my favorite mouse

I went through a stage several years ago where I just absolutely had to have the best mouse and keyboard I could find. My search led me to the Mionix 5000, this was about 6-8 years ago. This mouse, the Mionix 5000 has been my daily driver for that entire time. I have always had no doubt I am using the best mouse out there because I literally tried them all out! Sadly, the wheel on my 5000 recently stopped working properly. It will scroll once every 4 - 6 turn clicks, so time to upgrade. I got this 8200 and it has the same grandslam body design, most comfortable you will use, with many added benefits. I can tell right about that the sensor is more alert. I used to role at about 800 dpi but now I can go about 1400 on this 8200 and I feel even more in control. I have no problems strolling to where i need to go. I did not realize how much i missed that mouse wheel, this one just feels better. Only thing I would like to dock a point for but cant bring myself to do it... is that this one cannot be weighted. My mionix 5000 feels about twice as heavy... i see no slots on the 8200 to add weights... I find that tremendously disappointing... in fact I have just decided mid review to dock a point for this... Besides this one tidbit ... still a fantastic mouse!!!!!!!!!

Why are you combining the reviews for all these models, Amazon? WHY!?

Folks, If you're using user ratings to judge which mouse to buy, for god's sake pay attention to which model is actually being rated. I can't fathom why Amazon would combine reviews for the 3200, 8200, and 7000. It simply isn't fair to the product, as there are things wrong with the older products that have been fixed in the 7000. The 7000 is being hurt because the avg review score is being dragged down by the older models' flaws. Positive points for all three models: *The (identical) shape of all three models is absolutely amazing/wonderful. It feels molded to my hand. *Clicking on all three is solid and satisfying, neither too sensitive nor too difficult. *Excellent quasi-rubberized surface that strikes the perfect balance between grippy-ness and smoothness. Regarding the sensors in the 3200 & 8200: *Poor. Prone to random acceleration / pixel-skipping, making for imprecise pointing. *My 8200 also tended to just wig out and go crazy every once in awhile, with the DPI dipping down to almost nothing for no apparent reason. Regarding the sensor in the 7000: *AWESOME. No pixel-skipping EVER (okay, well, maybe if you go up into the REALLY high DPI ranges like 5000, but I know no one who actually uses those settings). You're getting totally raw responsiveness. What your hand does is exactly what the pointer is going to do. More great stuff about the 7000 specifically: *Adjustable lift-off distance. *Adjustable angle-snapping. The only negative thing about the 7000 that I can think of: *They removed the DPI indicator lights they had on the 8200. These are the only lights I used on the 8200, and I miss them a little, but not a big loss at all. Overall: get the 7000. It's basically the perfect mouse in my book. The sensor is so much better than the 3200/5000/8200, it's just not a contest at all. Stay away from those, get the 7000.

NAOS 7000 is recommended for all Big Hands!

First off: this is my review for the MIONIX NAOS 7000 Please make sure to be wary, as amazon has a faulty system that mixes up reviews togther. Second of all this is a TL;DR I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this mouse to anyone with long/big hands who likes to palm grip, rest their pinky finger and have a professional looking gaming mouse that can be used at work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From this point on I will be writing an in depth review of this mouse: I was researching on getting a new wired mouse for work and gaming, since my previous mice were tiring my hands, causing cramps and fatigue. For starters, I do not like flashy gimmicks;Ii want to have a professional setup for my work. This is where this mouse strives in; its sleek ergonomic design! Smooth to the touch, simple RGB lighting and comfortable grip. Now I know I could have purchased any other mouse, but the second main factor was my budget: $45 was definitely worth it. I could also mention that the wires are braided which is a big plus, thus extending its lifespan. As of now the pros are: -Great fit for big hands -Very comfortable, smooth to the touch -Sleek design -Lightweight -Braided Cable -Simple RGB lighting -Software (downloaded from their website) isn't as hard to use as people have mentioned. Now for the cons: -Practically none But for real, I should warn to some of you that the finishing on this mouse is an oil magnet. Nothing too serious, as it can be wiped clean. You might feel that this mouse could break, but its actually due to it's light weight. Again, I highly recommend this to all my fellow big handed community to purchase this mouse. Cheers

If you use palm grip, stop looking for mice now, you found the best one, the Naos 7000.

