The Mouse As Art

Historically a chassis manufacturer, NZXT released its first gaming mouse, the Avatar. Looking almost like a sculpture, the symmetrical Avatar is designed to be used with either hand. The rubberized feel makes it easy to grip, and the elongated left and right "click" buttons allow for use by a wide range of hand sizes. On either side of the mouse are chrome buttons preprogrammed for forward and back, and below the sturdy scroll-wheel are two macro keys.

As a gaming mouse, the Avatar supports four levels of DPI, adjustable from 600, 1200, 1800 and 2600. The accuracy is selected by simply holding the left-side chrome button and scrolling up or down. This functionality is built directly into the hardware and no drivers are necessary. There are drivers however, that provide additional features.

As a first attempt to build the better mouse, the Avatar is an excellent mouse for a beginning gamer who's ready to take his peripherals to the next level or anyone else who has the need for a highly accurate, sensitive mouse.
