Add the Sidewinder Gaming Mouse to your gaming arsenal

Article



In designing its new Sidewinder Gaming Mouse, we imagine Microsoft's product designers going over the features of the Logitech G5 and the Razer DeathAdder and asking "what else can we cram in there?" For a suggested price of $80, the Sidewinder delivers all of the complexity hardcore gamers demand in their mice, plus it goes a few steps farther.


Wow. Microsoft is putting out a mouse for windows.
You know what that means don't you ?
It means soon there will be an update, and the drivers for this mouse will be part of the operating system. You'll just plug it in and this 80$ 10 button gamers delight of a mouse will simply work !

It means other people's mice that they sell that worked fine before the update, now will suddenly stop working , or start being really really glitchy.

It means when you phone microsoft to ask how come your mouse that worked fine for literally years suddenly doesn't work anymore after that last patch , you'll get told "It's not microsoft certified. Contact the manufacturer , and that will be 75$ on your credit card , thanks for giving the credit card number in advance before we let you talk to a live human being. "

It means other mice manufacturers will be run out of business fairly shortly, and microsoft mice will rule the world !

Either that or the trend to switch to Linux will grow slightly stronger and stronger.
