They still make some of the best on the market.

Also notice how I didn't bash them!]]>Aug 22nd 2007 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/I feel like a dolt.]]>Aug 22nd 2007 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 22nd 2007 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 22nd 2007 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/
Also, Microsoft introduced those curvy ergonomic keyboards to consumers (not that they are very common, even today).]]>Aug 22nd 2007 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 22nd 2007 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/
Those side buttons don't look so good in terms of useability, either. I'd like to see a review from someone using one. ]]>Aug 22nd 2007 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 22nd 2007 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/
Oh, and I also had to comment to turn off this auto email feature, since there's no other way to do it.

I'll be buying two of the new ones when they are released. Can't wait to see a review of the M$ one, though.]]>Aug 22nd 2007 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 22nd 2007 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/]]>Aug 22nd 2007 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 22nd 2007 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 22nd 2007 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 22nd 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 26th 2007 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/Aug 22nd 2007 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://play.tm/story/6353 Another victim to obsession. :D]]>Aug 22nd 2007 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/
This thing is damn sexy.

I'm ashamed to say I want one.

I think the design is tremendous. Weighted throw, variable friction feet? sexy buttons?

I want it.]]>Aug 22nd 2007 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/

Like fighting games, for instance. It is ridiculously hard to do, say, Ken's flaming dragon uppercut-thing with this controller because of how the joypad was designed. Take apart the joypad of it, and then take apart an old NES or SNES controller and compare the two. You'll see why it's a lot easier to do those special moves with an SNES controller than with the SW FS Pro. XD

However, despite the rather bad joypad, the controller is still awesome, especially thanks to its motion-sensing abilities! :D It is for that reason alone that I want to figure out a way to hook the thing up to an N64 so that I can use it when I'm playing F-Zero X on the actual hardware. :)]]>Aug 22nd 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/]]>Aug 22nd 2007 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/microsoft-brings-back-sidewinder-gaming-mouse-throws-in-an-lcd/
