Good keyboard for good price

This keyboard I have for 3 years and had been almost no problems with it. It is stable, has something of that flat keys make typing very comfortable and convenient.
The media keys for play / pause Forward / Backward and volume control function optimally. Here, however, the only problem was that I could not solve to date:
If you install the bundled Microsoft driver software for programming the macro keys, media keys work (play / pause) only in Windows Media Player, not in iTunes. Since I use PRIMARILY iTunes, a great pity. If you have the driver is disabled, the macro keys do not work either. But then but the media keys in iTunes. I have now solved so that I have the drivers installed, but activate only when necessary if I need the macro keys.

Otherwise, again summarized in brief:

+ Price / performance for the money a really good keyboard
+ Writing comfort
+ You can press gleichzeitit so many buttons as possible, it will all transfer under PC does not beep when there are more than 3 keys simultaneously as is often with cheap keyboards is the case
+ 6 macro keys in 3 levels freely programmable, macro adjustment itself is, however, sometimes a bit fiddly with the driver
+ Media buttons, button for Windows Calculator
+ Generally very stable and solid, the foldout legs are very stable and keep a lot of
+ Keys lit backlight brightness adjustable (can be disabled)
+ Simple design

- Media buttons function depending on the driver installation only partially (see above)

Generally I can only recommend this keyboard for the money you can not complain really and who a keyboard with a simple design and not too much gadgetry which is the right place for the Microsoft Sidewinder X4.
