Installation
No
drivers are required for Window XP but installing them adds a mouse icon to
the systray that will allow you to make adjustments and set the function of
your wheel button.
Performance
The
Auravision Laser Mouse may not offer all the bells and whistles seen in other
mice but it does offer one very important one, excellent tracking.
Thanks to its 800 dpi resolution, the Laser Mouse excels in this category.
When testing it on some high performance optical mouse pads such as the
Steelpad and Ratpad, the mouse performed flawlessly. So good in
fact, that we had to adjust the sensitivity within Windows.

The
Laser Mouse looks just as great in dim lighting. The deep blue sapphire
glow from the scroll wheel is very similar to that of the EluminX keyboard and
compliments it quite nicely. The semi-transparent bottom allows the red
optical lighting to shine through the rear and the blue glow from the wheel
through the sides. Looks very nice. I would like to add that
the wheel itself functions quite nicely. It's smooth and silent.
Very similar feel to most Logitech mice.
Conclusion
We were generally quite impressed with this new
mouse from Auravision. Not only does it offer a sleek new and innovative
design, it also offers superb tracking. Its performance was excellent on
all the mousing surfaces we tried it on. It may not offer other features
such as extra buttons, but it makes up for it with its cool blue glow and
highly attractive design that should appeal to case modders or those with blue
lighting in their setup. As you know, no product is perfect and we did
have one minor gripe with the Laser Mouse. The left and right buttons
are very noisy. If you're particularly picky about the clicking noise of
your mouse, then this may be an issue. Aside from that, the wheel itself
feels very nice and smooth and is almost silent.
The Auravision Laser Mouse is competitively
priced. You can pick one up directly from
Auravision for only $30.
It also seems that Auravision is currently having a free shipping promo on all
their products through the end of the year.
