What We Think
Overview
The Aorus M2 gaming mouse, released by Gigabyte in July 2019, targets pro-level gamers seeking a balance of performance and cost. Its lightweight design at 76 grams and ambidextrous shape make it versatile for various grip styles, ideal for competitive play in FPS and MOBAs like Valorant and League of Legends. Priced at around $30, it's a budget-friendly option for gamers looking to upgrade without a hefty investment.
Design and Features
The mouse's compact, symmetrical design is a standout, offering comfort for both left and right-handed users with a matte finish for a solid grip. It supports palm, claw, and fingertip grips, fitting small to medium hands best. With four programmable side buttons and Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks, it's built for durability. The single-zone RGB lighting, customizable via RGB Fusion 2.0 software, adds a personal touch to gaming setups, connected via a standard USB-A cable.
Performance and Software
Performance-wise, the Aorus M2 delivers with a 6200 DPI optical sensor and 1000 Hz polling rate, ensuring precise tracking for fast-paced games. However, the middle mouse button's stiffness can be a minor annoyance, especially for actions requiring frequent use. The accompanying Aorus Engine software, while functional for DPI and button customization, has reported issues like failing to launch or save settings, though RGB customization via RGB Fusion 2.0 works well.
Key Takeaways
- Budget champ: The Aorus M2 proves you don’t need to splurge for a lightweight esports mouse that pins aim in FPS titles like Valorant
- Jack-of-all-trades: Its versatility shines across grips and genres, making it a go-to for MOBA grinders and casual fraggers alike;
- **Not future-proof: **At 76g and 1000 Hz, it lags behind 2025’s sub-60g, 8K Hz elite—pro aspirants might feel the gap in hyper-competitive scenes
Comparisons and Value
Compared to peers like the Logitech G Pro Wired (heavier, more expensive) and Razer DeathAdder V3 (higher accruracy, pricier), the Aorus M2 offers great value at its price point. The Cooler Master MM310, a budget alternative, lacks RGB but is lighter at 75 grams. For cost-conscious gamers, it holds its own, though modern high-end mice may offer lighter weights and higher polling rates.
