Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike
Company: Microsoft
Website: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware
Estimated Street Price: $49.95
Review By: Byron Hinson
The Features
Well now, this is a funny looking gamepad
isn't it?. The Microsoft Dual Strike game is a new 3-D design that blends
together the functions of the gamepad and the mouse. But everyone take
note, the Dual Strike controller is USB only.
Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike
Features:
- Perspective Control Dual
Strike's innovative moveable Perspective Control greatly improves
aiming and movement essential in first person and action/adventure
games. This Control incorporates the functionality of the mouse
traditionally used in first person and action/adventure games, making
it easier and more enjoyable for many gamers.
- Multiple Customizable Buttons
Six action buttons, two triggers, and one shift button allow gamers to
customize up to sixteen programmable buttons that deliver the greatest
level of control and customization. These buttons incorporate the
keyboard element of control traditionally used in first person and
action/adventure games.
- Easier Gameplay SideWinder Dual
Strike enables the average gamer to more easily perform complex moves
against computer opponents. Many gamers who feel bound by the clumsy
keyboard/mouse input device will find new freedom and intuition with
Dual Strike. From Quake to Tomb Raider III, gamers will find total
immersion one step closer.
- Extended Gameplay Extreme
comfort via dedicated ergonomic design enables gamers to play for
hours on end with minimal fatigue.
- Award-winning SideWinder Game
Controller Software SideWinder Game Device Software includes 30
top game profiles and allows gamers to map keystrokes, keystrings and
chords to individual gamepad buttons, swap game axes, and adjust
sensitivity to amplify movements.
- Advanced Design and Durability
Dual Strike's stunning durability and design is ready for abuse and
admiration while allowing comfortable gameplay for hours on end.
- USB Compatibility Using the
Universal Serial Bus takes advantage of the latest operating system
functionality for easy installation and set up.
