Microsoft SideWinder X5 Mouse
Microsoft's pared-down SideWinder X5 Mouse is supposed to offer PC gamers a lower-cost version of its award-winning higher-end model. Instead, it comes across as flimsy and overly stripped down. Other mice deliver better control for the same price.

CNET Review
The Good: Improved sculpt; moisture-resistant coating.
The Bad: Competing Logitech mouse offers more mouse for the buck; lacks heft.
The Bottom Line: Microsoft's pared-down SideWinder X5 Mouse is supposed to offer PC gamers a lower-cost version of its award-winning higher-end model. Instead, it comes across as flimsy and overly stripped down. Other mice deliver better control for the same price.
Price Range: $39.99 - $44.97
