Very good tracking technology, nice thumb side controls, fantastic looks, exchangeable slide feet, excellent supplies, nice charging system, replaceable rechargeable battery Even although it tracks properly, the wireless distance has to be minimal (less than 1 meter = three feet) since of wireless stutter - wireless feature is almost useless mainly because of this. It need to be 30 range like the low models... add a second battery for transmission power, or use 5Gz, not the overused two.4GZ... interferes with neighbors' wireless routers... and so on..Waste of ๛ .... except for the looks Require to wait for greater technology, such as greater wireless connection... I like gaming on my 52 inch Tv.... I consider you are greater off with a less costly blue track 30' wireless mouse such as Microsoft wireless mouse 5000 - which by the way I just ordered... will see how it compares (wireless range on that 1 is 33 feet - on the Sidewinder X8 is not pointed out...since it is wimpy)

This is an outstanding mouse, most precise gaming mouse available, period, at 4000 dpi, thanks to Microsoft's new BlueTrack laser tech. As far as the middle mouse click concern some have talked about here, the dilemma lies not in the mouse but in several wireless input devices conflicting with each and every other, most commonly the normal ergo wireless keyboard, but also conflicts with other individuals. I wouldn't advocate using this mouse with one more 2.4ghz input device, appears a small superfluous for a keyboard anyways, but this isn't truly a con, there is only so many frequencies accessible, and some are inevitably going to conflict. This is especially a gaming mouse. This mouse has ALOT much more features then any casual Computer user would ever want, so unless this mouse is for your gaming rig, I would go for something simpler and less costly. If your a gamer like me, and will need ALL the precision and capabilities you can get, GET THIS MOUSE :D I was initially discouraged from getting this mouse since of it becoming wireless, dead battery is NOT an alternative in the middle of a firefight, but the charger clips ideal into the front and you can jump proper back in, wired style, without having missing a beat, why couldn't they believed of this just before :D

Overall Excellent Mouse. I like the detents when utilizing the scroll wheel. More affordable and better substitute to the logitech mouses. Enjoy the added buttons for PTT None so far

Side buttons aren't the typical front and back, when they are within reach of your thumb in a single motion, its a severe benefit in what ever game your in, It is "The Best" Hands down gaming mouse I have ever owned or Want to personal, If you like to play FPS's This mouse is a Have to own, the Bluetrack Technologies allows this mouse to perform at Major capability on ANY surface! Customizable Mouse, What you want to crucial in the software, Performs! 3, three! adjustable DPi Scaling buttons, Higher for Pray and Spray, Medium for Tight Covert Operations, and Low for optimum Sniping experiences, I Strongly Advise this Mouse. Its not Totally free and an employee of Microsoft doesn't arrive at your door to handshake you on a amazing acquire.

Great mouse. Fantastic precision, no lag, nice charger setup, feels good in hand, Good!! battery life, go for days with gaming (up to a week usually of 3-six hours per day) till needing a charge. Battery is a rechargeable double A, so if it ever stops holding a charge, simply drop 5 bucks at your community store to get a new one particular and toss it in :D None for me Works fantastic on my razer eXactMat aluminum mouse pad!

This factor is quickly, has remapable buttons, you can charge it although you use it, on the fly macro creation and its not so little that it gives you cramps or feels like your holding a toy.This factor is my new favored mouse for gaming! The thumb buttons are a single internal piece. It makes it challenging to bind some issues. I bind Ctrl Alt or Shift to them and to get both keys down for Ctrl+Alt or Shift you will require to press additional hard and it will give cramps if you do it for prolonged periods of time. Could use a lot more buttons or let you remap the couple of static buttons on it. In some areas with lots of Wireless devices these often get interference that can cause them to lag. Fortunately for me I don't have this dilemma at property. General a decent mouse. Mine battery latterly blew up in my mouse and Microsoft help sucks.

This mouse is sweet i like the on the fly dpi adjust buttons. can switch it from high whilst playing games then turn it proper back down for online use. undoubtedly made for bigger hands so this is good. can use it all the way on the other side of my room accurately. none Microsoft certainly did a good job on this mouse attractive, wireless, and up to 4000 dpi. would suggest this to everyone who has slightly greater hands and likes to have their entire hand on their mouse.

Comment:
Smooth, nice really feel. Record macro key can not be locked out. Accidently bumping this & not noticing can lead to the "mouse moving & acting by itself" syndrome.Left main button has become sticky.

