Fantech Aria II Pro Review

Introduction

Fantech Logo


Founded in 2009, Fantech is a gaming peripheral company based in Indonesia. Contrary to what one may expect, the right-handed ergonomic Aria II Pro is a wholly different SKU from the regular Aria II, though much is shared of course. Both are using PixArt's PAW3395 sensor capable of 26,000 CPI and Huano switches (blue transparent shell, pink plunger) for the main buttons, and end up weighing 53 g, but where the Aria II is using a CX52850 MCU and is restricted to 1000 Hz, the Aria II Pro does up to 8000 Hz in both wired and wireless operation, owing to USB high-speed MCUs in the mouse and dongle. Both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth are supported, though Fantech does not indicate battery life. The feet are made of pure PTFE, and two sets of replacement feet along with a set of grip tape are included with the mouse. Configuration is done in the software, which has all the usual options. The Aria II Pro is available in black, white, or red.

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable, wireless dongle, two sets of replacement feet (fitted and dots), set of grip tape, and quick start guide in the box.

Weight


My scale shows around 53 g (+/- 1 g), which is exactly in line with the weight cited by Fantech. For comparison, the original Aria XD7 weighed 60 g, whereas the smaller Zaopin Z1 weighs 52 g. A very good weight.
