Microsoft Sidewinder Keyboard

[DeanG]

I picked up a Microsoft keyboard I hadn't seen before at Plover Goodwill tonight ($2, after color discount.)
Microsoft Sidewinder X6

I did notice it didn't have a numpad, but I learned at home it has a detachable one. Wonder if there's one floating around Plover Goodwill
I'm not in a hurry, that may be a fun find someday.

Microsoft listed it 2006, I figured it older, but seems before the mechanical keyboard popularity. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-peripheral-mouse-keyboard,2467-4.html Here it is, showing it has seen a lot of gaming, next to a Logitech G413 mechanical (Target clearance) and Logitech G9X Laser Mouse (garage sale--I got a bit too aggressive cleaning it :}) https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Logitech_G9x_Laser_Mouse


What game do you think ate up the C, N and M keys, along with Shift right?

Very cool! The row of "S" keys on the side are kinda neat- I suppose those are there for keybind purposes.

As for the game, the only big MMO game I could find that used all of those keys in a default configuration was Counter Strike: Global Offensive, though I'll admit the wear on some of the keys versus others leaves me with some doubts on that one. Could be any number of things depending on what the keybinds were set to, but "C" is often used for camera controls (looking behind you in FPS games), "M" is often used for opening maps. I'd wager it was probably an FPS, but that's just my thinking on it.
