  • Abstract:  Malgré le succès de la Xbox 360, Microsoft n’oublie pas pour autant les joueurs sur PC et continue de sortir régulièrement des souris et des claviers destinés aux gamers. La X8 est la dernière évolution de la lignée des Sidewinder, une famille qui s...

  • Résolution ajustable à la volée, Indicateur du niveau de batterie, Position des boutons sous le pouce, 2 jeux de patins en téflon et lylon, Design original
  • Molette trop dure à notre goût, Fréquence fixe, 500 Hz, Driver sommaire, Prix
  • Sans être la plus maniable, ni la plus belle , ni celle sur laquelle la main se pose le mieux, cette SideWinder X8 mérite car elle propose une option aussi originale que pratique : c'est une souris, précise, et à la fois avec et sa...

  • Alta personalizzazione, tecnologia BlueTrack che garantisce le massime performance, e non ultimo la libertà di giocare liberi da cavi sono i cavalli di battaglia di questo mouse studiato per gli appassionati di giochi.
  • Il prezzo un po alto saddice ai veri maniaci del gioco. A costi più bassi si possono trovare mouse molto simili come performance, anche se dotati di cavo. Non è idoneo per i giocatori mancini

  • clevere Ladetechnik, sehr präzise Abtastung
  • schwer
  • Die Sidewinder X8 richtet sich klar an ein Gamer- Publikum – für den alltäglichen Gebrauch ist sie nur bedingt zu empfehlen. Dafür bietet sie aber kabellose Spielfreude, die nur ein wenig durch das hohe Gewicht eingeschränkt wird...
