What customers like about GIGABYTE AORUS M3

  • Excellent ergonomics for right-handed users, often compared to the Logitech G403 and Razer DeathAdder shapes
  • Equipped with a reliable Pixart 3988 optical sensor offering accurate tracking
  • Highly tactile and responsive Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks
  • Convenient on-the-fly DPI adjustment with dedicated LED indicators on the side
  • Good value for money, often positioned as a budget-friendly high-performance option
  • Customisable RGB lighting compatible with Gigabyte's RGB Fusion software

What customers don't like about GIGABYTE AORUS M3

  • Some users report the software is difficult to navigate or has poorly legible text
  • The PVC cable is often cited as being stiff and of lower quality compared to braided alternatives
  • Considered slightly heavy (approx. 100g) compared to modern ultra-lightweight gaming mice
  • Reports of a high lift-off distance that is not easily adjustable in software
  • Occasional build quality issues, such as a loose or rattling scroll wheel
  • The stubby design may not be comfortable for users with large hands using a palm grip

Verdict

The Gigabyte Aorus M3 is a right-handed ergonomic gaming mouse featuring a Pixart 3988 optical sensor with a real 6400 DPI, adjustable in precise 50 DPI increments, and supported by durable 20-million-click Omron switches. Its performance specs include a 1000Hz polling rate, 200 IPS maximum tracking speed, and 50G acceleration, all packaged in a 100g chassis with RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting and non-slip rubber grips. Main pros include its highly accurate sensor for competitive gaming, comfortable split-button design, and the inclusion of two sets of spare Teflon feet for extended longevity. However, notable cons include its relatively high weight of 100g compared to modern ultra-light alternatives, a stiff PVC cable rather than a flexible braided one, and a high, non-adjustable lift-off distance that can cause sensor 'spin outs' during intense movements.
