Hm, now I'll have to decide betw. that and the G9.. LCD vs. 3200dpi & the flywheel type scroll wheel.. Probably the latter

Would of been nice if Microsoft supported their fsking Sidewinder joysticks longer instead of leaving their customers in the dust so shortly after releasing a product...

Laser is bad for gaming, I've found. Can't pick up the mouse a hair and recenter it without it moving my aim. The optical mice were much better in that regard, but the ones I was using were too low resolution. I use a ballmouse now for gaming.

Funny, I haven't had any trouble with my mx1000. You just have to adjust the sensitivity to suit you. In 1942, I can pan 180 by moving an inch in either direction. That doesn't impeed my accuracy either. Ask Trampler on kali sometime.

I have a problem gaming with my MX1000, it weighs a ton and is sluggish. My G7 on the other hand works very well, and is generally more accurate than the MX1000.MD-2389 wrote:Funny, I haven't had any trouble with my mx1000.

I have no problem with picking up my laser mouse and moving it.
that being said, MS is better off pairing this mouse with a keyboard and selling both for the 360 as well.

Thought that the Microsoft Sidewinder Product was ONLY joysticks.
I'll stick with my joystick for flight sims and descent - thank you very much!

I heard RAZER's DeathAdder is better than the G9 ^_~

Huh, I'd say the only Razer mouse comparable to the G9 is the Lachesis.. I'm done w/ Razer, their hardware is mid-range at best and I really hate their marketing burps -- it's like tech-speak in the Voyager series: \"Nine independently programmable Hyperesponse™ buttons\", \"Zero-acoustic Ultraslick™ Teflon feet\", \"32KB Razer Synapse™ onboard memory\", \"1000Hz Ultrapolling™\". Any top end mouse has these features, they just don't use (tm)ed pseudo-science terms to describe them.

Their marketing is ridiculous, but the mice they produce are still pretty good. Im still using the original Boomslang I bought way back in early 2000.Grendel wrote:Huh, I'd say the only Razer mouse comparable to the G9 is the Lachesis..

There was a Sidewinder gamepad at one point, from memory.
By the way, try repeatedly opening and closing those expanders in the feature list in Firefox. You'll notice an amusing bug.

I still prefer my Mx 518
The button placement won me over. I use the 2 thumb buttons quite a bit now.

Beware of the SideWinder mouse if you have regular to small hands -- that puppy is pretty bulky. I can't reach the fwd/rev buttons comfortably eg. No tiltwheel either, even tho the metal wheel is nice. $58 @ amazon ATM. Will play around a bit more w/ it but I'm sold on the G9 -- MUCH better handling.
