Gamers Depot heeft eens gekeken naar de Microsoft SideWinder Strategic Commander, da's een muis speciaal in elkaar geschroefd voor hardcore strategie gamers. De Strategic Commander is compatible met een groot scala aan RTS games waarvoor je met een bijgeleverd proggie profiles voor kunt configureren. Volgens de review heb je voor 59 dollar een prima RTS muis in handen:
In use, this controller was very comfortable, and not fatiguing to use whatsoever. This is great news for those that love to play RTS games 24/7. We found the buttons to have good layout, and easy access, with the only exception being the main finger buttons that click both up and down. It might take some time for you to get used to the way these work. After a little hands-on time, we had it down.
Overall, the Microsoft Strategic Commander can be a worthwhile investment for those that are heavily into RTS games, and for beginners looking to possibly improve their gameplay. For a retail price of $59.99, we feel it is a good investment for both the casual and hardcore gamer as most will see definite benefits from it. And if you look at Microsoft’s page, you’ll see there’s a good chance the Strategic Commander supports your RTS of choice right out of the box. Only time will tell if Microsoft can garner enough developer support so we can see future games with Strategic Commander pre-configurations right out of the box.
