While these were innovative at the time, they were still essentially heatpipe radiators subject to temperature differences that would dictate performance.

    The Aivia M8600 Wireless Macro Gaming Mouse is absolutely riddled with features. During testing I found the responsiveness the best I have ever experienced.