Comment:
Can't truly feel of any. It's a mouse and it permits you to move the cursor on your screen and click on factors. Beyond that, nothing. I would have believed micrsoft could do much better than this--especially at the cost they're finding. I guess the designers believed shape would be "cool" but it's as well extended and doesn't fit the hand nicely at all. It's also as well flat, particularly in relation as well its length and forces you to stretch your fingers out to rest on the buttons rather than having them in their natural, slightly curved position. And the resolution LCD on the mouse is prety silly as there are only three settings, none of which are optimum. The higheat is as well fas and the other to are way also slow. Just not enough resolution in setting the cursor speed. The other buttons are odd and poorly placed. Tracks OK but any half-way decent mouse can do that and for a lot less cash. I dunno, you could like this mouse but I undoubtedly can't advise it. I generally go back to my microsoft pure laser 6000. Ideal mouse I" ever utilized, ergonomically and in each and every other respect, except its wireless range is a bit short.

Comment:
Adore the magnetic wireless adapter. Tracking on the mouse is very good. Can replace with a diverse rechargeable battery for these of you who are gamers. feels a bit flimsy compare to some of logitech gaming mouse.

Good DPI, DPI on the fly is great, scroll wheel is fantastic, haven't had any sideways scrolling difficulties. After a while, likely immediately after 1-two months, the left click button started to not work when i clicked from time to time. Then it became a lot more persistent, and now only clicks a little far more than half the time. The scroll wheel clicker thingy broke, and now scrolls smoothly, with no click sound or anything. I payed ๠ for this mouse considering it would operate much better than my 10 year old mouse that was much less than ฤ, I was wrong, now I will be sending this mouse back to microsoft to get my refund, not positive if I will be obtaining a replacement at ฤ much less, that is the only reason I would get this mouse once again, the discounted price.

Fantastic mouse to game with. Tried a few this is so far the most comfortable. Every thing required to play in game that I want on mouse is effortlessly set up. The useless game launch button, can't set it to open game you want but that only lows me down by a click on the icon...1럼th of a second? Had a couple of troubles with in game would start shooting and moving by itself, solved this by just going to mouse alternatives (intelipoint) and turning of the "enable system-precise settings" (macro?) and everything performs fine, can still go to choices in game and change those settings so all is fine. Shipment from newegg was best. Order Thur. got it Mon.

Fantastic size, great options for programming individual buttons, macro editor is amazing. Quite smooth mouse motion, battery life and response are great DPI buttons could be in a far better position to switch on the fly much easier. DPI settings are 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000. 2500 and 3500 are left out. LCD screen doesn't consistently or periodically display the DPI, displays for only 10 seconds right after switching DPI. Macro record button could be in an much easier to reach spot for recording mid-game.

Tons of buttons, good feel, can be charged though making use of it or be wireless. None

The pads are good, as are the changable weights This mouse could have 12 physical buttons, but in practice it only has 5. Lets count up the ACTUAL buttonsLeftCorrectTop rated Thumb Bottom ThumbScroll WheelDPI Button 1DPI Button twoDPI Button threeProgramming ButtonScrolling UpScrolling DownPower ButtonSo for day to day use you only have five accurate buttons. Honestly, I felt quite deceived after I got this mouse house and began attempting to program it when I realized that most of the buttons it claimed to have can not be reassigned from their original purpose. If you're searching for a mouse with more that 5 buttons, this is not what you're seeking for.

Battery Life Charging mechanismRapid DPI switchThumb buttonsMacro buttonBluetech laser None so far Took a excellent five hours for initial battery charge but I haven't had to charge it in three days of extended gaming. Was worried about lag on a wireless mouse for gaming but I haven't noticed any at all. Bluetech is good, performs on cloth mouse pad, wooden desk, tricky ratpadz mouse pad and...my face (yes I attempted it)

Comment:
Tilt Wheel and high DPI 12 buttons is a little misleading considering only two are programmable besides the typical moust buttons. The three on the top rated are for DPI settings ONLY. The a single on the side thumb is for macro ONLY.The 2 sides buttons are programmable and the wheel click. The title in the wheel is not programmable in any game I have attempted hence far.... Arma, GTA, Counter Strike or any Valve games. So basically out side of the macro function and high dpi its no different than any other mouse. I was hoping it had much more programmable buttons... Its a decent mouse but would be nice if it had much more programmable buttons.

