The Neon is an interesting new go at making a feature-rich presenter mouse. It does its presenter tasks well but at the expense of comfort as a normal mouse. The charging system works nicely, but it is a bit hard to charge the mouse when not using your laptop on a level surface. Simply implementing a normal cable solution would have been better here. The wireless adapter is very small and easy to grip—plugging into these mini adapter is usually a bit of a hassle but the GIGABYTE variant seems big enough to handle well.

In a presentation, the Neon is one step ahead of pretty much any solution I have seen over the last year. Tilting the mouse to move its courser actually works well, with a good balance of speed and accuracy. That, along with the fact that the mouse is comfortable to hold in midair, makes it a pleasant experience. GIGABYTE tried to add some features to its driver suite, and while they work, the suite seems a bit too beta-ish, especially compared to the fully capable suites bundled with other Aivia-branded gaming products.

The mouse is awkward to use as a normal mouse but works well in the air. Its shape has been optimized for presenting, making a lot of the on-the-desk features a second priority. The mouse is definitely nice for people who do a lot of presentations.
