huuu huu...payed for the sidewinder d and a qck mini....hopefully will come to me early^_^

donwan ehh...no money for that leh... i think the sidewinder is more than enough lor...don't really trust wireless...plus...the looks(a tad not that nice to my taste)

ooo....another SW owner , wanna ask the warranty is it 3 years?

hey all,

I've got my mouse and mat

pics in spoiler:



so far so good, but have to get used to the software. BTW, anyone got preferences on the sidewinder mouse whether what functions to put on specific button that you feel better and/or worth to share with us?? thank you...

fuyoo...comforts i give 9/10 coz if my hand was abit bigger then it would be perfect(average size hand, go figure )

nope not thundermatch, but on ebay uk...its rm135 with postage(coz now at uk), abit worried bout the warranty(touch wood touch wood) say got 3 years international warranty.

kk, maybe after 1-2 weeks of "combing" everything out of the sidewinder.

mx 518 is sure legendary and reliable too..()...btw...at pc fair, what peripherals are we going to see selling like hot cakes (gaming peripherals of course)

then would you prefer to have a non-gaming mouse to suite your liking? if so logitech have loads of them....if not maybe this time around i think its better that you test out some mouse b4 buying and do some research...

@Cubex01,

so you have set on to have a razer lar...hhmm...then if don't mind the entry level razer salmosa, I heard its very comfy and kinda smaller than other razer mice.

ooo..congratz...cool....give review and pics too

eh eh..the comparison....add in Microsoft Sidewinder mah..

RMalif:

Congratz on having a Roccat Kone hope that you would give a good review on it......

oooo....so how is it??...does the mouse wheel feels better firm?...post up pictars!!!

here's the thing...to me on-the-fly sensitivity changing sounds more like dpi settings changing..where you would have 1 or 2 buttons to scroll through/push through the dpi settings that you have preset(400/800/100/1500/2000...etc)...so to make sense, almost all gaming mice that are currently in the market have a button or two to switch in between those settings...

just my two cents

it is actually A4tech....just that in europe they got another company "sub" from a4tech...think of it like toyota's lexus...

I've actually search this for quite sometime ago...and i came across a contact site where its linked to taiwan(a4tech's original company location)

Yeah, coz i think the bought the "pattern" from a4tech or even sharkoon is under a4tech.....can't be sure thou...coz if search in google "sharkoon a4tech", i don't get anything to link them up together...I based my assumptions that it is from a4tech solely because i saw the contact details...which is the link below...

well...what you say is true...but its just my hunch...with all the similarities to x7 series....haha

soo..when are you getting your koneagain rmaliff?...i know its in uk with your friend...mind asking him to post it to me then i do review??....hehehehehehhehe ...jkjk

cool...all the best madman...

hhmm...rather than micro keys...it should be macro keys imstead...Macro keys are specific functions that you would make to work on a specific key/button...the picture that chanws8 has provided is is the default forward and back buttons (correct me if i'm wrong) . these button can be change with help from the software of the mouse for different functions that you would like to put...

Actually...no..let me just explain... a macro is where you set a key to perform a specific task/function..for example, say in windows media player, I would want to bind my forward and back song selections on the side buttons of my mouse...hence this is called macro-ing...I understand what you meant from your msg...but that's not macro... thats a profile switcher or to put it simple, a switch/button to change between different profiles that you have set on the software.
For example:
profile 1: 400dpi, forward back for side buttons
profile 2: 1000dpi, next weapon and grenade for side buttons
etc...

i'm assuming you have a gaming mouse coz of your usage of terms, by any chance you have a razer product? If so you would noticed that in your razer mouse's driver/software would have profiles which you can assign adjustments to your liking...correct me if i'm wrong, you would also have the option to bind a button on your mouse to be as a profile switcher right?...then i hope that clears it up with the macro keys' definition.

would anyone else care to elaborate?..thx

fake arh...prove lar...

A4tech came up their xl-740k way before Sharkoon fireglider.....
plus....i don't know it is true o not...but then i think sharkoon may have collaborated with a4tech for the xl-740k...
(argument based on a very suspicious contact details that pointed to Germany and Taiwan, now a4tech is in Taiwan.....do the math)
no offense intended
