Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming Mouse : Fast,
comfortable, precise

post from Mr.Gadget Australia on 08 December 2007 05:02:00 PM. © Mr.Gadget Australia

Looks like Microsoft Mouse labs are heating up with some hot gaming gadgets! The Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse looks like a serious attempt by Microsoft to get some gamer dollars and they've done a decent job.

Like the serious Logitech gaming mice, the Sidewinder also features adjustable mouse weights so you can add and remove so that it feels just right. The extra wide scroll wheel also looks like it could come in handy particularly in zooming in and out (dependent on what game). Apparently it's also the first mouse with and LCD display that shows DPI settings - never really paid much attention to this in the past but I guess with trigger / feather-touch games it's an important factor?

Features of the Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse:

- Shape Designed for Handling
The unique shape and button positions are engineered for fast, comfortable, precise gaming action.

- On-the-Fly DPI Switching
Three buttons instantly switch between DPI 400, 800, and 2000 - or you can customize settings using special software.

- First-Ever LCD Display on a Mouse
DPI settings and macro recording icons are displayed on the mouse to reduce on-screen interference.

- Cable Anchor + Accessories Storage Box Enjoy wired performance with the feel of wireless, easily adjust your cable configuration, and conveniently stow away your accessories.

- Quick Launch Button One-touch takes you to Games Explorer in Windows Vista. Easily access your games on your PC.

- 5 Programmable Main Buttons Customize your main gaming buttons to your preference.

- Advanced Gaming Software Buttons and switches can be assigned on the fly, you can program macros and profiles, and game settings can be customized for fast action.

- Engineered for Speed - RESOLUTION: 2000 dpi
- IMAGE PROCESSING: 7080 frames per second
- MAX ACCELERATION: 20 G
- MAX SPEED: 45 inches per second
- USB REPORTING: 500 Hz
- GLIDE: 3 sets of different mouse feet (for glide preference)
- BUTTONS (Left/Right): 9 million clicks

- Replaceable Mouse Feet Choice of three different materials for glide preference.

- Wide Metal Scroll Wheel Better feel and response with detent clicking action.

- Vertical Metal Side Buttons The top/bottom design makes locating the side buttons easier and reduces the inadvertent actuation risk.

- Adjustable Mouse Weights Select your preference of mouse weight with the included 4 weights, giving you the choice to adjust your mouse weight anywhere between 5 and 30 grams in 5 gram increments.
