Aorus m2 review in Spanish (full analysis)

Just a few hours ago, Gigabyte announced the launch of AORUS M2, a 6200 DPI Pixart 3327 optical sensor gaming mouse weighing just 76 grams. Designed to give maximum benefits in games both right and left-handed since it is an ambidextrous mouse that supports Palm and Claw Grip. It has RGB Fusion lighting and the ability to customize buttons, macros through its software.

First of all, we must thank AORUS for the transfer of the product and also for their trust in us to make this review.

AORUS M2 technical characteristics

Unboxing and design

We start by knowing that this AORUS M2 mouse has arrived in the traditional flexible cardboard box used for this type of peripherals. We see a purely AORUS design, with the brand's black and orange colors and a large photo of the mouse lighting on its main face next to the model.

In the back area we will have the usual, another photo along with a description of its main technical characteristics, which you already have at the top of the table. We must say that it is a very small box, much more than most, and very close to what the mouse itself is.

Well, inside this we have the equipment wrapped in a polythene foam bag with a compartment dedicated to the cable, which of course cannot be removed from the mouse. On one side, almost invisible comes the documentation consisting of a product guide and information on the warranty and precautions.

This AORUS M2 is a mouse designed and built for gaming, for the gaming world. It has completely sober and simple lines that make it a completely accessible team for all users. In this way we stay out of those teams that have a thousand and one lines and edges that in the end not all users are comfortable with them.

Its design, very small and low, makes it compatible with practically all three types of grip and also for left and right hands. The measurements recorded by this mouse are 117 mm long, 63 mm wide and only 36 mm high. This makes it one of the least weight equipment on the market, only 76 grams, although we do not have the possibility to adjust the weight to our liking.

We will begin our external description with the central area, where the main buttons are located. We have in the first instance the two main buttons, right and left, which in this case are an extension of the plastic casing with which the equipment is built. Two buttons offering Omron switches with support for 50 million assured clicks.

In the upper area we have a single button to change the DPI in up to 4 different customizable levels. The wheel in this case we find it quite out of the plane and it is also large and with a really thick ribbed rubber. Its handling is very comfortable, accessible and with little marked jumps and no sound.

What are we in the side areas of the AORUS M2 ? Well, to start with an exactly the same configuration on both sides, which will mean that it is a completely ambidextrous mouse. We do not have any type of ribbed rubber protection or extra support for fastening, just the roughness of the plastic itself.

We have two buttons on both sides, which are located slightly ahead of the central area and with a quite small size and very little out of the plane of the case. This will allow us to handle practically all three types of grips, including Fingertip Grip with considerable separation. The stroke of the pulsation is considerable, and it will avoid accidental pulsations, although it is true that this slows it down.

In the front and rear view we can better see that it is a symmetrical mouse on both sides. We do not have this typical inclination to the right of mice for obvious reasons, although we see that it is very low, as much as one of the lows that we can find, at least designed for gaming.

On the back we find the AORUS falcon logo that gives life to RGB LED lighting with Gigabyte Fusion technology. Mention that, in this team, we will not have more lighting than this.

We will talk more about the sensor that mounts this AORUS M2. It is a Pixart PWM 3327 optical sensor that will be able to work at a native resolution of 6, 200 DPI. It is not as high as that we see in other models, and it is also a somewhat lower sensor in the available Pixart range, although we will have more than enough to play at high resolution such as 4K or ultra-wide screens.

Let's see what the 3327 are, we have a configuration of four default DPI levels, although we can always customize the values from the AORUS software. It will allow us to pass 100 dpi under a polling rate of 1000 Hz thanks to its 32-bit ARM processor. We have a maximum acceleration of 220 ips and 30G, which are more than satisfactory values for practically the majority of players and games.

The sliding system consists of four small Teflon legs that will give us a good movement, without rubbing or problems with surfaces. I am in favor of a bigger leg, mainly due to the durability issue, but each user has their tastes. In this case the displacement is completely satisfactory both in wood and in mats and not too much in glass.

As for connectivity we have no big surprises, it is a normal USB cable with a length of 1.8 meters. In addition, its surface has no braided finishes or anything like that, it is just a thin plastic hose with remarkable hardness.

