If you understand Swedish, Sweclockers had a pretty comprehensive review of Qpad MK-85 and MK-50:

AceHigh:
Do you think I am a Dane or something? Of course I understand Swedish, SVT was part of my childhood after all.

I see that Qpad actually has multimedia keys from F1-F6 while you hold in alt button. Really useful... hah and macroes for the rest of F buttons, not that I need them. I see the guy in the video also liked MX black, but was positive to MX red.

I don't get one thing, the more expensive MK-85 only gets USB, while the stripped down cheaper MK-50 gets PS/2 and thus full NKR with it. That is weird.

buchno:
What was special about the MK-85 was that it had full NKR while still having a USB connection, he stated that pretty clearly :P

AceHigh:
Oh, missed that actually. Found a retailer in Norway and ironically the price is the same as Swedish retailers. So I save nothing if I order from webhallen for example... which was unexpected.

I got the Sidewinder x4 a while ago,  for 30 bucks (sale obviously) . It's a damn fine keyboard. Plenty of rollover,  media keys, macro keys, etc. I should mention that Microsoft's macro program is also pretty good, and it certainly doesn't seem to miss or skip anything. I just wish they had positioned the macro keys closer to the keyboard keys,  because they're really only easily reached by the pinky. Also take care with the media keys: it takes a bit of settings tinkering to get them to work with some media programs (namely my Mediamonkey).
