Microsoft SideWinder Gaming Mouse

Microsoft SideWinder Gaming Mouse

Microsoft announced its new SideWinder mouse to much fanfare. People were impressed by the feature set, with the decent 2000 DPI maximum sensitivity, on-the-fly DPI switching and extensive macro recording.

Unusual buttons arrangements such as the vertically aligned thumb buttons also drew some attention, giving the SideWinder a distinct and unique look.The SideWinder is the first of its kind to feature a built-in LCD used to display current dpi settings and macro recording icons.


It has a 2000 dpi laser eye, a trio of dedicated buttons for dpi switching, and even the capability to record macros in the included software or during a game. In total, the SideWinder has ten buttons, five of which are programmable.
