So just got the new ms sidewinder x4 in the mail today and the fucking media keys do jack shit, I made sure itunes is my default player about 1241 times. and if you're in game and you press the "play" key it alt tabs your ass out of the game and tries to play something on itunes. (it pulls itunes up but does nothing)
I dont remember having a problem with media keys on any other keyboard.
Another quality product from Microsoft?
p.s. halp?
