华硕ROG GX1000鹰眼鼠标(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye mouse)采用激光光学传感器，跟踪速度高达8200 dpi，加速度为30g。传感器分辨率可由用户调整，取值范围为 50 到 8200 dpi。默认情况下，鼠标有四种不同的DPI级别，分别设置为 800 dpi（级别 1）、1600 dpi（级别 2）、3200 dpi（级别 3）和 5600 dpi（级别 4）。
为了便于在四个分辨率级别之间切换，您还可以在鼠标顶部、滚轮下方获得一个(scroll wheel)DPI 开关(DPI switch)。
除了鼠标左右键外，华硕ROG GX1000鹰眼(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye)的左侧还有三个，如果你是右手的话，你的拇指所在的位置。鼠标上的所有按钮都是可编程的，包括这三个。鼠标通过一根带有USB 2.0(USB 2.0)插头的编织电缆连接到您的计算机。它的USB轮询速率高达 1000 Hz，您还可以自定义为 500Hz、250Hz 或 125Hz。
如果您想知道华硕 ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye 游戏(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming)鼠标的尺寸，您应该知道它相当大：宽 2.58 英寸或 65.5 毫米，长 5.06 英寸或 128.5 毫米，高 1.71 英寸或 43.5 毫米。
它重 6.17 盎司或 175 克，但您可以通过移除额外的重量来调整它的重量并将其减至 150 克。这些重量中的每一个都是 0.18 盎司或 5 克。
华硕 ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye)游戏鼠标正式支持Windows XP、Windows 7、Windows 8 和Windows 8.1。但是，正如您将在本评论后面看到的那样，我们还在Windows 10上成功使用了它。您可以在此处找到完整的规格：ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye Mouse - 规格(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye Mouse - Specifications)。
使用华硕 ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye 游戏(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming)鼠标进行游戏
华硕(ASUS)在赋予这款设备符合人体工程学的外形方面做得很好。虽然它的外观不是最好的，但当你把手放在它上面时，感觉很好。唯一的要求是你的手不能小。如果你这样做，这个鼠标会太大而感觉不舒服。这是鼠标形状的结果，它要求您的手保持在既不是爪形抓握(claw grip)也不是手掌抓握(palm grip)的位置。它介于两者之间，手小的人（比如我的妻子）发现很难舒适地使用这款鼠标。但是，如果您的手大小高于平均水平，那么这款鼠标将非常适合您。
我们还赞赏这款游戏鼠标(gaming mouse)的制造质量。鼠标的顶部和左右按钮由铝制成，并具有拉丝表面，同时看起来和感觉都很好。
华硕 ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye 游戏(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming)鼠标左侧的附加按钮很容易用拇指触及，但不幸的是，您可能会无意中碰到离办公桌较近的那个。华硕(ASUS)一定知道这个问题，所以第三个附加按钮默认不做任何事情，因为鼠标软件中没有与之相关的操作。
把鼠标倒过来，你会发现除了光学激光传感器(laser sensor)之外还有两个有趣的东西：一个小按钮和一个大五角形。小按钮用于在鼠标背面左右两侧的灯光可用的四种LED 颜色模式之间切换。(LED color)您可以在红色、绿色、橙色和无光之间进行选择。但是，无论您为鼠标的这些发光区域选择何种颜色，滚轮(scroll wheel)和DPI 开关(DPI switch)都将始终呈红色亮起，并且无法将其关闭。
这只鼠标腹部的大五边形是重量支架。您可以通过按下鼠标将其从鼠标身上移除。取出后，您可以根据需要查看、删除或添加权重。一些游戏玩家更喜欢他们的鼠标更重并具有更高的加速度，而其他玩家更喜欢更轻的鼠标，加速度更小。华硕 ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye)让你选择你想要的重量是一件好事。
在过去的几周里，我在Skyrim、Metro 2033 Redux、暗黑破坏神 3(Diablo 3)或质量效应仙女座等游戏中使用了(Mass Effect Andromeda)华硕 ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye)游戏鼠标。鼠标给我留下了很好的整体印象，因为它很容易按照我喜欢的方式进行设置，它的人体工程学设计让我的手即使在长时间游戏后也不会感到疲倦，激光传感器(laser sensor)的工作也令人钦佩。
ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye 游戏鼠标是一款坚固的设备，具有许多出色的功能和良好的制造质量。只有一件事我们不为之兴奋：GX1000 对我们的审美品味来说太华丽了。但是，这是一个非常主观的意见，其他人可能不赞成。(The ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse is a solid device with lots of good features and a good build quality. There's only one thing that we're not thrilled about: the GX1000 is too blingy for our esthetic taste. However, that's a very subjective opinion, and others might disapprove.)
