1
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:13,440
with its Factory tuning and data center DNA an Intel 730 series SSD is an

2
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:17,400
amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts now Gigabyte

3
00:00:15,799 --> 00:00:20,600
never really caught my attention with their peripherals in the past and that's

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,240
the reason we haven't covered them much but this one right here is a little bit

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:29,519
different this is the Avia uranium wireless gaming mouse with ghost macro

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:34,760
station and there are some things about it that are moderately interesting so

7
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:37,000
the mouse itself has a 6,500 DPI twin

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:41,360
eye gaming laser sensor it can handle a th000 HZ pulling rate the maximum that

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:45,079
you can do with USB 2 it can handle 50 hours of continuous battery life with

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,480
its two doublea batteries mean you can easily swap them out in an emergency or

11
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:52,480
whatever else the case may be but you don't even have to do that in an emergency because it's got a nice

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:57,280
lightweight cord here that you can go ahead and run to the mouse and you can actually use it as a Wired Mouse while

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:01,320
it charges none of these things are really groundbreaking but the

14
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:06,000
groundbreaking thing is is the ghost macro station right here that actually

15
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:11,680
has a full-on OLED display that you can use to navigate the uh onboard menus and

16
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:15,960
make a ton of changes to the mouse itself without even firing up the

17
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,840
software but first let's take a bit of a visual tour of the mouse itself so at

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,439
the front we've got the charging port that plugs into that nice lightweight

19
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:26,720
cable I talked about before on the right hand side we find not a whole lot of

20
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,759
anything other than a slightly textured but still a little bit more slippery

21
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:36,680
than I'd like plastic finish at the back we find its butt so to speak okay and

22
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:40,520
then on the left hand side we've got four G buttons to which are bound to

23
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,399
forward and back by default two of which are completely Unbound but any of which

24
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,640
you can bind to whatever you could possibly want on the bottom we find a

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:52,640
couple of slippy pads for to be precise there are some extra ones in the Box

26
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:57,039
should you so require as well as that 6500 DPI Twi ey laser sensor we've also

27
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,520
got a connect button which you probably won't even need to use unless something disastrous happens and onoff switch and

28
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:06,159
those two nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries that are included

29
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:09,440
with the mouse a very nice touch on the top we find a scroll wheel that also

30
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,239
supports tilt functionality something I'm not a huge fan of because my lazy

31
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:16,920
Mouse posture causes me to accidentally hit it all the time but lots of people

32
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,599
really like it as well as a rocker switch right here that's you can use for

33
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:26,319
on the-fly DPI adjustments or whatever you want a wheel controller lock that

34
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,640
you can use to control the wheel lock

35
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:34,400
that changes it from being a mouse wheel to being navig for this right here and

36
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:38,160
finally a profile switching button what I have to say about the ergonomics are a

37
00:02:35,959 --> 00:02:41,959
couple of things on the side and these ones to the left of your index finger

38
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,599
they're all surprisingly easy to reach I particularly like the layout of G4 it's

39
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:49,840
a very large button and you can either press it with the tip of your thumb or

40
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:54,159
just roll onto it with the base of your thumb pretty much anyone should be able

41
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,879
to access it to however the buttons under the Palm do continue to baffle me

42
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,879
these ones make a little bit more sense cuz it's just a profile switcher and

43
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:06,599
then like a navigation lck here so presumably you're not gaming while you're like configuring your mouse or

44
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:10,080
whatever else so it's better than usual but I still don't particularly like them

45
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:16,560
and then on the right hand side the thing that bothered me here was that the

46
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:19,080
mouse is just too heavy to claw grip and

47
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,400
then unfortunately even with my small hands my pinky hangs off the side of the

48
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:28,439
mouse if I try to Palm it so I really just had a hard time gripping the mouse

49
00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:32,120
in a way that was that comfortable and it's unfortunate that it had has that

50
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,920
particular drawback because there are some other things about it that are

51
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:40,799
really cool many of which pertain to the

52
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:43,360
uh ghost macro station itself so moving

53
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:48,720
on to that it has an extremely bright easyto read OLED display that can have a

54
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:51,239
ghost logo on it or your own creation

55
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,560
whether it's a bit map or even handrawn on with the mouse itself something that

56
00:03:52,959 --> 00:04:00,079
I spent more of the time you know while I was working on this review doing than

57
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,959
I probably should have it's got on board memory for macros and Gigabyte claims

58
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,959
and it's like a patent pending technology for flawless performance

59
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:11,840
speaking of performance I had absolutely no complaints about it I didn't notice

60
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:17,600
any lag or any jumping even on a high resolution 2560 X 1440 monitor uh it's

61
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:22,479
got a live editing mode this is cool no software required all you have to do is

62
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:28,320
press that wheel lock button and then you can use the mouse wheel as a d-pad

63
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:30,000
to navigate forward back up and down to

64
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,880
the menus then you click to confirm your changes and you can change all kinds of

65
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,680
stuff like DPI values you can edit profiles switch profile well you can do

66
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:43,160
that through the mouse but you can could switch profiles if you wanted to you can assign basic remapped functionality

67
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,720
keymapping functionality so you can bind keyboard functions to your mouse and you

68
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:52,919
can even assign macros and all that kind of stuff so software is available and

69
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:57,240
includes more functionalities such as more granular DPI control and a pretty

70
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,160
robust macro editor as well as the aforementioned drawing utility for the

71
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:04,919
screen saver uh but if you you don't actually

72
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:09,120
need to use the software to have really good control of the mouse all the time

73
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,919
if you don't want to I did mention before the nice lightweight charging

74
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:16,160
cord I can't emphasize this enough that's a really good feature to have for

75
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:20,720
a mouse that's supposed to be Wireless most of the time and then finally the

76
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:25,240
little Ava logo on the bottom has five different colors which indicate which

77
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:28,479
profile you're operating in this is kind of cool as much as I might have

78
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:32,680
complained about the ergonomics of the mouse for myself on their website they

79
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:37,680
actually have a hand Comfort guide and do recommend a hand size so um I usually

80
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,280
I'd call Luke down to be like yeah here's what his hand looks like on it here's what my hand looks like on it you

81
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,919
know what just head over to their website see if it's a if it's a good fit

82
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:51,199
for you and on their website also what I noticed is there's a lot of marketing

83
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,240
around the 4K Readiness of this Mouse um

84
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:59,680
something that I thought was a little bit weird but it's actually a very interesting point when I finally

85
00:05:56,199 --> 00:06:02,000
upgraded from my MX Duo I only did it

86
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:07,039
because I went from my CRT monitor which I ran at uh 1280 by 1024 or 960 or

87
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:12,720
whatever it was to maintain the proper aspect ratio I went from that to a 1920

88
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:17,160
by 1200 Monitor and I was like oh the DPI is not high enough so that is an

89
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:21,080
argument for higher DPI mice however this one isn't particularly more 4K

90
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,479
ready than other high DPI mice and I just want to make sure I clarify that

91
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:29,800
also included in the box is a cleaning cloth the extra Mouse feet that I

92
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:32,319
mentioned before an Ava you know Club an

93
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,840
AA club membership card there's Mouse as well as a user's guide and then the

94
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:39,800
rechargeable batteries that I have in the mouse already guys thank you for
