 At the Games Convention in Germany, Microsoft unveiled its SideWinder gaming mouse to fill the void of gaming mouse customization. Despite its roller coaster-like name, it's designed to be more ergonomic, thanks to its two vertical side buttons, a wide metal scroll wheel, and four balanced weights. Its "Quick Turn" capability, which lets gamers check their position wherever they are in the game, requires just a click of a button. For more gaming customization, the SideWinder offers changeable mice feet for different glide preferences, a cable anchor (which doubles as the weight tray), and three DPI switches. Perhaps the most innovative feature is the gaming mouse's LCD. (Yes, it has an LCD!) The LCD is meant to "easily keep track of key gaming actions--including their DPI and steps for recording macros--without being distracted from the game." Microsoft's SideWinder Mouse will be available in October 2007 for $79.95. Pre-order it now on Amazon.com.

Yowch. That thing looks like a crazy steampunk fantasy, what with all of the buttons and the screen and the red/black/silver color scheme...I'm not sure I'd want it on my desk!
Still, it's pretty neat, I have to admit...
