00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:08,559
today I'm going to be unboxing uh another gaming peripheral this is the

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,480
Microsoft Sidewinder X8 wireless gaming

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:15,240
mouse so you can see in the packaging here we've got 4,000 DPI the cameraman

4
00:00:13,559 --> 00:00:21,680
is closing the door to his office cuz there are people oh just close the door hurry up

5
00:00:18,279 --> 00:00:24,720
jeez it is a 4,000 DPI gaming mouse with

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,439
play and charge and it runs at 13,000

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:32,640
frames per second so that means that the little laser camera in this mouse is

8
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:35,760
taking an of the surface under it 13,000

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:38,360
times per second in theory so that

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:44,160
should mean very very smooth performance okay so we have a resolution of up to

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:47,280
4,000 DPI Max acceleration of 75 G's max

12
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:49,199
speed of 120 in per second and up to 30

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:55,840
hours of Wireless play time which is pretty good cuz even the most hardcore

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,399
wow um what are they called raids raid

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:04,439
player is probably not going to be playing for 30 hours straight

16
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:06,240
I think I hope okay so the box of this

17
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:11,360
opens in kind of a creative way that is going to make it very very hard for me

18
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:14,000
to put this back together afterwards and

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:18,479
there we go it comes out just like that so we just unfold these little tabs here

20
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:23,079
and I'd love to have a look at the mouse in person so there it is that's the X8

21
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:26,840
up at the top we've got three buttons here and then we have a button here on

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,119
the side we have our back and forward buttons that's that's actually pretty

23
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,640
ergonomic usually you see the the back and forward buttons like in this kind of

24
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:37,759
orientation but this is kind of cool it's like a little rocker button here we

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,479
have a third button on the left hand side here it's nice to see more buttons

26
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:44,600
on the left because I mean some mice kind of go Overkill with it whereas

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,200
others I mean it feels like yeah you could have a lot more back there without

28
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,759
interfering with anything this kind of looks like it comes off but maybe it

29
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,320
doesn't Okay so on the right side you've got kind of an ergonomic uh Groove for

30
00:01:53,719 --> 00:02:00,079
your for your pinky I'm just going to show oh actually it's not it seems like

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,880
the way this mouse is intended to be used is with your pinky resting here

32
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:07,520
because if you try to hold it this way it's kind of uncomfortable it leaves a

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:12,200
lot of your hand exposed down here while we're here we can look at the bottom so

34
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:15,480
you've got little uh stick uh nonslip

35
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,319
nonslip slipping pads okay non-stick

36
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:22,680
pads then you have the power switch at the bottom and inside here is the blue

37
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:28,120
track technology so The Sidewinder X8 actually doesn't use a red laser it uses

38
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:30,680
a blue laser which is in theory better

39
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,480
okay and then this seems to be battery holder yeah so that's where we put the

40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:39,640
battery inside so why don't we have a look at what else is included with the

41
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,800
X8 okay a double A battery this one is a

42
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:46,440
rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery and so we can charge it by using

43
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:53,879
and this is a cool feature because this is one of those uh Wireless swi mice so

44
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,959
you can plug this Puck which is just a

45
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:00,480
wrapper for the cord for the mouse in by

46
00:02:57,959 --> 00:03:04,640
USB to the back of your computer okay so there's a USB cord there and then you

47
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:11,120
can either use the mouse in Wireless mode and this is your receiver for that

48
00:03:07,239 --> 00:03:13,799
or you can plug this in oh check that

49
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:19,680
out and it's a little magnetic charging SL wired interface for the mouse so

50
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:26,239
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 gaming

51
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:26,239
