Microsoft Hardware today announced the new SideWinder x4 Keyboard, which is designed to give gamers like you and me greater control over our gaming experience.
The SideWinder x4 keyboard is the first keyboard to use anti-ghosting technology, a technology developed by Microsoft’s Applied Sciences Group. The new Anti-Ghosting technology allows you to perform the most complex keyboard combinations. Basically it’s anti lag technology for your keyboard, giving you the ability to press up to 26 keys at once and the game you are playing will detect all 26 key clicks.
“We’re always looking for new and novel ways to enhance people’s interactions with their PCs,” said Steven Bathiche, research manager of the Applied Sciences Group at Microsoft. “We know that ghosting can be a problem for gamers, so we wanted to develop a way to eliminate this issue and improve the overall gaming experience, and we’ve succeeded with the new anti-ghosting technology in the SideWinder X4 Keyboard.”
Top Features and Benefits
• NEW! Advanced anti‐ghosting capability lets gamers press up to 26 keys
simultaneously with the computer recognizing each key.
• Mode switching allows gamers to manually toggle from standard mode to one
of two gaming modes; LEDs show the mode selected.
