The Avatar S gaming mouse can be purchased with either black or white as the main color scheme. We will be testing the model that is white with black accenting today and if first impressions count for anything NZXT might just have a winner here.
The contrast between the two colors works very well making the Avatar S an eye grabber.
The body of the Avatar S offers a very sleek design and weighs considerably less then many gaming mice we have used in the past. On both sides of the Avatar S there is a molded area to rest the thumb, depending on which hand orientation we have the mouse set up for. Each side has a single programmable button and in the default configuration they function as forward and back buttons, when browsing the web.
The top of the Avatar S is a very simplistic design made up of nothing other then the left and right buttons and a scroll wheel. The scroll wheel also functions as a programmable button. The base of the Avatar S features 1600 DPI laser optics and has three raised areas that are Teflon coated to allow the mouse to glide on pretty much any type of surface.
The Avatar S has a very light weight cable and uses gold plating on the USB connector.
Here are two shots comparing the original Avatar to the new Avatar S. As we can see there is very little difference in the design. The Avatar S does not have the two buttons behind the scroll wheel and the body is lighter than the original Avatar.