Grip and sensitivity tests

We start by talking a bit about the grip of this AORUS M2, which is quite standard due to its design and measurements. In the same way we will share our experience in games and the performance of the sensor.

From its specifications, the manufacturer informs us that the ideal grip will be the palm or palm grip type and the claw or claw grip type. Well, in my specific case, the grip I feel most comfortable with is the claw type. For the always reason that my hand is more or less large (190 x 110 mm) and being such a short mouse, I automatically put my hand in this position. One finger on each side to hold the mouse and three fingers on top of the three main buttons with a slight palm support on the back.

In any case, this will depend on the tastes and preferences of each one. I also find the palm-type grip completely comfortable, since the dimensions allow it, and this grip will be much more comfortable for slightly smaller hands. Regarding the pointed grip or fingertip grip, we will not have too many problems, although it is true that the side buttons are a little ahead of us, although they are achieved well if we do not separate our hands too much.

Something that we can miss when it comes to a gaming mouse, is a sniper-oriented button, for occasions when we need low dpi quickly for slow and precision movement. Anyway, being such a short mouse, its position on the side would not be too clear, unless it was placed in a trigger. It is not necessary, but it would always be appreciated. Otherwise the experience of use has been perfect, it is comfortable, very fast and of great precision.

We now turn to see the results and experience in sensitivity tests:

Variance of movement: The procedure consists of putting the mouse in an enclosure of about 4 cm, then we move the equipment from one side to the other and at different speeds. In this way the line that we are painting in Paint will take a measure, if the lines vary in length, it will mean that it has acceleration, otherwise they will not have it. We have performed the tests several times and in all of them we have obtained magnificent results, both software and hardware are perfectly implemented and the acceleration is null. We will be able to see it better in the fine line drawing. Pixel skipping: Performing slow movements, and at different DPI in a 4K panel, the pixel jump is non-existent, both on the mat and on the wood. In addition, in this case we will not have precision assistance through software, but they are the pure benefits of the optical sensor. Tracking: Tests in games like Far Cry or DOOM or by selecting and dragging windows, the movement is correct without experiencing accidental jumps or plane changes. 220 ips and 30 G are more than enough for most FPS games and almost any type. Performance on surfaces: It has worked well on hard surfaces like wood, metal and of course on mats. If it is true that in this case its performance in crystals is not the best, detecting tracking and certain jumps in the pixels. But, anyway, it is rare that we use a crystal mouse.

AORUS Engine and RGB Fusion software

As there is a great brand behind this AORUS M2, we could not miss the presence of management software, although while it is true it is something basic and easy to explain.

First, we have the AORUS Engine software, which has had no problem detecting our installed mouse. In addition to the well-known screen for basic overclocking of the graphics card, we also have a section in which we can customize the functions of each of the buttons. We can place multimedia functions, macros and even letters on our keyboard. The only button we won't be able to customize will be the left-click button for obvious reasons.

We also have a panel to modify the DPI of the mouse, we already know that there are up to 4 levels available. Do not be guided by the values that appear in the bars, since the limit will be set by the sensor itself with up to 6, 200 dpi. And something that is striking is that in this case we will not have the possibility to modify double-click speed, precision assistance or such options.

The next program to highlight is Gigabyte's own software to manage lighting. It is as simple as we only have a main screen in which to modify the color of the light and its animations.

Final words and conclusion about AORUS M2

This AORUS M2 does not have a stratospheric sensor as far as DPI is concerned, but without a doubt that the benefits are there. The sensations that precision gives us are perfect in all the selected levels, it supports fast movements and has no acceleration, something strictly necessary for gaming.

In my personal case, I would have liked it to be a little higher, at least a few millimeters to be more like the palm grip, although I say, it is everyone's taste. The overall design is very accurate, ambidextrous, simple lines, very rounded for better ergonomics and the position of the buttons is correct in every way. We miss that yes a sniper button in the side area, being a gaming mouse.

Software support is appreciated, especially for customizing button functions that I don't normally use such as the two extra sides being ambidextrous. It also has RGB Fusion lighting, basic, but striking and with a full range of available colors.

The benefits and sensation that it has left us during the days of use have been satisfactory, the performance in games is as expected and 6, 200 dpi are more than enough for any use. The feel of the wheel is very good, although we would also have liked that the two main buttons did not share a casing and were independent.
