Simply amazing… my other half and I were joking about a 10-button mouse only a day ago, and now I find this.
Only Microsoft could’ve come up with something like this – to make your life more complicated than it already was! (Only the other day, my Windows software was telling me I was connected to my wireless connection, only to tell me repeatedly I couldn’t go online because I was offline. Stupidity!) Microsoft SideWinder Mouse will be on sale from 7th Dec. in Japan for approx. £36.
10 buttons including the wheel. 5 of these are customizable (4-8 in the pic above), 1 button (located near your thumb) will run your macros. 74mm (width) x 125mm (length) x 40mm (height), weighing in at 165-95g. Works with XP or Vista.
By the way, the 5 customizable buttons include the wheel, the 2 ‘normal’ buttons, and 2 more located near your thumb… again. Seriously, try playing WoW with such a thing as this monstrosity. You can’t very well tell your raid group: ‘Oh sorry, meant to taunt, not howl’ (when howl scatters enemies and taunt draws them to you).
