Gigabyte Aorus M5

Highly customizable ; Great ergonomics ; Fun RGB lighting

Construction feels a bit flimsy ; Price could be cheaper

The Aorus M5’s construction feels a little flimsy, but its customization features, great ergonomics and fine performance make up for it in a big way.

Very good optical sensor.

Body is quite plasticky in some areas.

The Gigabyte Aorus M5 mouse performs well, has plenty of features and comes with competitive price, however we think it is let down by the Aorus Engine software.

Weight-adjustable. Programmable RGB LEDs, including segmented stripes on the sides.

Too-small grips. Loose magnet on underside in our sample.

Bottom Line: Gigabyte's Aorus M5 is a bright, feature-packed gaming-mouse competitor. The rich feature set includes removable weights and mood lighting with robust programmability.
