Microsoft's Sidewinder Mouse

[magneticman]

This is what happens when Microsoft decide to make a 'gaming' mouse on their own:

So many features though, including wide metal scrollwheel, First-Ever LCD Display on a Mouse, Cable Anchor + Accessories Storage Box, Quick Launch Button;

aaand, you can replace mousefeet for different friction settings, metal side buttons, and weights (like logitech)

but it looks fugly and a terrible colourscheme, what was wrong with the IE 3.0 or the Habu?

MS =

*i've just seen the logitech g9, it's like the race to make the most ugliest, uncomfortable looking mouses!

iiii dunno..i kinda like it lol..but whats sticking out of the side :s

the G9 is pretty horrific looking though.

Yeah me too. But They should put mini radio control car like steering wheel on it. Then it's perfect for me

I like the Red/Black colour scheme, and tbh the mouse looks pretty darn good.

I agree though the Microsoft one looks alot better than the G9 although the G9 isn't that bad.
But think about it, do you buy a mouse for looks? I perfer functionality over looks.

Yeah i do think the G9 will suit a lot of people's grips.

I'm thinking about getting a Habu at the moment though. On the fly DPi switching is all I really need.
