NZXT Avatar Gaming Mouse
Summary
The Avatar is NZXT’s first foray into the extremely competitve gaming mouse market, traditionally dominated by two or perhaps three companies. A tall order, to be sure for NZXT, but the Avatar was a pleasant surprise, a unheralded gem of a mouse.
The Avatar features a solid selection of buttons, a simple and straightforward setup, elegant and stylish aesthetics in a no-nonsense package, and all at a reasonable price for the gaming market segment. Consumers, and gamers in particular, want a mouse not only to work well, but to work simply. And the Avatar does just that, allowing just about anyone to slip it on for size and just move effortlessly from the get-go.
Admittedly, as with any mouse review, these results are subjective, but as they say, this is a nice bit of kit. It’s comfortable for long periods, logically laid out, and “just works”. I see a possible trend emerging in custom gaming mice, maybe themed or perhaps designed to match a company’s gaming cases. In either case, if this mouse is any indication, NZXT is ready. And that’s saying something, coming from a trackball guy.
