Most Comfortable mouse in the World - But ..
I own a lot of Mice, but this thing is just worlds apart when it comes to comfort. Due to the shape of this mouse when you grip it it's like the mouse is your hands soul-mate, like it was meant to be, supreme comfort.
However, This mouse has issues both hardware and software. The build quality seems good, but the buttons wear out extremely quickly. The worst issue is that you cannot use newer Logitech drivers as it causes the mouse to bug out which can result in very abnormal keyboard and mouse activity.
In my experience, the mouse would either foul up inputs for the keyboard where your keyboard will just spam nonsense by itself or the mouse would remap itself to some weird scheme- in both these states your PC is mostly unusable.
It's a terrible shame too because I love using this mouse when it works. Sadly, mine only lasted 6 or 7 months and the buttons fouled up and I became tired of the technical issues described above.

Best keyboard in Existence!
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought one of these when they first came. Since then I've bought many fancy top-end mechanical and membrane keyboards- all of which fell epicly short of expectations and weren't even close to offering the reliability, the comfort, ergonomics and ease of use as the X6 Sidewinder.
The X6 is the best gaming and general use keyboard I've ever used.
Keys are responsive and Low-profile and have a beautiful action to them. The Wrist rest is just divine, perfect size and shape. Volume wheel is in a perfect position allowing the user to intuitively adjust volume on the fly. Do not underestimate the convenience of a Volume wheel, they are hands down the best volume control method and the positioning of it on the X6 couldn't be better they absolutely nailed it.
Reliability: I used and abused my first X6 for over 8 years. I've dropped probably close to a kilo of cigarette ash into the keys, I've dropped huge amounts of rolling tobacco in there too, I've spilled softdrinks in there, beer, food ... you name it, the keyboard has endured it. I've literally washed it under the tap with soapy water many times. I've banged my fists down on it when suffering from gamer's rage. This thing is indestructible!
Even more surprising is the fact my original X6 is still perfectly useable. The only reason I bought another is because maybe 5-10 years down the track it might be worn out and I wouldn't be able to source another. That and this Keyboard is so special, I love that I have one for each PC.
Cost: $120usd is not cheap, And some might say it's a rip-off, but trust me, there are no other keyboards like this. Keyboards like this are in a lot of ways like old-school executive office chairs- You know the ones that had many more functions, features and comfort than any modern chair has today ? That's what the X6 is, it's a work of art and genius. Sure when the X6 came out it was only $40-50- Now if modern keyboards today didn't suck so much I would say the price is too high, but the reality is the X6 easily outshines and outplays any modern Keyboard available today- That is how a $120 price tag is justified and well worth it in my opinion.
If you're after a very comfortable and extremely practical gaming keyboard without the useless fluff of modern keyboards, then the X6 is made for you. At the moment I type this on my glistening new X6 I'm thinking of buying a 3rd.
