WEBVTT

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:13.440
with its Factory tuning and data center DNA an Intel 730 series SSD is an

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:17.400
amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts now Gigabyte

00:00:15.799 --> 00:00:20.600
never really caught my attention with their peripherals in the past and that's

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

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:29.519
different this is the Avia uranium wireless gaming mouse with ghost macro

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:34.760
station and there are some things about it that are moderately interesting so

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:37.000
the mouse itself has a 6,500 DPI twin

00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:41.360
eye gaming laser sensor it can handle a th000 HZ pulling rate the maximum that

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:45.079
you can do with USB 2 it can handle 50 hours of continuous battery life with

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.480
its two doublea batteries mean you can easily swap them out in an emergency or

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

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

00:00:55.160 --> 00:01:01.320
it charges none of these things are really groundbreaking but the

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:06.000
groundbreaking thing is is the ghost macro station right here that actually

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

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:15.960
make a ton of changes to the mouse itself without even firing up the

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

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:23.439
the front we've got the charging port that plugs into that nice lightweight

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

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:30.759
anything other than a slightly textured but still a little bit more slippery

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

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

00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:44.399
forward and back by default two of which are completely Unbound but any of which

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:48.640
you can bind to whatever you could possibly want on the bottom we find a

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.640
couple of slippy pads for to be precise there are some extra ones in the Box

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

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

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.159
those two nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries that are included

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

00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:13.239
supports tilt functionality something I'm not a huge fan of because my lazy

00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:16.920
Mouse posture causes me to accidentally hit it all the time but lots of people

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

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:26.319
on the-fly DPI adjustments or whatever you want a wheel controller lock that

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.640
you can use to control the wheel lock

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:34.400
that changes it from being a mouse wheel to being navig for this right here and

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:38.160
finally a profile switching button what I have to say about the ergonomics are a

00:02:35.959 --> 00:02:41.959
couple of things on the side and these ones to the left of your index finger

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:46.599
they're all surprisingly easy to reach I particularly like the layout of G4 it's

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

00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:54.159
just roll onto it with the base of your thumb pretty much anyone should be able

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:57.879
to access it to however the buttons under the Palm do continue to baffle me

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.879
these ones make a little bit more sense cuz it's just a profile switcher and

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

00:03:04.519 --> 00:03:10.080
whatever else so it's better than usual but I still don't particularly like them

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:16.560
and then on the right hand side the thing that bothered me here was that the

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:19.080
mouse is just too heavy to claw grip and

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:23.400
then unfortunately even with my small hands my pinky hangs off the side of the

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

00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:32.120
in a way that was that comfortable and it's unfortunate that it had has that

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:36.920
particular drawback because there are some other things about it that are

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:40.799
really cool many of which pertain to the

00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:43.360
uh ghost macro station itself so moving

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:48.720
on to that it has an extremely bright easyto read OLED display that can have a

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:51.239
ghost logo on it or your own creation

00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:55.560
whether it's a bit map or even handrawn on with the mouse itself something that

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

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.959
I probably should have it's got on board memory for macros and Gigabyte claims

00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:07.959
and it's like a patent pending technology for flawless performance

00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:11.840
speaking of performance I had absolutely no complaints about it I didn't notice

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

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

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

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:30.000
to navigate forward back up and down to

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:33.880
the menus then you click to confirm your changes and you can change all kinds of

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:36.680
stuff like DPI values you can edit profiles switch profile well you can do

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

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:47.720
keymapping functionality so you can bind keyboard functions to your mouse and you

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:52.919
can even assign macros and all that kind of stuff so software is available and

00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:57.240
includes more functionalities such as more granular DPI control and a pretty

00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.160
robust macro editor as well as the aforementioned drawing utility for the

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:04.919
screen saver uh but if you you don't actually

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.120
need to use the software to have really good control of the mouse all the time

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:12.919
if you don't want to I did mention before the nice lightweight charging

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:16.160
cord I can't emphasize this enough that's a really good feature to have for

00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:20.720
a mouse that's supposed to be Wireless most of the time and then finally the

00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:25.240
little Ava logo on the bottom has five different colors which indicate which

00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:28.479
profile you're operating in this is kind of cool as much as I might have

00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:32.680
complained about the ergonomics of the mouse for myself on their website they

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:37.680
actually have a hand Comfort guide and do recommend a hand size so um I usually

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

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

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

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:52.240
around the 4K Readiness of this Mouse um

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

00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:02.000
upgraded from my MX Duo I only did it

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

00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:12.720
whatever it was to maintain the proper aspect ratio I went from that to a 1920

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

00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:21.080
argument for higher DPI mice however this one isn't particularly more 4K

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:24.479
ready than other high DPI mice and I just want to make sure I clarify that

00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:29.800
also included in the box is a cleaning cloth the extra Mouse feet that I

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:32.319
mentioned before an Ava you know Club an

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

00:06:34.280 --> 00:06:39.800
rechargeable batteries that I have in the mouse already guys thank you for
