Microsoft gives gamers the Blues with SideWinder X8 E-mail

The storage box for the spare feet does double duty as a tidy for the charging cable, but there's no mention of the adjustable weight kit that was a feature of the original SideWinder.

"When conducting our research, we found room for improving on the wireless experience for gamers, especially as it related to perceived delay or lag time of response. The SideWinder X8 mouse will put those wireless gaming mouse fears to rest," said Bill Jukes, product marketing manager for Microsoft Hardware.

"We designed this mouse to perform to the highest gaming standards — with near-zero latency, uninterrupted gameplay and the world’s most advanced tracking with BlueTrack technology," he added.

All very worthy - but why has Microsoft chosen to announce the SideWinder X8 so far ahead of the delivery date?
