Sidewinder mouse = bad

by diablos010 on Jun 17th, 2008 at 4:05 PM:

Very uncomfortable mouse, only positive thing about this mouse is the 2 side buttons which was a nice change. Other then that, yes very uncomfortable, ALL BUTTONS ARE NOT CUSTOMIZABLE, only 5 are, thats right, only 5, so forget all those nice extra buttons a cheaper, more comfortable, more custimizable Logitech MX518 could give you. 2/10 which I dont fully believe it even deserves that much gratitude. Do not buy this mouse.

Sidewinder

When I first saw the mouse, I said "what the" to myself, simply because the shape of the mouse really looked like a damn Quake2 rail gun with titanium pistons sticking' out of the sides.

Now, one week later, I have to say that I really enjoy the unique shape, and I actually find it quite attractive.



As for performance, I have nothing to complain about. It's responsive, many buttons to customize and a comfortable grip. The DPI-on-the-fly settings though seems, for me, quite overkill, as I'm not a frequent FPS player, but I believe many people will enjoy this feature, even if the concept of DPI switching isn't new.



I do find the macro feature quite questionable. Cheats? Will people have to fear to get banned from major gaming tournaments such as WCG, OSL, and StarLeage when using this "cheat hardware"?

I guess time will tell.



Overall, I find this mouse to be a great investment. Don't get scared of the Battle Tank appearance, it's not as bad as the pictures might tell you.



Microsoft Sidewinder is Awesome

Hi I bought the sidewinder mouse buy Microsoft it's an awesome mouse seems' to please me because I have big hands it's comfortable and the LCD display is awesome it has three awesome buttons to change your DPI speed instantly which is a good key factor in and gaming mouse it performs' awesome and in my rating I would tell anybody who doesn't have on get one you would be a fool not to. Give this mouse the hands down compared it to the g9 Logitech which is good but the design let's this mouse down plus it's feel and the look it's to small but I have compared them both the sidewinder is the Winner here... i hope you all get one if your true Gamers you will get better performance from this mouse from any other Cheer's Adam.
