There are lots of variations on thegaming mouse, but sometimes a basic design works best. The Mionix Avior 7000 ($69.99) is an ambidextrous model with customizable functions and glowing LED accents. It's a mouse with a lot of customizations, despite the utilitarian design and comfortable shape and feel. While the Editors' ChoiceCorsair M65 RGB Laser Gaming Mouse($38.88 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window)提供了一个更好的设计n and similar customization for a similar price, the Avior 7000($68.91 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window)is a nice alternative, particularly for left-handed users.
Design
The Avior 7000 is an ambidextrous gaming mouse, in the same vein as theLogitech G302 Daedalus Prime($34.99 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window)or theCM Storm Recon( at Amazon)(Opens in a new window). Measuring 1.44 by 2.56 by 4.93 inches (HWD), the Avior 700 is well-suited to both claw and palm-grip styles, and its weight of 5.3 ounces is fairly comfortable, though it is a bit heavier than both of the aforementioned mice. The mouse has a luxurious, soft-touch coating that helps keep hands dry, but it does tend to show grease spots at points of high contact. The mouse connects via USB 2.0, with a 6.5-foot braided cable, which includes a ferrite choke on the cable to prevent any interference.
The mouse has nine buttons total, with
the usual right and left buttons, two left thumb buttons (forward and back buttons by default), two right thumb buttons (disabled by default for right-handed users), a clickable scroll wheel, and two DPI adjustment buttons set just behind the scroll wheel. While that's not as many options as the button-festoonedLogitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse($176.00 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window), it's still has a fair number of customizations and macro controls available. The symmetrical design has a thumb contour on both sides of the mouse, making it ergonomic for either hand to use, unlike right-handed mice like the Corsair M65 RGB.
Features
鼠标使用一个与s - 3310 gaming-grade光学ensor, an optical sensor with up to 7,000dpi sensitivity and zero hardware acceleration. It's ideal for precise control and Mionix lets you take things further with all sorts of customizable settings. The Avior 7000 has a 32-bit ARM processor and 128Kb of built-in memory, which execute and store all of the custom presets, macros, and settings you can tweak on the mouse. The accompanying software is Windows-compatible, but on Mac or Linux systems, the mouse will be limited to plug-and-play features.

The mouse will store up to five unique profiles, each with custom settings. Using the free customization software from Mionix, you can adjust all sorts of things on the mouse, from the color of the glowing LEDS to the sensitivity of the sensor (between 50dpi and 7,000dpi in 50dpi increments), and even angle tuning to account for how you hold the mouse. You can also change the polling rate, selecting between 1,000Hz, 500Hz, 250Hz, or 125Hz (which translates into a response of 1, 2, 4 or 8 milliseconds, respectively). This is usually only something you'll want to change if you seem to notice some smoothness issues, but most gamers will want to stick to the 1,000Hz rate for maximum accuracy.
Glowing accents illuminate both the scroll wheel and logo of the mouse, similar to the lighting on the CM Storm Recon and theRazer Taipan. Both can be set to use different lighting effects (Solid, Blinking, Breathing, and Pulsating), and you can either specify from an RGB rainbow of 16.8 million colors and shades, or you can set the lighting to shift from one color to the next at random.
You can also make several adjustments to the sensitivity of the mouse, from the aforementioned sensitivity to angle snapping and tuning, letting you correct for holding the mouse at an angle, or calibrating for lift-off distance in case you tend to lift or tilt the mouse when things really get going in a game. There's also a Surface Quality Analyzer Tool (Mionix calls it S.Q.A.T. for short), which lets you measure the tracking quality of your gaming surface, but it's really only useful for determining which mouse pad or surface works best for the mouse if you have multiples. Mionix covers the Avior 7000 with a one-year warranty.
Performance
Over the course of two weeks, I've used the Avior 7000 in everything from day-to-day work tasks to gaming sessions in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Batman Arkham Origins. Whether I was selecting individual pixels in Photoshop, taking down terrorists in Counter-Strike, or gliding between buildings as Batman, the mouse worked very well.
The adjustable sensitivity is great, with three preset settings that can be cycled through with the two buttons set behind the scroll wheel. With up to 7,000dpi, you can zoom across wide expanses quickly, or you can dial the sensitivity down to a crawl, which is perfect for the fine control you need when lining up a sniper shot. The mouse shape is comfortable, and the buttons are laid out quite well. The sensor did have some difficulties on some surfaces, namely bright or glossy finishes, but that's common for optical sensors—a laser sensor is needed if you want to use a mouse on glass or similarly shiny surfaces.
Conclusion
的Mionix Avior 7000是一个不错的游戏鼠标,with an ambidextrous design and a range of customizations that let you tweak it to match your needs. Unfortunately, compared with similar mice, like the Logitech G302 Daedalus Prime or the CM Storm Recon, it's a bit on the pricey side, and at this price, you could just as easily pick up the Editors' Choice Corsair M65 RGB Laser Gaming Mouse.
The Mionix Avior 7000 is an ambidextrous gaming mouse with a comfortable design and plenty of customizable features.
