like fancy toys.

That's why I suggested the Sidewinder X4, amazing keyboard at amazing price, but the pathetic microsoft distributor in India stopped importing it
it was a beauty

What the.....every device ,peripheral built can have manufacturing issues that dosnt mean that all the devices built are bad. There are scores of reviews and users who praise the X6 and many who had issues with it too. Its normal. And I explained the ghosting issue is inherent with membrane keyboards. Google and read. You will come out clear on that.

Yes X4 should be cheaper.

Its not a manufacturing issue with a few unit, its a hardware bug, and yes, while I can't press a dozen keys on a USB keyboard, but all gaming keyboards apply special anti ghosting methods, around wasd clusters, the ctrl buttons, space etc, the X6 has the issue if you press left ctrl it locks up the r key, so no reload while crouching, that's the death scenario in most shooters.
And in the last page. even a gawd damn X6 owner said that X6 is useless for gaming, what more proof do you want? Do you own the X6?
Logically X4 is cheaper, but you see, it has terrible ghosting issues and most people avoid it, they go for X4, so the demand is high for X4, hence overpriced, and the X6 is no longer sold, even if you could snag a unit its a stock clearance sell, hence the cheap price.

Microsoft India has stopped importing both(X4 and X6), you have to look locally for old units, but best to avoid it as you'll have isue with warranty.

They are very trustworthy. You can safely place an order and do a bank transfer.
