Gigabyte Aivia Krypton Gaming Mouse Review

The Krypton Mouse

The mouse that we use for our computers is probably the most important tool we use to interface with our computers. And when it comes to doing various tasks on our computers, we rely heavily on our mouse to be smooth, and provide us with precise movements. Then we need to consider that as our resolution of our desktops start to increase, our mice need to be able to transition from one side of the screen to the other in one easy fluidic movement, that does not require us to keep resetting the mouse; meaning that as we hit the edge of our mousing surface we have to pick up the mouse and move it back to the opposite side of the mouse pad so we can continue transitioning across our large desktop.

This is where adjustable, high DPI mice come into play; these types of mice gives us the ability of smooth, fluid like transitioning across our desktops while allowing us pin point accuracy for our various programs we use with our computers.

Gigabyte has been expanding their computer manufacturing portfolio into computer peripherals for a couple of years now, and one of these computer peripherals that Gigabyte happens to provide us with a fully adjustable, high DPI mouse. We just so happen to be looking at Gigabytes newest addition, the Krypton.
