Testing:

For the testing portion I will be pitting the NZXT Avatar Gaming mouse against the Logitech G5 and a Standard generic Microsoft 800DPI mouse. I will be playing Exteel (for precision) and Red Alert 3 (for control). There will be 4 tests: control, precision, comfort, and customizability each will be given a mark out of 10.

 Precision (KD Spread on Exteel):

While the G5 did have more kills after and average over 3 games it did not improve my ratio where as the NZXT did a considerable amount of improvement over the 3 games I was very impressed with it. The Microsoft mouse was my Achilles Heel this is a horrible gaming mouse choice.

Control (RA3 and Photoshop):

For gaming the NZXT was nice and quick and precise but I must say the weight of the G5 helped a lot in this area as well and when it came to photo editing the G5 was just a bit more controlled than the Avatar. I needed to change my mouse pad because the mouse cursor kept bouncing around on me for the tighter edits with the Avatar. Of course the MS mouse was painful selecting larg areas with a lower dpi mouse is brutal.

Comfort (after 2 hours of use):

For larger hands the G5 is just a little more comfortable than the Avatar but just by a nose the Avatar is leaps and bounds ahead of the comfort of a generic mouse. Just because these mice are “gaming mice” doesn’t mean they do not have every day applications if you spend a lot of time on your PC I strongly suggest getting your self an ergonomic mouse and a decent wrist resting mouse pad. Your wrists will love you.

Customizability:

Overall both the G5 and the Avatar had great customization compared to your average windows wizard properties with regular mice. Let’s see the final thoughts on this mouse:
