Sidewinder X8 mouse
So far, I can say that I really like this mouse. It is nice and big (which is good for my somewhat larger hands). I have to say that I am somewhat partial to the vertically oriented back and forward buttons, but to be honest, I am so happy to have a forward button once more! (Logitech G5/7 didn't have one - stupidly).
Software was painless to install and no real tacky interface like Logitech's SetPoint software. Very integrated with Windows mouse properties (surprise surprise?).
Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the mouse pretty much worked real well in Ubuntu Linux. Even the on the fly sensitivity buttons below the scroll wheel worked really well (wonder if it is stored in the mouse).
Battery life has been amazing. I haven't had to charge it since I first fully charged it on Wednesday afternoon (it is now Saturday afternoon).
I'll probably whip up a proper review on TechARP and give a link back for my readers.
