The Sidewinder X3 is a new entry-level addition to Microsoft’s range of dedicated gaming mice.

Simplicity. Good price. Microsoft hardware reliability.
Just because its a gaming mouse doesnt mean we shouldnt get a wireless version. Theres probably enough demand for more than one button on each side in this price bracket.

I feel I’ve been saying this a lot lately. It’s not a bad mouse, but when you can get a Death Adder, G500 for under the price of this thing, there’s really not much else to say. Those are simply much better mice. It might be a good “gateway” mouse, as...
