Microsoft SideWinder Mouse Review

Although the Microsoft SideWinder Mouse has a look that is, shall we say - different, it still performs with the best, and shows that Microsoft does in fact take gamers quite seriously.
Snip:
"We’ll admit it: When we first saw pictures of the new SideWinder mouse from Microsoft, we laughed. Are they serious? With its weird silver buttons sticking out and funky v-shaped body, we thought it looked odd and way too bizarre to be any good. As it turns out we were wrong, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
The SideWinder’s shape is certainly unique. Its shell is rounded for comfort with a V-shape where it meets the palm, and there’s an indentation for your thumb. The most unique feature is the “forward” and “back” buttons, which stick out from the side and are made of metal.
One feature that is new to mice is the LCD display that shows what the switchable DPI is set to, and it has a red backlight to make it visible at all times. For example, if you set it to 800, you’ll see a little “800” on the LCD. There are also red LED “ground effects” at the back of the mouse - for lack of a better word."
