 Today I'm going to be unboxing another gaming peripheral. This is the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 wireless gaming mouse. So you can see in the packaging here we've got 4,000 DPI. The cameraman is closing the door to his office because there are people... Oh just close the door, hurry up. It is a 4,000 DPI gaming mouse with play and charge and it runs at 13,000 frames per second. So that means that the little laser camera in this mouse is taking an image of the surface under it 13,000 times per second in theory. So that should mean very very smooth performance. Okay so we have a resolution of up to 4,000 DPI, max acceleration of 75 G's, max speed of 120 inches per second and up to 30 hours of wireless playtime which is pretty good because even the most hardcore wow... What are they called? Raids. Raid player is probably not going to be playing for 30 hours straight. I think. I hope. Okay so the box of this opens in kind of a creative way that is going to make it very very hard for me to put this back together afterwards and there we go it comes out just like that. So we just unfold these little tabs here and I'd love to have a look at the mouse in person. So there it is. That's the X8 up at the top. We've got three buttons here and then we have a button here. On the side we have our back and forward buttons. That's actually pretty ergonomic. Usually you see the back and forward buttons like that in this kind of orientation but this is kind of cool. It's like a little rocker button. Here we have a third button on the left hand side here. It's nice to see more buttons on the left because I mean some mice kind of go overkill with it whereas others I mean it feels like yeah you could have a lot more back there without interfering with anything. This kind of looks like it comes off but maybe it doesn't. Okay so on the right side you've got kind of an ergonomic groove for your pinky. I'm just going to show. Oh actually it's not. It seems like the way this mouse is intended to be used is with your pinky resting here because if you try to hold it this way it's kind of uncomfortable. It leaves a lot of your hand exposed down here. While we're here we can look at the bottom. So you've got little non-slip, non-slip, slipping pads, okay non-stick pads. Then you have the power switch at the bottom and inside here is the blue track technology. So the Sidewinder X8 actually doesn't use a red laser. It uses a blue laser which is in theory better. Okay and then this seems to be the battery holder. Yeah so that's where we put the battery inside. So why don't we have a look at what else is included with the X8. Okay a AA battery. This one is a rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery and so we can charge it by using and this is got cool feature because this is one of those wireless slash wired mice. So you can plug this puck which is just a wrapper for the cord for the mouse in by USB to the back of your computer. Okay so there's a USB cord there and then you can either use the mouse in wireless mode and this is your receiver for that or you can plug this in. Oh check that out and it's a little magnetic charging slash wired interface for the mouse. So thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 gaming mouse.
