Sidewinder and X3 user here.



Very happy with both of them..

x3 user here... not too happy with X3...my thumb cannot reach the left side button

cannot reach? this mouse seems small in size and I found no problem to reach the button =/

X3 was very cheap in look ... however it maybe the light and portable gaming mouse in Sidewinder series

either you try to get use to it by time or you can might consider to trade it in anfd get another mouse, but choose wisely ya!

when x6 promotion coming?x3 is now so cheap...rm49 can get lol...

u find it small?? i find it too big for me XD all the while i've been using small mouse... what i love is its 2kDPI, but not the side button...1 more thing goo about this mouse is right and left handed also can use coz it's symmetrical

bump up from last page...

which specific button you're talking about?

If macro I found no problem on Win7 .... if you're talking about certain special button on the Intellpoint then thats another story

Lol. The X3 fits me nicely. And yeah, the Sidewinder is way bigger (not the X5 or X8, just the Sidewinder).

I can reach the side buttons easily..

@ericmaxman,
what's your opinion on the x3? got a friend planning to get it

errr... the buttons are acting like ordinary buttons only, and not the specific buttons in the game. in other word, the specific program button is not working and is like normal button in windows.

@ lencent

Help me, help you ;p Can you be like really specific so that I can (somewhat) replicate your situation with my gaming rig. I'm using Vista Ultimate only but should give us a lead or two.

If you're talking about the "spin-180-around" function, you need to calibrate it first, i.e. hit the designated button, hold left mouse, make a left or right 180 turn, then let go left mouse. Now if you click that particular button again your view will spin 180. Tried that configuration on CoD5 and it work, albeit I never use it that much, same goes with the Precision Booster feature. Curiously now, I never tried that on a RTS game yet ;p

well im still quite confusing what button u are talking however if u trying to mean the button problem perhaps the macro record button comes the problem sometimes while u recording on-the-spot during game

ok... i will try my best to explain it.

intellipoint has a function that let us customize the buttons in different programs, which i call it program specific buttons setting. so i'm playing torchlight now and i set some macro. i assigned the forward and backward buttons at the side to be the macro. but in the game, i clicked the buttons but nothing happen.

hope u all can understand my lousy english. haha...

this is pretty subjective... let's look at how i hold my mouse, my thumb cant reach the side button.(too short maybe?)

well it seems like you're flatting your palm to fit this mouse, for me this mouse suite for crawing hands because the button was much good to fit in that position

well, maybe i too used to small mouse... that's y i find this mouse MASSIVE~~~~~

...if this case then X8 maybe super huge to you X_X .... X3 was relatively small in size compared to all Sidewinder series

thank god razer release a gaming mouse specifically for notebook-orochi XD (not going to buy though,wang tarak)
