Just a few short weeks before the release of the SideWinder x5, Microsoft announces the x8, a wireless gaming mouse that doubles the DPI of the previously announced mouse. Other than being wireless, it comes with a whopping 4000 DPI, features 30 hours of play per charge, has three different changeable settings, seven programmable buttons, 3 sets of different mouse feet, and an easy to use play-and-charge kit.

It runs on a 2.4GHz frequency, similar to the Xbox 360's controllers, so we can assume it will be just as stable, though the mouse sends much more data than a controller could ever hope to do. We'll be interested to see if it makes a decent wireless gaming mouse. There aren't enough of those.
