Review � NZXT rocks on with Avatar S gaming mouse

 

Are you a serious gamer who uses nothing but the very best hardware available in order to further cement your dominance at the top of the gaming food chain? Well, surely you know that even gaming equipment will not remain at the top of its game forever, and an upgrade from time to time would serve you well (although your bank account might beg to differ). NZXT might be next on your list if you are looking out for a gaming mouse, as they have just announced the Avatar S.

This will be the latest addition to their award-winning range of gaming mice, where the Avatar S will allow PC gamers as well as enthusiasts enjoy simple, precise gaming control, bringing to the table an array of intuitive, innovative features. It is rather similar to the original Avatar gaming mouse thanks to its sleek and stealthy design, while sporting an ambidextrous, low profile, light form factor that has Teflon feet at the bottom to help you glide this puppy over just about any decent surface, letting your reflexes do the talking.

The Avatar S will also offer on-the-fly DPI selection thanks to a DPI switch which will adjust it between 1600, 800 and 400DPI � all without having to go through the hassle of downloading different drivers. Apart from that, you can also save yourself precious seconds in games with the ability to custom configure in-game macros. That is accompanied by 5 media keys, X-Y sensitivity, and LED lighting, where all your carefully selected personalized settings can be saved onto the onboard 16Kb memory.

Johnny Hou, Founder and Chief Designer at NZXT has this to say, “We designed Avatar S as an intuitive solution that gives gamers maximum personalization with minimum hassle. Your profile settings can be easily configured and then saved onto the onboard memory in case you game on multiple rigs. When gearing up at a LAN party, the last thing gamers should have to worry about is whether or not their mouse is configured correctly. Avatar S eliminates that headache.”

Best part of all? The Avatar S will retail for a relatively affordable $39.99 (€34.99 for our friends living across the pond), which is cheaper than other higher end gaming mice.
