Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse

[Strudul]

I have been looking at the Microsoft Sidewinder. It is cheap and has reasonably good stats. However there are 2 mice in the Sidewinder series that seem the same...

The Microsoft Sidewinder and Microsoft Sidewinder X5.

They are about the same price and seem to have the same performance.

Does anyone know the difference (apart from bits of colour)

Thanks

Sidewinder is the older one... X5 is the newer one. The newer one has less features than the older one... and as you said both can be had for the same price-ish.

I recently purchased a Sidewinder, and am loving it. but defiantly go for the Sidewinder and not the X5 as you are paying the same for less features (if you get the X5)