驱动程序和软件
如果您想将它用作简单的鼠标，而无需自定义其按钮的功能或使用的DPI 分辨率(DPI resolution)，您只需将ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye插入USB 端口(USB port)即可。但是，如果您想更改鼠标的性能设置或其他功能，您需要安装华硕(ASUS)的官方软件。坏消息是这款鼠标正式不支持Windows 10。在华硕(ASUS)的网页上(web page)，您只能找到适用于Windows XP、Windows 7和Windows 8的驱动程序和软件。但是，我们尝试并可以证明适用于Windows 8的驱动程序/软件(Windows 8)也适用于Windows 10。不幸的是，该软件看起来和感觉都过时了，但它确实提供了任何游戏玩家想要的基础知识。您可以配置、保存和使用四种不同的设置配置文件，还可以根据需要配置宏。
在每个配置文件中，您可以选择鼠标按钮的功能，可以设置DPI 分辨率(DPI resolution)级别（每个级别从 50 到 8200 dpi），还可以配置一些更高级的设置，例如提升高度或USB 轮询(USB polling)率. 但这几乎就是关于捆绑软件的所有内容。
不幸的是，可用于配置华硕 ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye 游戏鼠标的软件已经过时且原始，并且不正式支持 Windows 10。在 2012 年它本来会很棒，但从那时起，游戏鼠标的软件生态系统已经发展很多。(Unfortunately, the software available for configuring the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse is outdated and primitive, and it doesn't officially support Windows 10. In 2012 it would have been great but since then, the software ecosystem for gaming mice has evolved a lot.)
优点和缺点
以下是我们喜欢ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye游戏鼠标的一些地方：
- 它具有良好的人体工程学设计，握在手中感觉很好
- 你可以调整它的重量
- 它具有良好的制造质量(build quality)，可能会持续几年
您还应该考虑一些负面的方面：
- 对于手较小的人来说，这款鼠标太大而不舒服
- 它不正式支持Windows 10，尽管您可以在Windows 10中使用它的(Windows 10)Windows 8软件
- 这是一款“金光闪闪”的鼠标，无法满足所有口味
判决
总的来说，我们对华硕 ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye 游戏(ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming)鼠标的性能感到满意。尽管它不如华硕(ASUS)和其他公司在过去几年发布的其他型号，但它仍然是一个出色的表现。游戏玩家将欣赏它的精度和速度(precision and speed)，以及他们可以自定义其重量的事实。不过，它是一只大老鼠，不适合手小的人。对于我们的口味来说，它也太闪亮太闪亮了。最后，它的软件感觉陈旧且无人照顾。尽管它仍然由华硕(ASUS)制造和销售，但该公司尚未为其发布任何官方Windows 10软件。幸运的是，Windows 8版本在微软(Microsoft)最新的操作系统(operating system)。

Unboxing the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse
The ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse comes in a pretty large box, made from premium black cardboard. On the top of the box, all you can see is the large red and silver Republic of Gamers logo.
On the back of the box, there's a wealth of information printed: you get to know the name of the device you just bought, its main specifications and essential features, and what its various buttons do.
Raise the upper lid of the box, and you can see the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse sitting inside an additional transparent plastic layer.
The contents of the box include the mouse, its warranty, and a quick start guide.
Unboxing the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse is a rewarding experience which you will enjoy.
Hardware specifications
The ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye mouse uses a laser optical sensor with a tracking speed of up to 8200 dpi and a 30g acceleration. The sensor resolution can be adjusted by the user, to take any value from 50 to 8200 dpi. By default, the mouse has four different DPI levels, set to 800 dpi (level 1), 1600 dpi (level 2), 3200 dpi (level 3), and 5600 dpi (level 4).
To make it easy to switch between the four resolution levels, you also get a DPI switch on top of the mouse, beneath the scroll wheel.
Besides the left and right mouse buttons, the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye also has three more on its left side, where your thumb resides if you are right-handed. All the buttons found on the mouse are programmable, including these three. The mouse connects to your computer via a braided cable that ends with a USB 2.0 plug. It has a USB polling rate of up to 1000 Hz, which you can also customize to 500Hz, 250Hz, or 125Hz.
If you're wondering about the size of the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse, you should know that it's pretty large: 2.58 inches or 65.5mm in width, 5.06 inches or 128.5mm in length and 1.71 inches or 43.5mm in height.
