ZOWIE GEAR AM Black 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 2300 dpi Competitive Gaming Mouse with DPI Adjustable Switch

The ZOWIE AM is an ambidextrous mouse that is unmatched by other ambidextrous mice in flexibility, stability and performance. It features two buttons on both sides which allows the user to switch between left- and right-handed usage. Only one side may be active at a time, thus eliminating annoying situations where you accidently hit the side buttons using the bottom of your palm or your pinky finger.

  • newegg Shape The ZOWIE AM has been built as a versatile mouse, which can be easily adapted to the users’ preference to either left- or right-handed use. In an effort to offer users of ambidextrous mice (left-handed users especially) a higher level of comfort when playing, the ZOWIE AM features two buttons on each side – but only one side can be active at a time, meaning that the users has to define either left- or right-handed usage. Just as with the Hz-changer on the EC-series, there are no drivers or software – the switch is made directly on the mouse, and the mouse will remember the setting.
  • newegg Performance ZOWIE AM uses ADNS-3090, the most stable and functional optical sensor on the market, and is optimized to be ideal for competitive gaming by developing a custom lens. Like what they did with the EC-series, ZOWIE finally succeeded in creating the exact combination necessary for a low lift-off distance (1.5 mm) while maintaining flawless performance.
  • newegg Improved mousewheel The mousewheel in the ZOWIE AM is the same as the one used in the ZOWIE EC-series. Developed using an optical encoder instead of the traditional mechanical system, the mousewheel has proven to be extremely durable. The lifespan of the mousewheel is expected to be more than five years.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent RAM

Pros: Works fine and even compatible with HP Elite 8200 which is a bit finicky with 8Gb modules

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: G Skill has been very high quality and reliable, however, warranty replacement could be improved by shortening the time and the paperwork which could be improved.

5 out of 5 eggsLooking good

Pros: Looks great, had no dead pixels, and bought on sale at a good price. Also one thing that is not mentioned in the product details on newegg is there is an audio out jack on the back to plug in headphones or speakers into (Only works when using an HDMI cable).

Cons: Only cons i can think of is the drivers that come with the monitor are not signed by Microsoft so you will get a warning screen when/if you install them. Also, even though there is an option to turn off the power light (which i love by the way), the power light will still blink when you turn your computer off (I don't like this). Neither of these things are a big issue for me so i'm not taking off any eggs for them.

Other Thoughts: To the reviewer who is complaining about having a distorted picture when using a lower resolution. I'm pretty sure the reason being is 1920X1080 is the native resolution of the monitor. So if you want things larger on your screen just make the icons larger and for web pages hold SIFT and press + or -.

1 out of 5 eggsDisappointed Customer

Pros: Looks nice compared to Air Heatsinks. Nice corsair logo that lights up. Temps are Decent

Cons: Installed it in my computer to give it a nicer look but its hard to make it look nice when it has 6 separate cables coming out of the pump. If you have an aftermarket heatsink make sure you still have the AMD Bracket that came with your motherboard as you will be needing it to install this product. This delayed my project by a week.

I didnt want to believe what people were saying but i learned the hard way that when there are so many complaints about something its bound to be true software is complete junk it rarely works how it should. I have my pump logo set up to change colors when the temps change from blue white and red (Cold, Normal, Hot) but sometimes it just wont work and ends up staying at one color. ok cool not that big of a deal but then we get into the actual safety of your computer and thats when i cant take things lightly. Sometimes i wont even be able to control my fans with the corsair software which is one of the biggest selling points, at least for me. But still cool i just wont use there software . Well yesterday as i was taking off the Y Fan splitter the whole housing came out with the fan splitter exposing the pins underneath and now all of the led light escapes from the pump and now im left with only being able to connect 2 fans rather than 4.

I Contacted corsair to try to give them a chance to make it right as i know you cant avoid defects 100% of the time but i thought id at least give them a chance. Well I havent heard from them and this is exactly what i was trying to get out of doing. I didnt want to write a bad review because over the past couple of months I've been getting attracted to a lot of corsair products and have recommended their products to friends one which bought the H55 and i installed it for him. But this is my first time that i have had problems with corsair product and now im having problems with their customer service

Other Thoughts: I was starting to gravitate towards corsair products but if this doesnt get resolved i will no longer be doing business with corsair. I bought the H100i to improve the look inside my computer and now that the corsair pump is cosmetically damaged due to product defects it defeats the purpose for me even having this thing in my computer. Everything in this world isnt perfect but a company can at least try making things right.

If you end up buying this product i hope you dont have any problems because customer service sucks.

Good luck

2 out of 5 eggsScreen problem

Pros: See below

Cons: In addition to what I mentioned previously, there is a defect in the screen on the bottom right. The LCD is "fluid" and "vibrates" especially when typing on the keyboard. Customer service said that I can only get a replacement but because of the incorrect specs and defection, they allowed me to return it for a refund.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: This is a nice case. The cooling fans are quiet. I discovered the Led's can be switched off so I added an extra egg to the overall rating.

Cons: This comment is really of my own doing. The motherboard I purchased along with the case was slightly larger that the normal ATX style, so I had to cut away a small section of the case in order to make it fit. Other than that, I have no negative experiences to report.

2 out of 5 eggsFlaky out of the gate

Pros: Lots of features for the price.

Cons: Dead on day 21, have to RMA with Asrock due to my local retailer return policy is only 14days. Had issues with VRM voltages showing incorrectly in bios but come to find out they were correct :( Compare core voltage in bios to actual voltage. Luckily my AMD 1045t and ram survived this boards overvolting.

Other Thoughts: I would consider spending a little more to get a little more.

1 out of 5 eggsWorked for One Day

Pros: $10 rebate

i'll take some of the blame for this one not understanding the process... one egg until this issue gets resolved

Cons: When you cut the UPC symbol off the package (required to claim your rebate) you cannot RMA the product back to newegg, it has to go back to the manufacturer.

Other Thoughts: I went out and got another power supply right away knowing that i had limited time to test the other components that i purchased... i do not want a new power supply at this point but since i'm stuck with the purchase i may as well have one that works...

learned a valuable lesson

4 out of 5 eggsBig Heat Stink

Pros: Before purchasing Noctua, I checked the motherboard manufactories Quality Vendor List and found it had been approved. It's easy to install, it fit quite well, and works just fine. I don't overclock so I guess my review isn't for the extremist.

Cons: At this time I don't have anything negative to report.

3 out of 5 eggsMy Computer Is Too Fast For it

Pros: Great Feel, Programable keys.

Cons: My computer boots to fast and I have to unplug the USB and plug it back it in after boot in order for it to work. (First World Problems) Ultimately had to get a new keyboard (Quick Fire Pro). This is because the keyboard has some onboard memory that takes a while for the motherboard to recognize the device.