I've had this mouse since this time final year. It has performed Anything I've wanted and far more. I wanted a wireless mouse that I could use for gaming With no GLITCHES AND Complications. -Completed. More than the year, zero issues. Battery lasts for HOURS AND HOURS. Even superior, though, is that when you need to charge it, you can still use it! The charging cord from the get is created PERFECTLY to let you still use it. Sometimes, I forget it's plugged in due to the fact it's never ever gotten in my way. I enjoy the look and really feel of the mouse. I have quite big hands, and this mouse is a single of the larger I have found. For me, it could even be a bit bigger, but I enjoy the really feel as it is. Altering DPI and such on the fly is no concern at all. The scroll wheel is comfy and scrolls/ moves precisely how I would want it to. No complications with it not responding or anything. The thumb buttons are properly location, responsive, and functional. I use them often (every game I play except Starcraft II, generally). In all seriousness, I don't assume this mouse has far more than one con. The only factor I can consider of is that there weren't drivers on the disk that worked on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit ON THE DISC. I was able to quickly come across and download anything I required with no challenge, so no problem. I've gotten mice (for other individuals / company) far more recently that didn't even have a disc... I have loved this mouse for each single day I have had it. It functions flawlessly - Each and every time. I would think it is fair to say that the unit I received was a properly-made unit. Other people who have reported problems, in my opinion, must have RMA'd. I won't look for an additional mouse till I'm forced to, and even then, you superior believe I'll look for one more one particular of these!

This mouse tracks on almost everything I use it for. The interchangeable feet produced it a "just appropriate" feel. Weight and size are very good. On the fly DPI alter is terrific. Intelli point software was quite useful. The charging was a little weird a at 1st. I had it plugged in but it did not appear to be charging, it has not occurred once more but I will maintain an eye on it. Not seriously a con but something I observed. The autoturn does not perform for my WoW game. I did not obtain this from newegg. I got this straight from the Microsoft retailer by way of a buddy that operates there, saved a couple of buck but thought I would let everyone know I truly delight in this mouse.

I just purchased this mouse to upgrade a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2., which was obtaining a tiny lengthy in the tooth. They are the very same size and style, only the two. doesn’t have all the bells and whistles. The X8 is smooth, versatile, and really responsive. Employing this mouse on the bare desk surface is good. The initially charge went without having a hitch and utilizing the mouse with or with out the charging cord feels the very same. The mouse is comfortable and after only a handful of hours of use my hand naturally forms around the mouse. I’m not really a gamer, but I like this mouse all the same. The buttons are a handy function for other applications. I researched just before this purchase and I’m additional than content with this mouse. The hockey puck is a great function specially for the people that like gadgets. It provides you some thing else to play with and not just another accessory sitting on your desk. Just take into account it cash nicely spent when you acquire this mouse. None I've been buying pc parts from Newegg for many years. The products are alway delivered on time and even received in much less then the regular shipping time dependent on where the item originated from. I've only spoke to buyer service when to ask a query and they had been very expert. Newegg is the place to buy computer system and other associated gear.

Love the side buttons, genuinely accessible and easy to click. on the fly macro is cool as well. The principal issue that produced me deduct a star is the "on the fly charging". The charger sometimes disconnects if you move it certain strategies, so make certain its charged before you play games =P. Wish the quicklaunch button was reassignable. most useless button ever, all it does is open the games folder... its also in a location thats difficult to get to (about an inch south of the dpi buttons). Also would have loved the screen to display battery percent or anything apart from dpi, but this isnt extremely crucial.

Mouse fits my hand incredibly well, buttons have just about no travel. Very good tracking speed. The scrolling feature is incredible, the more rapidly you scroll, the a lot more actual space it scrolls. In a single fast wheel scroll you can be to the bottom of a lengthy word doc or webpage. My cellphone interferes with the mouse. Whenever I have my cell phone anyplace close to my desk, the mouse doesn't work and jumps about.The left click button stopped working for me so now i have to get a new mouse. Upgrading to a logitech G500. cant get interference with a wired mouse.

Wireless, normal AA rechargeable battery, wireless range is great (ㅂ ft), My last logitech (G7) had troubles with my surface, not with this a single.Play FPS with amazing benefits.Can charge battery though being employed, cable does not get in the way. About a month ago, middle button stopped "clicking", but wheel worked fine. Microsoft sent me a new one particular, no problems, no hassles.The lcd display is challenging for me to read. Mouse seemed bigger than my logitech G7, but I locate it comfortable. Microsoft has not apparently stopped help on this mouse.
