Gigabyte Aivia Xenon TouchPad Mouse Review

The software is based around gesture control, of which there are plenty.

All of the gestures can be customised in the various sections, as shown above. We found they worked well and will appeal to people who use gestures frequently on their laptop.

As we discussed earlier in the review, this mouse can be used in two different modes. Like an ordinary mouse and as a trackpad. [yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TBHEdeRPFU']

Above is a quick video we recorded on Windows 7 64 bit showing the mouse in ‘TouchPad mode, meaning you can use it in the same manner as a laptop trackpad. This may be useful for presentations, and even watching media files from a sofa with a computer connected to a television some distance away.

Again, we tested the mouse with an Apple Macintosh 17 inch computer running the latest OS X operating system. Both modes worked perfectly fine and it doesn't require a third party driver install.

  1. looks very cool, shame they didnt curve it slightly like the Apple Magic mouse, bet that would have helped.

  2. Nah im not impressed, its a nice idea, but we dont really need it. focus on the mouse options and improve the sensor etc.

  3. It seems similar to the Apple Magic, but I would prefer this more – it has that ‘futuristic architect’ appeal, much like the SoundBlaster Axx.

    But, since the top is as glossy as a grand piano I assume it will gather fingerprints.

  4. Hello. Yes it can get messy looking really quickly.

  5. Its quite an interesting product. I agree on the pricing, if they get it out for £30 ill pick one up just to see how it all works first hand. Might be more useful for a laptop, but its a shame they never built in a storage bay for the little wireless transmitter
