Hippus & NZXT Mouse Reviews


Tue 2008-12-09 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
DriverHeaven and Techgage have posted reviews of the Hippus HandshoeMouse and NZXT Avatar mice.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • DriverHeaven: Hippus HandshoeMouse:

    "The HandshoeMouse is certainly an unusual product and is in a different league from any other ergonomic mice we’ve seen or used before. There has clearly been a lot of effort put into the design and it has really paid off. The mouse is incredibly comfortable to operate and provides an extraordinarily relaxing experience. It may not be suitable for gaming but for any other tasks it is a fantastic mouse.

    At €120 (~£100 at time of press) the HandshoeMouse comes in at a hefty price, which will certainly put off a lot of curious eyes. However, for those are worried about conditions such as RSI and those who will value the comfort it offers, the HandshoeMouse is an ideal product. Even after hours of use it will still provide safe and effortless operation for the user. Additionally, the product may be invaluable to people who suffer from conditions such as arthritis by enabling them to use their computer in comfort."

  • Techgage: NZXT Avatar Gaming Mouse:

    "Overall, this is a good-quality mouse, and I was surprised by how impressed I was with NZXT's first attempt at a gaming peripheral. Offering flexibility, speed and style, you can now affordably frag your friends with silky smoothness. The ability to switch on the fly easily without having to flip the mouse over makes the 2600 DPI Avatar a worthy choice for a gaming enthusiast... as long as you don't mind a lightweight offering."

Both of these are decent mice, but the HandshoeMouse is definitely a unique mouse the likes of which I've never seen before. Now if only it had a gaming-suitable DPI rating...
