The Avatar-S is packaged in molded plastic surrounded by a thin cardboard outer shell. The front of the box has an area cutout of the cardboard shell to provide potential buyers with a good look at the new Avatar-S gaming mouse, The back side of the package contains a number of product features listed in various languages.
Pictured above we have the contents minus the cardboard shell. The plastic layer should protect the mouse from any type of shipping damages.
Looks like a fairly average mouse with a pretty shell. They have too much competition from microsoft, razer etc.
These need weight systems. thats all they need to add. maybe make a deluxe version of it…. ?
Looks fantastic, but im happy with my MX518, the best mouse ever IMO
I like the looks a lot and people need to realise that its much cheaper than many of the high end gaming mice.
I mean look at Razer, you could basically buy a CPU for the price of one of their high end mice today
Yeah, Razer mice are a bit expensive, but, trust me – they’re perfect for that amount of $.
if the body had some weight to it I would have liked it more but it’s not a bad mouse for the price
“Mouse body needs more weight.”
Whether this is a con is highly subjective and shouldn’t be included as one in a review striving to be objective. If I could, I would have as light a mouse as materially possible while still being robust. The closest I’ve come to is MS Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1. It’s very light and it’s the best mouse I’ve used so far, despite lack of high polling rate, high DPI and side buttons.
NZXT Avatar S looks like worthy mouse if it is well built and the sensor is reliable. I didn’t notice the review say whether the mouse has any prediction / angle snapping. Angle snapping straightens the direction of the sensor output in fast movements and while it may be useful in photo editing and such, it will decrease the accuracy of your mouse movement in FPS games.
The remaining question, for me, is whether the mouse is comfortable. It looks comfortable as it has vertical sides which make it easy to lift, but I’d still have to test it to know better…
