Microsoft Gaming Mice

Frequently asked questions Why arent my sidewinder x5 side keys not working?!?

I have installed the software that came with the mouse and am running vista home 32 bit but my back and forwards keys are not working. Please help

Know an answer?


Answer If you mean the buttons on the sides of the mouse, it could just be a defective mouse, try to exchange it with a new one and see if it works.

    Microsoft Sidewinder X5

    Microsoft Sidewinder X5 is the next model up the X3 Sidewinder society, we have seen a few weeks ago. This model has an ergonomic design for right-handed, which makes it much more comfortable to hold. The red LED to give back this mouse a touch of class visual.

    Three buttons sensitivity can be programmed by the IntelliPoint software for DPI settings from 200 dpi to 2000 dpi. This allows you to define different types of games or different modes, such as low IPR sniping high precision and high-CIO to run. The mouse is very sensitive and let us move smoothly in all our test cases.

    As the two mouse buttons sensitive, there are two other buttons on the circular side of the mouse. They are really easy to reach with the thumb, so you can assign them manually to your favorite tracks to improve your game, they can be used for back and forward in your web browser.

    Full review:

    Just a short review for this one. The range Sidewinder mouse is the trademark of Microsoft games, and they have actually done a pretty good job with both the X5 and X8, the last day for this sport the best wireless setup there. The X3 is their little brother, and it shows in the design imagination. The other was crazy Sidewinders buttons were large and angular, and pretty much screamed "Mouse Freak" to all those who have seen one on your desk. But it was good because they worked well.The X3 also works well as can be expected, but the fact is $ 40, you can get a better mouse.

    The shape of the mouse is very comfortable. He has good size and the average curve of comfort. There is no shelf for your fingers on the outside but there is a small (but effective) one for the thumb, whatever side you took. DPI buttons are off the road, but quickly accessible.

    The thumb buttons, however, are just too far down the mouse.This is a design flaw very clear: the plateau of the thumb indicates where your thumb should sit down when you hold the mouse button is half an inch closer to the tip of the mouse. It's just physically impossible to rest your thumb on the shelf and still be able to reach the button, you need to lift the heel of your hand and reach forward, and that will do that? And of course, since it is an ambidextrous mouse, a button is all going to lose around your ring finger, which can not do much with it.
