(Can't beat those missle rocket launch thumb buttons either). But if you turn off this option it moves quite accurately.It is also lighter than most mice, so if you want a heavier one, you probably won't be satisfied with this one.Other than that, this mouse is great. I've been using this mouse for a couple weeks now and it is quite comfortable.The only real issue I had with this mouse was when the "Enhance pointer precision" option was on. If I moved the mouse real slow to the bottom right it wouldn't really move at all.
very pleased. I thought the Sidewinder X5 mouse was an excellent buy. A little big.I would like it if it had more macro buttons, but a very good gaming mouse (warcraft) for the price.
The only bad thing i can say about this mouse is the scroll wheel click, its not as easily pressed as my previous mouses but its still a terrific mouse 5 * The dpi buttons are great for games. This mouse was at a great price. It is very comfortable for my hand, i love where mouse 3 and 4 are located.
I recommend it to anybody who doesn't have small hands. Overall this mouse is beastly once you get used to its size (took me almost 2 weeks to get comfortable with it). So i bought this mouse and received it pretty soon afterwards. It's a great mouse with buttons to change sensitivity on the fly and 2 buttons at the side that are convenient but feel a little weird.
When you grip it, your thumb naturally lies on the two vertical buttons in the left side. In addition, the X5 is the most responsive mouse I have ever used. The material used to build a mouse is just OK. These buttons pop out more than the thumb buttons you can find on different mice.
I am not a avid gamer, so this brief review would be one from a non-gamer's perspective.From the first look, I thought that this mouse looks the best if it sits on Batman's desk. Once you get used to it, you can switch it very fast. Microsoft says the left and right (main) buttons last for 10 million clicks, so the FPS game lovers do not need to worry too much about the longevity of buttons. I have a good feeling to slide the mouse in any direction. That is why I am using a Logitech MX Revolution as my first choice.
If you actually grip it, you would immediately recognize that the mouse was not made of the best plastic material you can get. I do not play games often, however, this feature really helps me to do my everyday work. It really has a Batman look, and I would not be surprised if I see this mouse in the next Batman movie. When it comes to mice, I have always been picky.
These buttons are programmable, so you can assign any action you like for your favorite games.At first time, I was wondering what the real benefit of 3 buttons in line on the top of the mouse for a on-the-fly dpi switching. I use two big LCD monitors side by side (dual display) and can use on-the-fly dpi switching to move between two monitors very fast. There are 5 plastic feet attached at the bottom of the mouse (most of my mice have 4 feet) and those are very smooth. By pressing each button, you can change the sensitivity of the mouse action from 200 to 2,000 dpi. I would not replace my MX Revolution with the X5, however, I would recommend the X5 for anyone looking for a good gaming mouse at a reasonable price.
Since I touch the mouse more time than any other computer peripherals, I have chosen the best mouse available on the market if I can. I have been using many different kinds of mice, however, I have never used a gaming mouse. As a matter of fact, I tried to click the buttons as crazy as possible and it seem like the buttons were durable (of course I can hardly reach to even 100,000 clicks). However, I think it will fit most gamers nicely. And I change the sensitivity at any time using different applications without opening any setup windows to change the parameters.
The problem is that while you are using this mouse for normal usage, you might press it by mistake. This mouse focuses mainly on fast actions, durability and several programmable buttons that I think are most important for a gaming mouse. I know that the X5 offers macros to do multiple jobs in a single click; however, I did not try it.I know that this is not a gaming mouse with lots of bells and whistles such as a Logitech G9 or a Microsoft SideWinder X8. for gaming), you can recognize the buttons easily and press it faster.
The quick launch button that brings up the games built in Windows would be useful for the people enjoying solitaire and mine sweeper on a daily basis. I happened to have a chance to own a Microsoft SideWinder X5 mouse and would like to share the experience. For the gamers who need faster actions than others, they would definitely love this.Most buttons on the X5 are a little bit too clicky for me. As a matter of fact, I did it several times.
And the red lights coming out from two places in the bottom look pretty cool. However, if you need to consistently use it (ex.
