Improve Your Game With A Wireless Gaming Mouse

A good representative of the latest wireless gaming mouse technology is Microsoft's Sidewinder X8

. This mouse is the newest threat to the a market recently dominated by the Razer line of mice. Naturally, the gamer is allowed to set the DPI settings of his choice. He can select a setting of 400, 800 or 4000 (2000 for previous versions of the Sidewinder.) The significance of DPI consists in the fact that more points can be selected per inch of the display, giving the player more control over his game.

Even the weight of a sidewinder mouse can be altered, making it a very flexible mouse. Because whoever operates the mouse has this ability to change the weight, one can vary the amount of arm and wrist force applied, thus allowing for the maximum amount of control over the device. Another feature of the Sidewinder is that it has the capacity to change its feet, meaning the degree of smoothness with which it glides will vary, depending on the gamer's preference.

Another important feature of the Sidewinder is that the gamer has view of the other side of the screen. This additional bonus exists to allow the gamer to view maps during the game or allows the gamer to keep aware of hidden enemies. There are five adjustable buttons that the gamer can program as shortcut functions particular to the game that he is playing. Additionally there are function buttons that allow gamers to access other features particular to the game.

Of course, the Sidewinder mouse driver provides the user with the ability to remember tasks that are repeated often in the game by recording them as macros. Clearly, the Sidewinder wireless gaming mouse has set a new trend in computer gaming. Along with other Razor computer paraphernalia, the mouse is calculated to bring wireless gaming hardware at par with the spectacular development of gaming graphics. The Sidewinder X8 followed the X5 which followed the original Sidewinder, which in turn came after Microsoft collaborated with Razer on the Habu. Incidentally it runs on wired and wireless technology and affords the user a great deal of flexibility with his mouse.

Although the Sidewinder wireless gaming mouse has its fans, many still stick with the wired version. The big downside of the wireless version is the need to recharge it. Also, purists seem to gravitate toward the wire and its connection to the computer, giving the gamer some sort of sense that the the mouse and the computer are one. Acclimating oneself to the wireless version can take time and patience.

Additionally, running a wireless gaming mouse without the wires is just like running a laptop without its cables. It seems to be just a little less efficient. To the question of which is better, both types of mice have their proper use. A wired mouse is still the best option for computing though. Wireless mice are great for being far away from the mainframe, for presentations perhaps, but definitely not for gaming. What gamer is ever that far away from the CPU?
