A few moons back - well, many moons really - Microsoft decided to call it a day on its Sidewinder-branded PC peripherals, but they're back, with a new gaming mouse spearheading the SideWinder resurgence.
According to Microsoft, the SideWinder Mouse "defines customised gaming control" and has been created to "meet gamers' individual needs, providing custom tuning tools and a design for ultimate handling".
It also says it's a product that "transcends the mouse category to become a customisable gaming system." Crikey.
"Features include one-touch access to Windows Vista Games Explorer, Quick Turn - a performance-enhancing macro that lets users check their perimeter from wherever they are in-game - the first-ever LCD on a gaming mouse, and a cable anchor that doubles as an accessories storage box", Microsoft adds.
Supposedly there should be further details on the SideWinder Mouse here, but, er, there isn't at the moment so you can hit the link further up the page, or go for this option - we've done a bit of copy and paste and listed what Microsoft has said about the hardware below. So far the mouse only has a US release date of October and will cost $80.
