NZXT Releases the Avatar Gaming Mouse
Do most people care about a gaming mouse? Probably not. Would most people be interested in reading about this? Probably not. Either way, “high-performance” gaming hardware-makers NZXT have just today unleashed the Avatar gaming mouse fact sheet on my inbox. Designed to provide “smooth fragging and accurate sniping” with an adjustable four-speed DPI switch, the Avatar may be the next best thing to diazepam and a bottle of Jolt Cola.
Sounds impressive, but how well does it really work in practice? We’ll find out… because that’s what we do. It’ll probably show up in a week, and I’ll tell you whether it’s worth the fluff or if it sucks digital dick. Read on for the full specs.
From the fact sheet:
- Optimal performance – 2600 DPI Optical Sensor provides maximum sensitivity and responsiveness which yields unparalleled gaming accuracy. LED DPI indicator gives the user improved usage and feedback. 5.8 Mega Pixels/second with a max frame rate of 6469 ensures smooth fragging and accurate sniping. 4 Speed DPI switch enables you to go from slow sniper movement to quick attack movement in a matter of seconds.
- Maximum Customization – 7 programmable keys allows gamers to customize their configuration specifically for First-Person Shooters, Real-Time Strategy, or Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games all within the macro and profile settings.
- Ergonomic Design – Ambidextrous design gives full use to both right and left handed gamers. Rubber grip helps avoid slipping during intense gameplay and the small, light form factor allows for faster and quicker movements.
- Simple Installation – Avatar plugs into any available USB port.
