Mionix's Naos 8200 gaming mouse fits like a glove

Next at bat, we have a gaming mouse from a company that is new to me, Mionix, and the peripheral at hand is the NAOS 8200. This mouse is equipped with a laser capable of up to 8200 DPI, 32 bit processor, 128 KB built in memory to store your settings in up to five different profiles, and once again we have a mouse with LED lighting. Owners of the 8200 also get to experience S.Q.A.T.(Surface Quality Analyzer Device) a feature that measures the tracking quality of the mouse pad. We had our fun with Roccat entries, now its time to see how Mionix fares on FPS’, RTS’, and work.

This first thing I noticed out of the box was that this thing is big, even she went on as to say it. Then once you put your hands on it, the ergonomic fit will make you quickly forget how big this life link to your gaming is. In comparison to that of the Roccat’s sturdy mice we have another with a woven cord but with Mionix you get more cord. Also like it’s competitors, the mouse requires a downloaded driver to fine tune the settings, but unlike a lot of the others you just need to set up the settings on one computer, they will be saved to the mouse so you can use them on other gaming rigs without going through the setup again.
My biggest issue was the sensitivity at first, my pointer was all over the place until I got the driver downloaded and installed. The driver is great with it’s included tuning capabilities, but it is a bit of a tedious process. With patience and a lot of trial and error, you will have everything you want at your fingertips and able to make changes to personal profiles based on particular situations for the game at hand with 3 DPI values and 7 buttons all programmable to your wants and needs. The Naos 8200 is priced at $89.99 and packs a similar punch to that of Roccat and Razer, but when all was said and done, I preferred the Naos due to how the surface felt and how it ergonomically fit my grip.
