Added on May 4, 2009, 12:47 amoh yeah, for X8 rit, issit suitable for laptop users??? cuz wingster said the diameter of the dongle is 8cm, which is still pretty bulky...

hello guys, it's me again...
got a feel of both the X8 and X5 today... first impression is that, the X8 feels real nice... my whole hand can cover the mouse nicely, with all my fingers at the comfortable areas...
the X5... well, all feels good except for my little finger, have a feeling of being "misplaced", but generally it's still comfortable...
however, the price of the 2 are worlds apart... SG$134 and SG$69 respectively... frankly, i love the feel on the X8, but the price tag is wat's stopping me... i really wonder if the extra SG$65 is justified... can someone enlighten me???

the X8 sure feels nice, but it's also so much more expensive...

hi guys, it's me again... after some consideration, i decide to get a X5 instead... not really a hardcore gamer, plus i'll use it only on mouse pad, and going to live in university residence (so dun want the mouse to attract too much attention, although the shape of X5 may do so...  ) now i found a deal for SG$58... worth it rit??? |

i guess it's got to do with the increased movement and button clicking when gaming...

QUOTE(victor2212 @ May 26 2010, 01:31 PM) why u abddon sidewinder  X4 is not really wat i am looking for... somehow it looks too plastic to me, even though it's cheap... X6, how to say, design too strange to my liking, moreover Logitech G110 at same price as X6... no offence, but for me, MS still has some work to do for keyboard... |
