Microsoft SideWinder X4
$60.00
Released March, 2010
The Pros:High speed key scanning - in turn leads to low latency between your fingers and the on screen reaction. Variable brightness backlight. Affordable price considering its complicated multi-touch / anti-ghosting technology.
The Cons:Inflates the importance of multi-touch - really not an issue for the vast majority of people. Windows only. Loses the much more luxurious volume and backlight knobs of the older X6.
