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

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..

Pro  -

- Shape much better than the other Sidewinder, fits my hand better
- Nice and smooth
- 2000dpi + laser @ RM49  biggrin.gif
- Programmable buttons
- Nice rubber scroll wheel. Also very smooth biggrin.gif
- Side buttons not that hard to reach
- Smooth movements, due to huge mousefeets.

Cons -

- A tad bit too light
- No LCD (has to be expected, lol)
- Might feel "cheap" (to some, lol)
