Perfect for either left-or-right hander, this ambidextrous mouse possesses the clean and sophisticated finish that we’ve come to associate with Microsoft hardware. So just how feasible is its ambidextrous feature?
Well, for a native right-hander, I still managed to use the mouse comfortably with my left hand, with little to no discomfort that I could tell. However, some of you might notice how bulky it seems with its rounded shape. It is bigger than I would’ve liked, but maybe that’s the downside of having a one-size-fits-all concept. Let’s take a look at the specs: a resolution of 2000dpi (dots-per-inch), max acceleration up to 20G, max speed of 45-plus inches per second and image processing up to 7080 frames per second. That’s a whole bunch of impressive numbers that Microsoft has thrown at us.
Numbers aside, the X3 also has features such as programmable macros and buttons (geared for gaming) as well as on-the-fly DPI switching that lets you choose between three customizable sensitivity levels. You can do so by selecting between three of the buttons located underneath the scroll wheel where a red LED will indicate which of the buttons have been selected. There’s also another two buttons, located in the recess of the left and right hand sides of the mouse respectively which you can set to execute several preset tasks from the list via the mouse’s software.
