I have been using this mouse for about three weeks now. I have to say that it is by far the best mouse I have ever used. I have all of the response of a wired mouse, but the convenience and freedom of my wireless unit. The gentle slant and large but...
Barrier breaking wireless mouse performance. Huge feature set. Priced very reasonably for performance / features. Decent build quality.
Microsoft could have and should have applied the same level of detail to the exterior finishes as on the original Sidewinder wired mouse.
Game-O-licious Dont’ try it, buy it. While I miss the posh and sophisticated surface on the original Sidewinder and its metal buttons and extra wide scroll wheel, the wireless freedom and performance of this mouse more than make up for it. I notice...

BlueTrack sensor, Ample controls, Ease of use (hardware and software), Excellent range of sensitivity settings, onthefly changing
Uncomfortable for extended use, but your mileage may vary
Microsoft’s Sidewinder X8 was pleasant to use and provided a functional, high-performance, user experience. I will personally use it as a portable gaming mouse, but cannot foresee extensive desktop use because of how the mouse holds my hand. It is m...
Being a wireless gaming mouse the X8 has the challenge of overcoming the lag and short battery life of most wireless mice, all while sporting the added features of a gaming mouse. I would have to say that considering how up until now there have been ve...
