Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Mouse. Comment: This mouse has lots of features not found on other mice in it class. Its accurate, well built and nice to look at. Recommended! 4.6/5 Customer Rating: Summary: Great mouse Comment: Great mouse for FPS, might be a little large if you have hands of the smaller variety but for the rest of us this is the mouse to have. DPI adjust is very handy during gaming Customer Rating: Summary: Good mouse Comment: This is a very good mouse, the build quality is Fantastic, the scroll whell is the best i have ever used, and the sidebuttons are very nice. The only drawback with this mouse is its size. It is very large and is a funny shape. You get used to it quickly, however I have found a Razer Deathadder suits me better. If you have large hands and are looking for a quality mouse, this is very very nice. Customer Rating: Summary: Big Comment: I just got this mouse today from another site, damn I overpaid. Anyway I'm not sure if I like it yet. My primary reason for buying it was the 2 nice thumb buttons on the side. Like the previous reviewer I wanted to use them in games like COD 4 for ducking and grenade toss. The trouble is the mouse is long and my thumb dosen't naturally sit on the buttons, I can adjust my hand slightly and may find that I do so over time anyway, but if the mouse was 5-10 mil shorter it would be better for me. If you have small hands you may want to stay away or find somewhere or someone who can let you try the mouse out of the box. The variable DPI is also strange. You get 3 settings you can choose at a click of one of the top buttons and you can choose what DPI they are set at with the software. The thing is there are 6 presets ranging from 200 to 2000 but the spacing isn't even. You get 200, 400, 800, 1000, 1600, 2000. I would have like either truely variable or something in the 1000 to 1600 range. This isn't to give the mouse a bad review, Microsoft generally make nice good quality hardware and this is both. It's just that a mouse can be a personal taste thing and when you're paying over £30 you don't want to waste your cash. Oh and Amazon does appear to have the best UK price I've seen, damn Google for pointing me elsewhere. Customer Rating: Summary: Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse Comment: It's a great mouse!!! After using it on BF2142, Call of Duty 4 and Crysis I couldn't be happier, the extra buttons on the side are in just the right place making access to them very easy, Macro recording on the go works excellent and it's easy to set up, being able to change the DPI on the fly is a great idea and a very useful one as well, if you play a lot of FPS games then I highly recommend it.
