Microsoft mouse for gamers

In the gaming controller market, Microsoft used to give its latest input device a nice-sounding brand name.

A few years ago, the Redmond giant was represented in the market with a number of game controllers, including simple and professional joysticks, gamepads, and even a power-feedback steering wheel marketed under the name SideWinder. They thought of Microsoft and took out the well-known brand name again in the form of a mouse for gamers.

The SideWinder mouse a presented with Habu last summer in contrast, it is a completely in-house development that stands out from the dense field of input devices with a number of novelties and unusual solutions.

Its laser optical reader can be adjusted in three levels: accordingly, we can talk about 400, 800 or even 2000 DPI, which is lower than the Logitech G9 3200, but let's face it, for most players this is also enough. You can toggle between gears with the buttons behind the metal wheel, and the LCD on the left side of the mouse informs you of the current value.

For the SideWinder mouse, equipped with five programmable buttons, Microsoft has determined the life of the left and right buttons to be 9 million clicks. We have to wait for the distribution until October, the price will be $ 79,95, which is about 14 forints.
