Microsoft Sidewinder X8

Unlike the Revoltec Fightmouse this new Sidewinder is a wireless mouse, coming with a receiver that plugs into a USB port, and which doubles as a charger for the mouse's rechargeable battery.

Its weight can't be customised but the sensitivity can, and as with the Revoltec model there are two standard buttons and a four-way scroll wheel.

There are three customisable buttons on the side, while three buttons on top of the mouse change the sensitivity.

The USB receiver also contains a set of feet that can be attached to the bottom of the mouse to help it glide on a selection of surfaces.

It also uses Microsoft's so-called Bluetrack technology to work more accurately on a variety of surfaces.

We didn't notice a great deal of difference in accuracy between this and the Fightmouse. It's still a decent gaming mouse, though, and it fits nicely in the hand.
