Verdict

The Gigabyte AIRE M60 is a wireless laser productivity mouse designed for high-resolution 4K monitors, featuring a 'real' 3200 DPI sensor with three-stage on-the-fly adjustment (1000/1600/3200 DPI). Its standout characteristic is an exceptional battery life of up to 24 months powered by two AA batteries, complemented by Gigabyte's Free-Scrolling Technology for multidirectional navigation. Main pros include its long-lasting power efficiency, a portable nano receiver with 2.4GHz connectivity, and an ergonomic right-handed design with seven buttons customizable via software. Potential cons include its lack of a rechargeable battery, the absence of Bluetooth support, and its relatively high weight of 106g compared to modern compact alternatives.
