Microsoft SideWinder X8 Wireless Mouse

Microsoft has finally released its SideWinder X8 wireless mouse that comes with BlueTrack technology which is capable of processing up to 13,000 frames per second, although it still cannot be used on glass. While it operates on the 2.4GHz wireless spectrum, that doesn’t mean it is a slouch where gaming performance is concerned as it can move up to 120 inches a second. In addition, you don’t have to worry about losing power or charging it while playing as there is an option to play-and-charge simultaneously, although that would mean losing the wireless capability as you juice up the X8. A full charge is able to supply enough juice to last up to 30 hours of non-stop gaming, but we’ll give or take some minutes from the quoted figure just to be on the safe side. All in all, the SideWinder X8 sounds like a safe purchase at $99.95 a pop.
