First Impressions: Gigabyte Aorus M6 Wireless Review

Third-party reviews

What customers like about GIGABYTE AORUS M6

  • Extremely lightweight at 74g, making it highly maneuverable for competitive play.
  • True ambidextrous design with dedicated side buttons on both the left and right sides.
  • High-performance Pixart sensor with 26,000 DPI and NVIDIA Reflex certification for low latency.
  • Good battery life of up to 74 hours with a physical LED indicator for low power.
  • Durable Japanese Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks with a crisp, tactile feel.
  • Flexible and lightweight detachable paracord cable allows for comfortable use while charging.

What customers don't like about GIGABYTE AORUS M6

  • Some users find the click feedback too heavy or 'crunchy' rather than light and speedy.
  • Reports of reliability issues, such as the scroll wheel failing after only a few hours of use.
  • Software dependency on Gigabyte Control Center, which some users find less intuitive than competitor offerings.
  • Heavier than some ultra-light competitors like the Razer Viper V2 Pro (sub-60g).
  • Limited availability and fewer long-term community reviews compared to mainstream brands.

Verdict

The Gigabyte Aorus M6 is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse featuring a symmetrical, ambidextrous design that weighs just 74 grams. It is equipped with an enthusiast-grade Pixart 3395 optical sensor offering a 26,000 DPI sensitivity, 650 IPS tracking speed, and 50G acceleration for high-precision competitive play. Its main characteristics include 1ms low-latency 2.4GHz wireless technology, NVIDIA Reflex certification for reduced system latency, and Japanese Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks. Pros include a long 74-hour battery life, surface lift-off calibration, and eight fully programmable buttons that save settings to onboard memory. However, some users may find the click feedback to be too heavy or tactile, and the 74g weight, while light, is slightly heavier than some ultra-light competitors that fall under the 60g range.
