SideWinder X3 Gaming Mouse More Count Dooku Than Darth Vader
Microsoft's SideWinder gaming mice get more homogenized every release: The $40 X3 looks normal, almost boring, more Clone Wars than Darth Vader. It's got 2000DPI, on-the-fly switching and a single thumb button (WTF). [Microsoft] -

SideWinder X8 Wireless Gaming Mouse Has Ridiculous 4000DPI, Still Designed by Darth Nerd
A wireless mouse is blasphemy for most gamers—Logitech's got the G7, but Razer won't go near wireless—so naturally, that's exactly what Microsoft's revived, genre-busting SideWinder is doing with the X8. Not only is it wireless—using a 2.4GHz connection, like the G7—it escalates the silly DPI arms race, taking it up to 4000dpi to match the current champ, Razer's Lachesis, though it uses Microsoft's new BlueTrack laser tech that'll let you mouse on a Jedi master's bald head.

Microsoft Releasing SideWinder Keyboard in September?
Is Microsoft continuing their SideWinder brand revival—started with a mouse—with the release of a keyboard later this year? Perhaps, but this SideWinder X6 seems to be a pretty interesting keyboard in any case. It's got red (perhaps glowing?) keys, a detatchable num-pad, programmable buttons and TWO gigantic knobs on the right. We're thinking those knobs will be programmable as well, perhaps to cycle through your weapons or scroll through your iTunes playlist. We'll just have to wait until September to see whether or not this $79 keyboard really is the SideWinder. [Pcinpact via Engadget] -

First Look at Microsoft's Crazy Sidewinder Gaming Mouse (Designed by Darth Vader)
The first joystick I ever bought was a Msft Sidewinder. Some hands on time with their new mouse, the first ever to carry this brand, was very positive: it's worthy of the marquee and a is a well engineered pointer, even if it does look like a Darth Vader's Imperial interrogation droid-ette. Or a hydrofoil. First off, a button can be assigned to have your character spin 180-degrees to about-face the punk firing over your shoulder. Then, interchangeable weights can add up to 30 grams of heft under the mouse's center of gravity, and swappable pads offer 3 levels of glide. I've got a gallery of press shots and hands on, if you care to read on. More »
