It takes a lot for me to call a mouse's shape wierd (consider I think the Logitech G9 has a nice look and probably good ergonomics) but the SideWinder takes the cake. That has to be the funkiest looking mouse I have seen in a long time from a major brand name. I need to let this sink in a bit before I post my thoughts.

It looks cool....I have to say that...but ergonomics...the G9 might win in that regard, and ergonomics is far more important than looks in the long run.

 

Have to feel it to really be sure.

 

LCD on mice....although thats what I thought when they put one on a Keyboard and I found that to be incredibly useful....
