Microsoft SideWinder X3 Black Wired Laser Mouse

This is a basic mouse so don't expect it to be a gamers delight. The mouse is solid, smooth, and does its intended job well. I bought several of these for office use and the users seem to be well pleased.

For the price this is a very good mouse. Great for gaming. It fits well in the hand and is customizable. The side buttons are a little oddly placed but are not too bad once you get used to it.

We purchased this mouse on a graphics station PC. Users were complaining about the old mouse and when I found it was an old roller ball mouse I immediately logged on to the website to get an optical mouse. This was an excellent purchase with great quality for the price. The users on the PC wondered how we had done without it. The changeable resolutions are fantastic for doing detail work or zooming around the screen clicking buttons on low res. I have used MS mice for years and never had a problem or complaint with any of them. This one is another winner.

I like everything about the mouse except the side button size. They are small compared to my Intellimouse Optical. Other than that its an amazing mouse, perfect weight, the scroll wheel feels great. Oh, the 2000 DPI button takes effort to switch to, usually taking 2 presses to activate.

Replaces my MS Intellimouse Optical. Wanted a high performance laser mouse with a conventional feel and weight(the X3 weighs 93 gms or about 3 oz). Went to this company B&M, and it felt really comfortable, so I bought it. Still happy after a month or so. Very precise, great tracking, and it itegrates well with Windows 7 (I'm using the Intellimouse software). All the buttons and scroll wheel operate flawlessly. I use this as an all purpose mouse, 8-10 hours a day. The mouse movement is effortless. The only improvement I would offer Microsoft is the side buttons are about .25 inch too far forward. You have to move your hand forward on the mouse body to select them.

I had another certain blue lit famous gaming mouse from an infamous gaming peripherals manufacturer and the left click button went bad after a few months of use. Went and got this to replace it and WOW. I am going to stick with MS from now on. This gaming mouse performs way better than one that delivers 1800dpi and has a shiny blue light.
