NZXT Avatar S Gaming Mouse Review

Back in 2008, NZXT released the Avatar gaming mouse featuring an ambidextrous design. As with all of NZXT's PC accessories, ‘Avatar' was designed to provide gamers with an advantage over their competitors. Move forward to summer of 2011 and NZXT has...

Eye catching high contrast color scheme ; Ambidextrous design ; Polling rate of 1000Hz ; Teflon coated feet

Awkward positioning of right side mouse button ; DPI switching is a pain ; Mouse body needs more weight

Kitguru says: We feel that the Avatar S is worth considering if you are looking for a gaming mouse that is competitively priced.

NZXT Avatar Gaming Mouse Review

The Avatar is NZXT's first attempt at a gaming mouse. Will it be a success for NZXT?

Ambidextrous design ; Attractive design ; Excels at gaming ; Highly customizable ; Precise control and tracking ; Quality Teflon feet ; Side buttons and DPI switcher

Lightweight ; Uncomfortable with the palm grip

NZXT's first attempt at making a gaming mouse is quite a success. The overall look, the features, the performance and the design rival those of the more popular mice sold on the market. Given its 2600dpi infrared sensor and low profile, the Avatar...

NZXT Avatar S gaming mouse review

The NZXT Avatar S is a low-profile, lightweight, inexpensive gaming mouse that even works for left-handed gamers.

At first, the Avatar S was a bit uncomfortable for gaming due to its narrow width. My normal habit is to grip the mouse on the sides with my thumb and pinky, lay my index and middle fingers on the left and right buttons, and either lay my ring finger...

NZXT Avatar S Laser Mouse

Stereotypes can be quite hilarious. Whether we like it or not, we tend to know a few of these racial tendencies for every race out there. Heck, it doesn't even need to be a race. I can say the phrase, "old married couple", and a small list in your head...

NZXT Avatar S Gaming Mouse

Updated optical sensor looks to offer gaming precision at a good price.

The Avatar S is NZXT's latest foray into the extremely competitve gaming mouse market, traditionally dominated by only a few companies. A tall order, to be sure for NZXT, but the Avatar S was a pleasant surprise for its price.
