NZXT Announces Avatar S Gaming Mouse
NZXT, a company built on realizing the dreams of gamers worldwide, is proud to announce Avatar S, the latest addition to their award-winning line of gaming mice. Avatar S empowers PC Gamers and enthusiasts with simple, precise gaming control, and an array of intuitive, innovative features. Similar to the original Avatar, Avatar S is sleek and stealthy in design boasting an ambidextrous, low profile, light form factor crafted with Teflon feet ideal for making quick powerful movements on any surface.
Avatar S enables complete personalization with a DPI switch that adjusts 1600/800/400DPI in-game without the hassle of downloading different drivers. Gamers can also custom configure in-game macros, 5 media keys, X-Y sensitivity, and LED lighting and then save the personalized settings onto the onboard 16Kb memory making it an ideal solution for on-the-go gaming.
"We designed Avatar S as an intuitive solution that gives gamers maximum personalization with minimum hassle" said Johnny Hou, Founder and Chief Designer at NZXT. "Your profile settings can be easily configured and then saved onto the onboard memory in case you game on multiple rigs. When gearing up at a LAN party, the last thing gamers should have to worry about is whether or not their mouse is configured correctly. Avatar S eliminates that headache."

1600/800/400 DPI...
WTF in their right mind games at 400 DPI? :roll:
Minesweep?
i still have an old deathadder at 1800dpi why is everyone getting these insane 5000 dpi mouses, its not even practical.
Nice to see another mouse for a lefty but it's a shame it lacks buttons. And depending on what i am playing i like any thing from 800-32000dpi according to the XAI mouse i have.
I also have 'complete personalisation with a DPI switch' but the only difference is "I" get to set my DPI at what i want anywhere between 300-5700DPI. its not full personalisation if you lock the most important thing about the mouse down so players cant change it to their own preferd DPI. what a bum move

Its like advertising a 'free' lunch then charging them $1 for aheads (stuff like logistics, administration and cleaning up)
1600dpi isn't fast enough for anything @1080p and beyond
1600dpi is imo overkill for anything below 2560x1600
that's the reason I scrapped my old 800dpi mouse.
to each there own gaming mice are like toppings on a pizza everyone likes something different lol
I think not much ppl know why, well here is why. Our "over-DPied" mices have few faults, most of them has some sort of acceleration (positive or negative), some of them have Z-tracking or other problems (like random DPi switch, my favorite :D). But biggest is, that cause sensor in them has bit insane density, they need HW corrections to even work properly.. so if you take low-DPi sensor, it can probably work without those HW corrections, and if made right it can be much more accurate then any high DPi sensor.
But thats just theory..
Otherwise, 1600 DPi isnt problem to use. Though I have G9x ofc. :D
I find that different dpi are good for the various ways that people handle a mouse: claw grip, palm grip or finger grip. Just depends on how you actually move it too, like if you move it far across the desk or just a little.
For me i just move it only a little and i claw grip with my fingers so i like a semi high sensitivity because of the style i use. That also effects which mouse i use.
I hate people who skide their mouse across the desk like an idiot because they use a palm grip. Nothing wrong with a palm grip you just need a decent sensitivity and learn to control it so your not moving it as far. I think they move it across the desk because they normally use cheap OEM mice like dell or something.
