Hey!

 

My trusty Microsoft Sidewinder has sadly passed away, and I am now looking for a decent gaming mouse.

What I really enjoyed about the sidewinder was the three hardware DPI buttons which i found infinitely useful while gaming.

Do you guys know of any similar mice to the Sidewinder that isn't thrash?

 

Thanks in advance! :)

G502. You can set any button to the DPI switch using Logitech Gaming Software., though there is a dedicated button behind the scroll wheel and scroll lock.

 

Edit: You can also set a "shift" point where your mouse changes its DPI for as long as you hold the button.

Logitech has several options. The 502 as already mentioned, or the G700(s) are also good gaming mouse that don't cost to much.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Thanks for the reply everyone!

 

I went for the G502, it was a bit narrower than expected, will take some getting used to for sure.

The braided wire was kind of messed up right out of the box, which i found disheartening as the mouse costs 780 NOK here (or 122 Canadian Pesos).

Other than that I'm really enjoying the mouse, the "unlockable" scroll wheel has been infinitely useful in daily use.

 

Attached is a picture of the janky wire.
