Exclusive: Unwilling to divulge details on Gigabyte's first multi-touch accessory, we had to jump through a few hoops to get an early look on the company's latest gaming mouse: the Aivia Xenon.

Nothing about this makes it a gaming mouse.. its a business/design mouse.

Neat.

innovative

Gay.

I'm with Krawler on this one. Also, I've dropped my mice plenty of times, I'm leery of that touch surface.

Track pad functionality would be going in reverse. Looks expensive and uncomfortable to use as a regular mouse. Likely much cheaper than a touch display though.

True, true.

Multitouch gestures are great, but this thing doesn't look very ergonomic.
+ it's going to have the same problem as Apple Magic Mouse: Awkward right click. Some people like it, some don't.

Looks uncomfortable. A fish might be able to use it with their flat fins, but never seen a fish use a computer

 

[rohitbaran]

That screen is so flat. Won't it be rather unergonomic?

What is that? A Brick?

Good comments.

"The mouse can be switched into several different modes, from multi-touch trackpad, to presentation mode, and then a painting-pad."
what's any of that have to do with gaming?

 

[zak_mckraken]

Looks awkward to manipulate.

WTF? I didn't see a single rainbow on it and there was absolutely no mention of specialized modes for musicals or parades.... how did your Gaydar pick it up?

I disagree with Krawler completely. He seems slightly retarded in his mannerisms. It just seems like this mouse would be perfect for gaming, especially when i play WoW or other REAL games, unlike childish games like Duke Nukem, where his masochist ways are clearly textbook immature.

1) Don't call people retarded on our boards/comment threads, please.
2) How is WoW more "real" than DNF? Both are video games; one is about a mythical world where elves battle orcs, and the other is about an egomaniac who battles aliens that look like boars. Neither is an accurate representation of the "real" world. Relax, please.

Gaming mouse for possibly point-and-click games... However, severe handicap for many fps games out there... Couldn't imagine using this for Mass Effect. But for Starcraft, very plausible. Maybe even some mmo's too, but unless they make it totally customizable, I can't agree that this is purely for gaming.

 

[macewrox]

This is not a gaming mouse, but I wouldn't mind it for browsing and effin around.

 

[eddieroolz]

I highly doubt that this is a gaming mouse.
