00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:08.559
today I'm going to be unboxing uh another gaming peripheral this is the

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.480
Microsoft Sidewinder X8 wireless gaming

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

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

00:00:18.279 --> 00:00:24.720
jeez it is a 4,000 DPI gaming mouse with

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:26.439
play and charge and it runs at 13,000

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:32.640
frames per second so that means that the little laser camera in this mouse is

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:35.760
taking an of the surface under it 13,000

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:38.360
times per second in theory so that

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:44.160
should mean very very smooth performance okay so we have a resolution of up to

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:47.280
4,000 DPI Max acceleration of 75 G's max

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:49.199
speed of 120 in per second and up to 30

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:55.840
hours of Wireless play time which is pretty good cuz even the most hardcore

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:57.399
wow um what are they called raids raid

00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:04.439
player is probably not going to be playing for 30 hours straight

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:06.240
I think I hope okay so the box of this

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

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:14.000
to put this back together afterwards and

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

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

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

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:30.119
the side we have our back and forward buttons that's that's actually pretty

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:33.640
ergonomic usually you see the the back and forward buttons like in this kind of

00:01:32.119 --> 00:01:37.759
orientation but this is kind of cool it's like a little rocker button here we

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

00:01:39.399 --> 00:01:44.600
on the left because I mean some mice kind of go Overkill with it whereas

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.200
others I mean it feels like yeah you could have a lot more back there without

00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:51.759
interfering with anything this kind of looks like it comes off but maybe it

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

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

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.880
the way this mouse is intended to be used is with your pinky resting here

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

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

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:15.480
you've got little uh stick uh nonslip

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:17.319
nonslip slipping pads okay non-stick

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:22.680
pads then you have the power switch at the bottom and inside here is the blue

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:28.120
track technology so The Sidewinder X8 actually doesn't use a red laser it uses

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:30.680
a blue laser which is in theory better

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

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

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:41.800
X8 okay a double A battery this one is a

00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:46.440
rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery and so we can charge it by using

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

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.959
you can plug this Puck which is just a

00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:00.480
wrapper for the cord for the mouse in by

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

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:11.120
can either use the mouse in Wireless mode and this is your receiver for that

00:03:07.239 --> 00:03:13.799
or you can plug this in oh check that

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:19.680
out and it's a little magnetic charging SL wired interface for the mouse so

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:26.239
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 gaming

00:03:23.239 --> 00:03:26.239
