The Gigabyte Aivia Xenon mouse arrives in a fairly large black cardboard box with a high resolution image of the product on the front. It is certainly eyecatching, with the piano black shiny glass style surface taking centerstage along the top.
The back of the box highlights the fact that this is the ‘world's first ever dual mode touchpad mouse'. There are three diagrams explaining the intuitional gestures, free scrolling and dual mode. More on these later.
The outer shell of the box slides out exposing the main package. This is thick cardboard and opens up to reveal the mouse and accessories. Inside is a quick user guide, two AAA Duracell batteries and the wireless receiver. Unfortunately there is no place in the body to store the tiny receiver. This would help for people using a laptop system on the move.
The Quick guide is well written and explains all the aspects of the mouse interface. There is no software included, however you can grab it directly from the website, over here.
looks very cool, shame they didnt curve it slightly like the Apple Magic mouse, bet that would have helped.
Nah im not impressed, its a nice idea, but we dont really need it. focus on the mouse options and improve the sensor etc.
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.
Hello. Yes it can get messy looking really quickly.
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
