Microsoft SideWinder X5 Mouse Review

I needed a mouse for my Macbook Pro and did a bit of research for a durable, large gaming mouse and was instantly drawn to the Sidewinder line. As cool as the features of the X8 were, I wasn’t willing to shell out + for a mouse. I found the X5 for with free economy shipping on Amazon and ordered it instantly.

So I figured why the hell not? Man am I glad I got this mouse.
The first test run I used it in was Bad Company 2. In most FPS’s, I was fine with the wireless mouse, but when it can to situations where the reaction mattered, I would lose. With the X5, when you click the button, the button is clicked. No slight delay, no aggravations of wireless, just a quick response. What is useful in Bad Company 2 with …
