The older I get the more I realize that no matter what games
I decide to play, whether they be MMORPG's or just plain first-person shooters I need some sort of an edge to keep up with the younger players. Short of
hopping in the "Way Back Machine" the best method I have found to gain a little
edge is to have a super fast and sensitive mouse and keyboard.
The mouse that we are looking at today comes from our friends
at Microsoft Corporation and goes by the name of Microsoft Sidewinder USB Gaming
Mouse. As we dig deeper into the review I think you will be totally
blown-away to see the shear number of features this gaming rodent has.
