Arm3D and PureOverclock have posted reviews of two lesser-known gaming mice, the Nova SliderX 600 and the NZXT Avatar.

Here's what they had to say:

  • Arm3D: Nova SliderX 600 Gaming Mouse‏ Review:

    "The Slider itself looks very impressive, and defiantly not like most of the mice on the market today. On the one side you can see some flashy buttons along with, well, some flashy lights too! The larger buttons are used like the standard gaming mice buttons, and can be customised to suit your needs through a variety of options. This is done using the provided program which is well laid out and easy to use. The two smaller buttons are used to adjust the scroll speed of the mouse. I found these really useful and they saved a lot of time saving me from having to fiddle with a program like I would have to do with some other mice. The scroll speed is also shown by the 3 LED's in between the buttons. These show the current level that the scroll speed is set on (1.2 or 3), which again, is a really good feature! "

  • PureOverclock: NZXT Avatar Gaming Mouse Review:

    "The Avatar is NZXT's first foray into the extremely competitve gaming mouse market, traditionally dominated by two or perhaps three companies. A tall order, to be sure for NZXT, but the Avatar was a pleasant surprise, a unheralded gem of a mouse.

    The Avatar features a solid selection of buttons, a simple and straightforward setup, elegant and stylish aesthetics in a no-nonsense package, and all at a reasonable price for the gaming market segment. Consumers, and gamers in particular, want a mouse not only to work well, but to work simply. And the Avatar does just that, allowing just about anyone to slip it on for size and just move effortlessly from the get-go."

There is nothing inherently flawed with either of these mice, so if you are in market for a new input device they are certainly worthy of further investigation.
