Nope, it has 2 side buttons dude - one on each side. And it's damn cheap for 2000DPI.. Actually, I dare say that holding the X3 felt better than gripping my X8..

First of all, are u a hardcore gamer?..

Typing alot and gaming alot thats 2 different things.

Imo, the 2-side buttons, one for each side its more basically 'one for right-handed' and the other button for 'left-handed' user as its a ambidextrous mouse.

X3...Dam cheap?.. thats... over-advertised liaoz.. lol.. have u seen OCZ Behemoth Laser Gaming Mouse?.. 3200dpi, adjustable weights, dual-lasers, etc and cost abt rm100 nia.

X3, good for smaller hands since Xseries has been for big hands.. or shld i say.. huge hands.. lol

Btw, its looks more like X3 a 'claw-grip' mouse rather than 'palm-grip' mouse.

Cheers

You a OCZ supporter or Microsoft Sidewinder Supporter? Besides, X3's price plus 3 years warranty is seriously a bargain.. IMHO, I'd prefer X3's design over the OCZ Behemoth's anytime..

I'm beginning to experience scratches on my X8 feet.. Need to buy a mouse surface soon..

Sidewinder X5 Mouse:

Pros
-Similar Macros with X8.
-Stealthy design.
-Lightweight.
-Side-buttons come in handy.

Cons
-Packaging could've been nicer.
-Certain bits feel plasticky.
-Size may not fit all - like the X8.


^Fresh outta the shipment.


^Behold - the X5.


^Package contents of the X5.


^Sharp edged - might cut fingers.


^DPI switches, a Sidewinder Classic.


^A top shot of the X5.

Above all, I'd stick with X8 for its functions, BUT for comfort, you guys would be surprised - I found the X3 most comfortable to use with. Maybe it's my style of gripping my tikus??

haha not only u im also my mouse feet scratch ..... like wau 0.0

Hey, I'm looking for a nice mouse pad - so far got the Razer Destructor and the Barracuda Juggernaut in mind - which is good for X8s?

LoL Razer .... dunno .... I think both of them also good just familiar more with Destructor =3

I don't think Microsoft is that established yet - their Sidewinder Gaming stuff hasn't covered fan accessories (like bags and caps) and also more importantly - gaming surfaces...

Microsoft mainly production not focusing on gaming industry, of course they don't have fan accessories (like bag or cap)..

I suppose if they are resurrecting the Sidewinder series right, they are indicating that they're re-entering the gaming market.

oh well.. If MS comes out with new mouse pad.. One more competitor entering the gaming industry for mouse surface.. =/

i heard x8 got tracking problem? true or false?

im using qck

Tracking problem??? I've no tracking problem at all right now... Tried on multiple surfaces and still no problem. Where and what exactly did u hear??

lol.. i don't even have OCZ products.

Im just saying.. the way you say "dam cheap" its more like promoting yer sales, which its kinda rules ur breaking here..

"4) Advertising of personal sales is not allowed."



Where did u hear that from?... so far i haven't hear anything abt it... do post yer source, as i want to know too.

Cheers

is the sidewinder x8 in full black? cause i saw some parts are like greyish

i love the auto cruise Function on the sidewinder x6, but too bad it doesn't have ghosting effect like razerkeyboards, so that i can keep the Alt on auto cruise and use other keys to execute commands....

color is not like piano black, is almost like grey black .....





@Enigmare

So far the tracking problem only appears on very fine papers, on most of the gaming mouse surface are almost no problem to me =P

Tested it wont track properly on layout pad and super fine papers / super fine white surface only .....

m X6 & X3 work totally fine!

The X8 is partially purplish grey... Not black exactly.

Well guys ... I feel weird about the X8 ...

You know X8 Scroll or even the original are not smooth while you get it in new but

after a month on spamming scroll, my scroll become super smooth + precision than G9 especially a drag down scroll it did smooth and precise ... glad to see the "hidden" ability ..... ><

well for metal scroll I think the sliping issue still not a yet because the scroll ring they designed with many needly texture for preventing slip out =) which is another upside

hi guys,,any method how to clean dirt or remove hair inside the x6 keyboard??aish..
