expertreviews‘s review Edit

A responsive and comfortable entry-level gaming mouse, but better-featured models are available for just a little more.

ExtremeTech‘s review Edit

Very little has been done to really improve the SideWinder X5 over its predecessor. What Microsoft has done is offer users a trimmed-down version of the original SideWinder in hopes of luring gamers to the X5's lower price tag. And yes, the X5 is lower in price than the original SideWinder's MSRP, but the street price of the older, more feature-robust mouse is actually lower today. Here's a decent example of depreciation doing something good for Joe six-pack.

Microsoft shows their dark side with the X5 and gives us a real taste of the force in its gaming performance.

Maximum PC‘s review Edit

Sporting an ever-so-slightly trimmed-down shape compared to the original Sidewinder gaming mouse, along with a stripped down featureset, the Sidewinder X5 delivers great performance at a very reasonable price. Like the original Sidewinder, the design works great for gamers who use either a claw or a standard grip (or who like to change between them), but it’s not particularly comfortable for people with small- to medium-size hands. After a couple of hours of play using a standard grip, our hands cramped.
