Microsoft SideWinder keyboard (may) have arrived

Frankly, we wondered what took the peripheral world so long to figure out the usefulness of this feature. With a simple flick, the keyboard's profile can be significantly reduced when real estate is scarce. Moreover, gamers who love to map numeric keys will now be able to hit those buttons without having to release the mouse. For fast-paced shooters and even real-time strategy games, this could be the difference between roaring in victory, or whimpering in defeat.
According to Engadget, the SideWinder X6 will retail for US$80 in September assuming, of course, this is not just another rumor.
