Azio GM-2000 Gaming Mouse Review

2013-03-28
hey guys and welcome back and when it comes to gaming mice we do get the wide variety of options to choose from many of which incorporate different lighting options adjustable design both on economics and software but of course this usually means higher prices so we're checking out a wallet-friendly alternative from azo the GM 2000 now we've come to expect less features on more affordable products but how does it hold its true purpose and gaming well let's find out so starting off with the size and shape I would say this is a more suited for smaller hands partially because the mouse is super light and because of its small size there isn't much palm support for those of you cloth type gamers this will work well and also quite comfortable but for palm time grip and large hands it does not feel natural now notice the mouse is symmetrical unfortunately only available for right-handed users it would be awesome to have another set of buttons on the right side to cover left-handed users now the mouse exterior is covered in rubberized surface although we do get these shiny bits on the top and on the sides then they're quite slippery and don't really help with a secure grip the build quality is not fantastic it is made entirely of light plastic so you do get what you pay for so this is a 5 button Mouse a pretty standard with your left and right click the scroll wheel dpi change button and your browser buttons on the side the scroll wheel does provide feedback and is textured the DPI button is quick to access and we have three dpi settings that are programmed in and cannot be changed now there's no software or drivers for the spouse it's just plug and play so the three dpi settings include 800 1600 and 2000 dpi which is the maximum after all it is in the name now on the one hand this is a good range I personally never go above 2,000 even when gaming but there are many who prefer any more sensitive Mouse for FPS titles and like to configure their own dpi settings so the lack of software may be a deal-breaker for many and the brightness of the LED in front the DPI Change button indicates with dpi setting here using now on the topic of lighting the GM mm does achieve this gaming look both of the sides are lit along with the logo at the back the color cannot be changed unfortunately neither can it be turned off but that shouldn't be an issue unless you're concerned about matching colors of all you gaining gear now if you look at the bottom you can see the rear of the mouse is a lot wider it's sort of shaped like a pear and it says most pressure comes to the front of the mouse because of your left and right click combining this mouse with a softer mouse pad might give you a little trouble and testing this mouse with multiple different surfaces I found that works best on harder surfaces simply because the mouse would tilt forward on softer surface and completely disturb your movement and I think there's a major flaw and Asia should have just widen the front just a little bit to keep the mouse a bit more stable now in the harder surfaces the mouse does not sync and it works really well now another issue of found was with the browser buttons the back button wasn't always recognized even though it clicked and applying a bit more pressure seemed to solve the problem now it comes to gaming the mouse performed pretty well my only issue is that you can't be very precise with your aim because the mouse is so light so when it comes to really narrowing down your sights you might have trouble getting that right hit now after doing a bit of gaming I really wish there would be an even lower dpi setting as 800 dpi seemed a bit too sensitive due to its light weight so compensating with lower dpi setting would be more ideal so overall this a decent budget alternative for a gaming mouse we do get on a fly dpi change and the settings are configured pretty the side buttons are appropriately sized and are in comfortable to reach spot and the mouse offers great support for cloth type gamers with smaller hands now we understand this a budget product and we're not asking for accessory pouches nor fancy software but sensor tracking is crucial and I was a little disappointed with it I really wish there was a lower dpi setting to compensate for its light weight for palm type grip you don't get much real estate to rest your hands so you might look elsewhere now the lack of software may be a deal-breaker as you really can't adjust to your optimal settings and there are a lot of mice at this price range that come with that feature also the size of the mouse are glossy and do not help with the secure grip so although the GM mm gives us the basics when it comes to gaming and perhaps that is all you need it does have a specific ergonomic design that might not appeal to palm grippers but it certainly should be a consideration for claw type gamers on the budget so thanks guys for watching and we'll see you next
