Logitech G110 or Microsoft sidewinder x4???

Which one of these keyboards should I get? If not one of these I have a budget of £35 for a gaming keyboard.


Thanks

I would go with the Logitech G110 it seems to have more features. An additional usb port and headphones jack add better functionality.
Both have macro and programable keys , but I think the Logitech has a bit more.

I've being looking at comparisons and the x4 seems to be more favoured...

The Logitech G110 does have some nice features, and I use one, but the G110 can have troubles with some motherboards.

Personally, I think the most important feature of a gaming keyboard is the ability to correctly report all the keys that were hit. On the order of 5% of three-key combinations (i.e. pushed simultaneously) do not report correctly on typical keyboards. The Sidewinder X4 doesn't suffer from this problem.
