X5 will only attract buyers when u reveal the price
Who knows... some of us needs the mouse to work on every type of surface, aka u won't know what kind of surface the table is when ur using the mouse.

hey y'all,

wow...its been awhile since i've been here...good to see ppl are talking serious matters on the x8...
but i'm sad...
wanna know why??....
whatever happened to the Original Sidewinder mouse owners????!!???!!!??....is there anybody else out there that have the Sidewinder mouse like i have??? cry.gif
seems like its either the x5 or the x8....hhmm...could it be that my mouse has been outsourced????!!!! hmm.gif
btw...the RA3 decals on the x6KB looks fantastic...but its already been out for quite sometime now..just that last time you would have to go into RA3's main website to know that their are selling these limited editions(correct me if i'm wrong)...but the now it seems like they are planing to sell it to the masses....

on a curious note....where did AceCombat got his CF decals??!!??...custom made??? cool2.gif

No la, the RA3 decals not really nice, AceCombat's CF nicer... brows.gif He got it from Bulk Orders, some sticker bulk, got link - just check a few posts back. wink.gif I doubt many are actually buying SideWinder, surely a lot are brand blinded by Razer.. laugh.gif

hey,
ermmm...i'm kinda surprise the fact that its that expensive...i'm currently in the UK right now and i bought my OEM version of the ori sidewinder mouse here for 20pounds...so i'm not sure how much is the price back in malaysia....anyway...
1st gen sidewinder:
-2000dpi
-same shape as x5
-the two button on the side are silver coloured rather than the black colour(x5)
-shape almost the same as x5 but bigger(by a few milimetres, not noticeable)
-got weigths(3 10g and 1 5g weights)
-wired (it maybe a plus or a minus factor depending on preference)

hope that clears up abit  thumbup.gif

20Pounds new or used set dude? 20pounds is a little too cheap.. laugh.gif

And while gaming you're using macros here and there - switching dpi here and there. Of course it consumes more power. laugh.gif

Yeah, so some fella claims. I've been using mine for quite awhile, and I've yet to experience key fading... tongue.gif Maybe there are "pirated" X6es on the market??

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

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

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


Added on May 28, 2009, 5:20 pmAnd here's another - the X5:

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. rclxub.gif

^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?? laugh.gif

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?

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... laugh.gif

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

Did you just say your scroll is super-smooth? You do know the G9's scroll is the non-stop rolling one right? Eg. Cruise scroll.. Mine's still stiff... cry.gif
