One the major issues with gaming mice is comfort. Many companies can create great mice with amazing features but fail to make them with an ergonomic design. I found that only comfortable grip types that matches the M8600 is the claw and fingertip grip. Its long and slender body makes the user’s hand contour the mouse. The mouse was decently comfortable over long periods of gaming. However, one major problem is sharp end of the rear of the mouse. After long hours of gaming, the rear of the mouse will start to dig into your palm and become very uncomfortable. The sharp end of the mouse is the biggest downfall in overall comfort. Logitech’s G700 and Razer’s Mamba perform much better in this category by making the rear wide and round. This allows the user’s palm to be comfortable after prolonged hours of use with any grip type. I think if Aivia just rounded the rear of the battery, this would solve many discomforts of the mouse.
On the other hand, the grip texture on the sides of the mouse was a great addition. The sides of the mouse felt great and prevented the occurrence of slippage. My thumb never loss contact nor conformed to sliding across the mouse pad. Many smaller mice from Gigabyte allowed for almost no room for the thumb and it was basically subject to some surface contact. This is certainly not the case with the M8600 with its rubbery texture. In terms of performance, this mouse is simply amazing. The twin eye gaming laser allows for maximum performance with low power. After hours upon hours of nonstop gaming, this mouse never became sticky, stuck, or loss connection. With up to 1000 reports/sec, I never experience any loss of movement. The mouse was great in either wired or wireless mode. Switching between different settings was quick and easy with the quick dpi changer on the top of the mouse. I could start with 400 dpi for accurate response and headshots and easily switch to 3200 dpi for responding quickly to backstabbers. Also, I could use this mouse from my bed and still receive great connection.
