Microsoft today announced the SideWinder Mouse, the latest rodent in their gaming mouse line-up has just about every cool feature from any other recent mouse plus a whole lot more, I guess we'll have to wait until October to find out whether or not it's any good.

The cut a long press release short, the mouse features;

The SideWinder Mouse has a weight cartridge system and comes with four weights (up to 30 grams) so gamers can customise the weight of the mouse to their preference.

The SideWinder Mouse ships with three sets of feet, offering varied levels of glide depending on personal preference and the surface used.

Instantly switch between DPI settings. A 2,000-DPI laser engine delivers super-fast response time, and three DPI switches behind the scroll wheel allow gamers to toggle between low-, medium- and high-sensitivity settings — in-game, at any time.

With the first LCD on a gaming mouse, gamers can easily keep track of key gaming actions — including their DPI and steps for recording macros — without being distracted from the game.

Cable management system. The unique cable management system offers the feel of a wireless mouse with the connection speed of a wired mouse by holding the extra cable and preventing it from getting caught on other items on the desk. The cable management system doubles as a storage compartment for extra weights and feet.

I'll try and get some images of it as soon as possible but if you check out www.siteofchampions.com you might catch of glimpse of what looks like quite a large mouse.
