ASUS GX1000 Gaming Mouse
Project management? Programming? Prototyping? Planners and meetings? Study? In your highly intellectual working life, you, habrazhitel, will probably take small breaks in order to unload your consciousness and fill a couple of dozen frags into a counter or take part in another battle shoulder to shoulder with other members of your clan in DotA.
And if we talk about efficiency, and since you have finished your business and intend to have a good rest (eat a deserved carrot), then your rest should also be useful. And a good mouse is one of the important components in your brain relaxation, because it depends on how the computer understands your teams, how quickly your virtual hero will hide from bullets, or how accurately get into the terrorists seated on the box in Temka.
ASUS has a separate player-oriented brand - Republic of Gamers. Laptops, motherboards, video cards, sound cards, headsets and mice are manufactured under this brand. The hero of this review will be the mouse GX1000 Eagle Eye.

Features:
The size of the box in which the mouse is supplied is quite impressive. I even thought that besides the mouse there is something else.
On the front side there is the embossed Republic of Gamers logo, on the back side there are technical characteristics and designation of functions.
')
The inner part of the box is fixed with velcro - in order to open it, you need to pull the sidewall, and it will open with a characteristic crunch.
Under the transparent plastic - the mouse.
In general, the packaging creates a pleasant impression, as if in front of you a deluxe edition of some game. This box is not ashamed to give.
After unpacking the box, we see a rag mat and a sheet describing the main functions. There is no CD with software included. Distribution offer download from the site.
The design of the mouse is attractive: it has something from sports cars, a sort of mixture of metal, smooth outlines and sharp corners.
The mouse is completely symmetrical, so that it is suitable for left-handers and right-handers.
But left-handers will not be very comfortable to press additional buttons with their little fingers.
Someone seems to be a big mouse, but you quickly get used to its size. For example, I have been using Microsoft IntelliMouse 3.0 for many years - it’s rather big, the palm rests completely on it, so the hand quickly adapted to the GX1000.
The photo shows a comparison with the mouse from Microsoft and my old COM-Gen Genius.
The upper part of the mouse is covered with a metal insert. The left and right buttons are also made of metal. The remaining parts are made of matte and glossy plastic.
A click is made over the entire area of ​​the button. The thumb rests flat on the additional button. Just above are two more buttons. The scroll wheel has a nice rubberized surface.
Scrolling is comfortable with soft impact. Near a large button that allows you to change the resolution.
The length of the wire is about 1.8 m, the fabric is braided. Such a wire will be convenient for pro-gamers who participate in competitions and carry all the equipment with them - it will not get confused.
A laser sensor, sliding inserts and a profile change button are located on the bottom side of the mouse. Through the software, you can configure up to four different profiles that completely change the mouse settings. For example, a profile for a specific game or program. It will not be very convenient to constantly turn the mouse and press the button - you cannot do it with one hand. But, on the other hand, this can be done while loading the game.
As with most gaming mice, the GX1000 provides for weight control. Included is a small box the size of a flash drive with five weights, tablets of 5 g - only 25 g. Accordingly, you can increase the weight of the mouse from 150 to 175 g.
Click on the basket for weights and pull it out.
The mount looks like a cover on an old CD player - simple enough, but fragile, so be careful. For the correct insertion of the basket there are arrows.
The mat included in the kit turned out to be very fragrant. I had to hold his day on the balcony to give it a frosty freshness. Its size is 30 by 25 cm.
To use all the features of the mouse, you need to install special software . There is support for the Russian language. Also with software comes instruction in Russian. In the main window, the profile number 1 is immediately displayed. There are many settings, you can reassign all the buttons, except for the profile change button. You can even change the DPI shift button.
For all buttons, a number of standard options are offered, for example, emulation of pressing “Start”, changing the volume and so on.
Everything is simple and clear. The resolution-changing button has four levels - each time the button is pressed, the diode lights up and the number of the sensitivity level is clearly displayed. DPI can be set manually - enter the required parameter.
In addition, you can set the parameters on the X and Y axis. If you need a complex combination of keystrokes, you can record a macro and assign it to a key.
Actually, the name of the Eagle Eye mouse comes from the fact that the mouse has glowing “eagle eyes” on the sides. Depending on the profile, they change color.
If the first profile is selected, the “eyes” do not glow, if the second profile is installed, they glow red, the third and fourth - green and orange, respectively.
When the hand rests on the mouse, the light is slightly visible under the thumb.
The first time was not very comfortable to hold your thumb on the sharp corner of the "eye", but over time you stop noticing it.
I played in Battlefield 3 and Team Foretress 2, no problem. The sight is not trembling, there are no false positives, a couple of times abruptly jerking the mouse accidentally pressed an additional key, with time you get used to it.
In general, ASUS has turned out an interesting product. Stylish and unusual design will attract the attention of users. Gamers will be interested in good sensor resolution performance. An interesting selection of materials is well reflected in the appearance of the mouse. The metal insert pleasantly cools the hand, and the wire with fabric braid is well fixed on the table. Disadvantages in the form of a rug and an unusual grip are solved, so that in general the device turned out quite successful.
The average price of GX1000 is 3 thousand rubles.
And if we talk about efficiency, and since you have finished your business and intend to have a good rest (eat a deserved carrot), then your rest should also be useful.
