What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
(II. ii. 42-43).
This quote taken from 'Romeo and Juliet', and is spoken by Juliet. In this, Juliet is questioning why her love of her life is also from the family of her enemies. While most of us have read Romeo and Juliet in their earlier days, Juliet does bring up a good point. What is in a name? Not only humans, but companies also have their own sub-branding. For example Canon cameras have the Powershot/ELPH line for consumers, Rebel line for enthusiasts, and their EOS (Double digit and lower) for prosumers and professionals. But do these name even matter? Obviously, not so much, as Canon has started to merge names, like the EOS M, a compact system camera whose image quality lacks in comparison to any of the EOS DSLRs. So when Gigabyte was deciding a name for their next product, an air mouse, they decided to throw it under the sub-branding of Aivia. If anyone looks at other Gigabyte Aivia products, they will find a common trend: A gaming product with a unique or new design. Unlike Gigabyte’s Force lineup, these products are not only meant to game hard with, but to look good in the process. However, the Aivia Neon is not by any means a gaming mouse. Released in April 2013, this air presenter mouse's main purpose was to function well in the office or in a classroom. So what happens when Gigabyte decides to throw such an object into the Aivia branding? I guess we’ll have to read on to find out!
Gigabyte are one of the top manufacturers in the industry, famed for their motherboards especially, I myself use Gigabyte hardware in my system and there is a good chance that you do too, or have done in the past. Yet while many people think of Gigabyte for their internal hardware components, it is sometimes easy to forget that they have some fantastic peripherals too and their Aivia range is widely known to offer premium products, often with some pretty cool features.
The mouse we are looking at today is a little different from what we normally see from a high end mouse product, there is zero focus on this being gaming product, because it isn’t one. This is a mouse for business and presentations, for those who need to be mobile while presenting information and with features such as an “air mouse” and laser pointer, as well as screen writing tools, the Gigabyte Aivia Neon could be the ultimate solution for presentations where you’re using your computer via a projector, or on a large screen, allowing you to walk around and use your mouse without a desk, but how well does it work? That is the real important questions and there are clearly some challenges involved here, so lets get straight to it and see what the Neon has to offer.
The Aivia Neon is a hybrid between a conventional wireless mouse and an air presenter. It works both on the table and in the air, changing functions with the press of a button and a flick of the wrist. Besides the double duty, it also features a laser pointer. We will first describe its unusual body design and then examine its performance.
First impressions last. That's the first thing you'll think of when looking at the GIGABYTE Aivia M8600 Wireless Macro Gaming Mouse. It's quite striking to look at; to hold on the other hand is a different argument. I use as my everyday mouse a Razer Mamba and it's quite curved; the GIGABYTE Aivia M8600 mouse has a high ridge where your palm rests which can be annoying - you may ask why I'm starting off with a negative?
The Aivia M8600 is a new wireless gaming mouse from Gigabyte, a high end model with a number of innovative features that set it aside from the competition. Let's take a closer look at what the Aivia M8600 has to offer.
Gamers usually shun wireless peripherals, always wary of a possible energy loss. No one wants to rummage around for a cable and lose an online match. With that in mind, Gigabyte has released a wireless gaming-grade mouse with a long lasting 50 hour battery that comes with an extra battery that you can rapidly switch. Besides those characteristics, the Aivia M8600 reaches 6,500 DPI and features a design for both right- and left-handed users, plus ten reprogrammable buttons. Let's talk first about its physical aspects and then test its wireless operation.
The Aivia M8600 Wireless Macro Gaming Mouse is absolutely riddled with features. During testing I found the responsiveness the best I have ever experienced. This is the first mouse I had to dial down from max resolution for gaming. The software is clean and easy to use making regular tasks smooth and macro programming as simple as I have seen.
Back towards the start of the year, we took a look at Gigabytes Aivia Gaming Keyboard which took us by surprise as to how well it performed in comparison to its other rivals on the market. Gigabyte have now paired up this keyboard with the Aivia M6800 macro gaming mouse to penetrate into both sides of the gamers needs - a high performance keyboard and mouse.
The Aivia line presents an ambidextrous mouse with 8,200 dpi of resolution and an innovative system of interchangeable under plates. Read our evaluation.
Gigabyte has came out with a mouse that has an extremely high DPI resolution of 8200. And, on top of having a high DPI the Gigabyte Krypton mouse is fully customizable to our individual needs. Everything from adjusting the weight, to customizing all of the buttons of this mouse to specific computing tasks. Step inside and see what the Gigabyte Krypton Mouse has to offer us.
