When we last looked at Microsoft's revitalization of the Sidewinder
peripheral line, we weren't very impressed. Though the mouse was
technologically sound, it was painfully uncomfortable to use. We
weren't alone in that assessment either; sites all over the Internet
penned the Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse as a rodent. Well Microsoft has
taken another crack at the gaming mouse market, and they've scaled
things back a little bit with their latest endeavour. This latest
mouse, the SideWinder X5, is as much a slight redesign as it is an
extension of the existing product line into less expensive territory.
They shave a few pounds off the old design, which still leaves us with
one burning question. Is this new mouse still a pain to use, or does it
pass muster?
