I picked up an X4 for £23.99 a little while ago and I'm really happy with it...the only thing I'm not too keen on is the red backlighting, but for under £30 it's a bargain.

It's a great board

There were a couple of places selling around £25 before Christmas but £28.99 is the lowest price around now by a decent margin

It's a great keyboard for this price.

I've only had mine for a few days and I'm still finding it hard to get used to the slightly smaller keys on it than my old keyboard.

Loving the red backlight.

Pretty much what I was going to post. Great keyboard if you can get used to the smaller key spacing. I couldn't so I replaced it but if you can get used to it this is a bargain.

Bought one, sent it back and returned to my trusty £10 something-or-other

Its nice enough but as with a mouse it will depend how comfortable it is when you use it.
I found the keys were to low profile and the macro keys on the left were in the way of where I rested my hand.

All in all great for the money if it suits you
