How can I use a left-hand gaming keypad like SideQuest if I am right-handed?
One of the biggest misconceptions about left-hand keypads is thinking they won’t work for a right-handed user. That’s not true, because right-handed gamers are already using their left hands to control their keyboards. Therefore, keypads have the flexibility to be mixed and matched. It all depends on play style and preference. The nice thing about left-hand gaming keypads is the versatility to add them as an extension to a keyboard. This allows users to position their keypad on the opposite side of their mouse. The benefit is having the ability to stay centered without awkwardly repositioning their main keyboard.
What is the printed circuit board (PCB) made of?
The PCB is made of a flexible material to accommodate the patent-pending curved keypad design. The keys are hot-swappable through the use of high-end Mill-Max receptacles which are part of the PCB assembly.
What material is SideQuest created with?
The shell of the keyboard is black polycarbonate, with possible future color choices. The Keys are translucent white polycarbonate. The palm rest and joystick cap are TPE (thermo-plastic elastomer) for grip.
Will SideQuest ship internationally?
International shipping will be available after the first round of gaming keypads (85 total) are sold. The first round will only be available for purchase in the United States.
What type of full-motion analog joystick is paired with SideQuest?
The joystick is a THB001P. In the future, there may be plans to design our own joystick that uses magnets instead of potentiometers.
How much will SideQuest cost?
SideQuest will sell for $289.00.
How was SideQuest developed?
SideQuest was created with user feedback in mind. Prototypes were distributed to testers in the United States and the United Kingdom to generate ideas for areas of improvement. We encouraged testers to express their opinions so we could create something gamers truly want.
Here are a couple of YouTube reviews from the days of prototype testing:
