Reviews of the Microsoft SideWinder X8 Mouse
-
CNET Review
The Good: Hybrid wired/wireless design eliminates downtime between battery charges; BlueTrack sensor expands mousing surface options; easy on-the-fly macro recording; 4,000dpi maximum.
The Bad: Scroll wheel needs a better grip; signal drop-off in wireless mode at high sensitivity.
The Bottom Line: Microsoft's SideWinder X8 isn't the only mouse that can swap seamlessly between wired and wireless modes; however, between its BlueTrack sensor and its on-the-fly macro recording capability--not to mention a competitive price--we imagine few PC gamers won't want to get their hands on it.
