Who would have thought that Krypton, the home planet of Superman, would be reduced to the tiny size of a gaming-grade mouse? Well, that’s the name of the new model from Gigabyte’s Aivia line. It features an innovation right out of the mind of Jor-El, the scientist father of the Man of Steel: two interchangeable under plates, each one with a different set of feet (Teflon and ceramic) that delivers a different sliding control. We’ll talk about this characteristic and other features after we describe the product.

The peripheral has an ambidextrous body with the same set of buttons on each side. Each rubber-coated lateral comes with three buttons; the one closer to the tip acts as a user profile switch.

On the top, the user finds the illuminated scroll wheel and, right below it, the traditional resolution switch, flanked by two tiny LED bars. On the end of the dorso, there’s the Krypton logo.