It weighs 6.17 ounces or 175 grams, but you can adjust its weight and decrease it all the way to 150 grams, by removing its additional weights. Each of these weights is 0.18 ounces or 5 grams.
The ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse officially supports Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. However, as you'll see later in this review, we also used it successfully on Windows 10. You can find the full set of specifications here: ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye Mouse - Specifications.
Using and gaming with the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse
ASUS did a good job of giving this device an ergonomic shape. While its looks are not the greatest, when you put your hand on it, it feels good. The only requirement is that you don't have small hands. If you do, this mouse will be too big to feel comfortable. That's a consequence of the shape of the mouse which asks your hand to stay in a position that's neither a claw grip nor a palm grip. It's somewhere in between, and people with small hands (like my wife) find it difficult to use this mouse comfortably. However, if your hand is above average in size, this mouse will fit you perfectly.
We also appreciated the build quality of this gaming mouse. The top and the left and right buttons of the mouse are made from aluminum and have a brushed surface that looks and feel good at the same time.
The additional buttons on the left side of the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse are easy to reach with your thumb, but unfortunately, you'll probably unintentionally hit the one that's closer to your desk. ASUS must have known this problem, so the third additional button doesn't do anything by default, as there's no action associated with it in the mouse's software.
Turn the mouse upside down, and you'll find two interesting things, besides the optical laser sensor: a small button and a large pentagonal shape. The small button is used to switch between the four LED color modes available for the lights from the back left and right sides of the mouse. You can choose between red, green, orange and no light. However, regardless of the color you choose for these lighted areas of the mouse, the scroll wheel, and the DPI switch will always be lit in red and there's no way of turning it off.
The large pentagonal shape on the belly of this mouse is the weights holder. You can remove it from the mouse's body by pressing on it. Once you've taken it out, you can see, remove or add weights as you wish. Some gamers prefer their mice to be heavier and have higher accelerations, while other prefer lighter mice, with less acceleration. It's a good thing that ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye lets you choose how heavy you want it to be.
For the last couple of weeks, I've used the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse in quite a few games like Skyrim, Metro 2033 Redux, Diablo 3 or Mass Effect Andromeda. The mouse left me with a good overall impression, as it was easy to set up the way I liked it, its ergonomic design helped my hand not get tired even after long periods of gaming, and the laser sensor did its job admirably.
The ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse is a solid device with lots of good features and a good build quality. There's only one thing that we're not thrilled about: the GX1000 is too blingy for our esthetic taste. However, that's a very subjective opinion, and others might disapprove.
Drivers and software
If you want to use it as a simple mouse, without customizing what its buttons do or what DPI resolution to use, you can simply plug the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye into a USB port, and it'll work. However, if you want to change the mouse's performance settings or other features, you'll want to install its official software from ASUS. The bad news is that this mouse doesn't support Windows 10 officially. On ASUS' web page you'll only find drivers and software for Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8. But, we tried and can testify that the drivers/software for Windows 8 also works in Windows 10. Unfortunately, the software looks and feels outdated, but it does offer the basics that any gamer wants. You can configure, save and use four different settings profiles, and you can also configure macros if you want or need to.
In each profile, you can choose what the mouse's buttons do, you can set the DPI resolution levels (from 50 to 8200 dpi for each level), and you can also configure a few more advanced settings like the lift height or the USB polling rate. But that's pretty much everything there is to say about the bundled software.
Unfortunately, the software available for configuring the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse is outdated and primitive, and it doesn't officially support Windows 10. In 2012 it would have been great but since then, the software ecosystem for gaming mice has evolved a lot.
Pros and cons
Here are some of the things that we like about the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse:
- It has a good ergonomic design, and it feels good to hold it in your hand
- You can adjust its weight
- It has a good build quality, and it will probably last you a couple of years
There are also a few negative aspects you should consider:
- For people with smaller hands, this mouse is too big to be comfortable
- It doesn't officially support Windows 10, although you can use its Windows 8 software in Windows 10
- It's a mouse with a bit too much "bling" to suit all tastes
Verdict
Overall, we are satisfied by what the ASUS ROG GX1000 Eagle Eye gaming mouse has to offer. Even though it is inferior to other models released by ASUS and other companies in the last years, it's still a great performer. Gamers will appreciate its precision and speed, as well as the fact that they can customize its weight. However, it is a large mouse, and it is not a good match for people with small hands. It's also too shiny and blingy for our taste. Finally, its software feels old and uncared for. Even though it is still manufactured and sold by ASUS, the company has not released any official Windows 10 software for it. Luckily, the Windows 8 version works fine in Microsoft's latest operating system.
