    Hello

    I need a new mouse for my xps m1530 in which I will be surfing the web and playing CS:Source, Halo 2, and other FPS's.

    I was looking at a Sidewinder Gaming Mouse for about 40$ and even the wireless notebook laser mouse 6000.

    The problem is i dont really want 15 feet of usb cord hanging all over the place but i still want a durable mouse that could handle some gaming.
    Would you still get the sidewinderfor a laptop? Or is there another mouse out there for me?

    Thanks in advance.

    (p.s i did look at the gaming mouse sticky still didnt help me.)

    Wireless + gaming = skip...skip...skip...

    I had a go last week with a wireless mouse, that was bad...

    I had a MX510 which is the same shape as the MX518 and G5, very comfy. :) I now own the Razer Diamondback, it came with a soft neoprene carrying case which was very very useful for traveling. And I have damaged my MX510 a few times before...

    so im guessing no one likes the sidewinder, it looks good from the review, well I'll keep all these mouses in mind before i buy.

    Thanks

    Go to the store and try mice, if you like the feel of the sidewinder. Comfort > Specs .. No comfort no game
