    NZXT Avatar

    With manufacturers like Logitech and Razer leading the market in gaming peripherals, the name \"NZXT” would rarely, if ever, come to mind when thinking of purchasing a new gaming mouse. If you turn the focus to computer cases however, NZXT might be one of the first five names mentioned. Known for making affordable enthusiast cases, NZXT is venturing into a Razer and Logitech dominated market with the new and currently their only gaming mouse, the Avatar. NZXT's Avatar has everything gamers usually want in a mouse recipe. Very high DPI, laser based, looks great, has plenty of buttons, and even goes as far as being completely ambidextrous. Left handed gamer or not, the Avatar will fit into your hand easily due to its slim and sleek design. We all know that having the right ingredients doesn't always produce a superior product. Sometimes it takes a little special something to complete a product and make it stand out from it's competitors. Does NZXT's Avatar have that special something? Let's find out. Included with the Avatar is an application that allows complete customization. Buttons can be reassigned, DPI can be adjusted along with the X and Y axis sensitivity. To make transitions easier, profiles can be saved as well.

    NZXT Avatar Gaming Mouse

    The Avatar is the first entry into the field of gaming mice of NZXT, normally known for producing high-quality PC enclosures for the LAN gaming market. This is not an atypical pattern; other manufacturers (recently, SilverStone) have branched out from computer enclosures and PSUs into gaming mice with unusual form factors. SilverStone’s was solid but unspectacular, filling a peculiar ergonomic niche for those with extra-large hands… could this be the Next Big Thing, or will it just be another middle-of-the-road mouse for people with – this time – narrow hands? Or left hands — the Avatar already has something going for it, in that it is totally ambidextrous, save the LED sensitivity readout. But that’s not a control, and I’ve yet to find one of those that’s really useful. Of particular relevance to this discussion is mouse grips – how people actually hold the mouse in the hand. Here, Razer has probably spent the most time introspecting and quantifying just what it is to hold a mouse; I will be using their definitions as they are a common point of reference. Not to give you the impression that the Avatar is a ripoff; it does not compare directly with anything we could find and its shape is unique in the narrow, high arched back and long finger-rest buttons.