The Naos 7000 is the best mouse I have ever used. I have a 20cm long hand and have played using palm grip for over 20 years. My first gaming mouse was a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer back in 1998, I stuck with the Intellimouse for nearly 8 years. From there I owned two Logitech MX518s, which were excellent. In around 2008 I bought a Logitech G5 which I did not like as there was no "forward" button. In 2009 I bought my first G500 and since I have owned probably 4 G500s. When my last G500 failed due to a frayed cable I immediately looked at the next evolution of Logitech's mice the G502. After holding it in my hand I realized it was not the same I hated the fell of it and after doing some research I learned that the sensor was an issue as well. I decided to try the Corsair M65 Pro which was not for me, it did not fit my hand properly and the button layout was poor. After reading dozens of reviews I landed on the Naos 7000. I was very skeptical about the finger grooves, but I gave it a shot anyways. Well lo and behold this is the best damn mouse I have ever used. The finger grooves make the mouse extremely comfortable and fit a palm grip very comfortably. My accuracy and speed have greatly improved because I no longer have my pinky dragging on my mouse pad. The mouse has a soft touch finish that does attract some skin oils and the mouse 3 button is very light, other than that this mouse is about as good as it comes for a palm gripper.

Palm grip heaven

Review is for the Naos QG optical $70 version: So this is a day 1 impression, but if you're a PALM GRIP person, just stop browsing and buy this. I honest to god still have and use my Logitech Mouseman from 18 years ago, as the shape was just unbeatable. Til now. It's beaten. Now please if you dont know what kind of gripper you are, go research claw vs palm. If you know you're palm, just buy this one. The biometric stuff is neat. totally superfluous, but it's fun to stick on a second monitor and see how high the heartrate goes. fun, unnecessary, but most fun things are. clicking is mechanically appealing, feel is soft/textured and i'd say just perfect. this thing destroys any other mouse in it's price range. I've rocked Logitech for 24 years, now, but I've had a spree of failures, and I didnt like the narrowness or lack of ergonomics on the g903. This thing's a fraction of the price, same senors the g900 is based on, does neat biometric stuff, and the shape and texture are just so perfect. I hope it doesnt die like a few of other reviews indicated, because im in love.

Truly the most comfortable mouse

This mouse was recommended by internet sources as one of the most comfortable gaming mice around, and it certainly is for me. The ergonomics of this mouse is wonderful. The right side grooves for the ring and pinky fingers fit well and keep my pink from dragging on the mousepad. The thumb indent is well place and shaped. I personally prefer this mouse with a claw grip, though I'm guessing most will prefer it for palm grip. I also have smaller hands but the mouse looks big enough that I'd guess it would suit larger hands. The mouse texture is also very nice - it's got a soft, almost felt like texture to it. It's also very light (especially for it's size) so my wrists never get fatigued. I use this for office work and to play games (CS GO) and it works well. I own several gaming brand mice from Logitech G and Razer and this is one of my favorite mice of all time.

Perfect for palm grip.

I have large hands and use a palm style grip, I tried mice from Logitech, Razer, and Steel series. I actually came from a Logitech G502 which some argue is the king of mice. However, all these mice have given my hand a cramp in my palm near the base of my pinky. It was caused from a narrow mouse and I was using my pinky to help hold the mouse from an unnatural angle. The only other mouse that was ever truely comfortable was the R.A.T. series mice from MadCatz but their quality control is horrendous (and went bankrupt in mid 2017). This mouse has been used up to 12 hours a day for several months and my hand no longer cramps up or hurts from the mouse. I'll update this review in a few more months to let you know how durable the mouse is.

Breakdown of what makes the Mionix NAOS 7000 the best gaming mouse I've ever used:

It's elegant. This mouse is a thing of beauty. The LED accents are subtle but noticeable, and the light diffuses evenly through them. The body is made of a lightweight matte plastic that feels solid and high quality. There is no creaking when you rest your palm on it. The curves that make it feel so comfortable hold also give it something of a luxury car appearance: sleek and expensive. The buttons are perfectly responsive. The left and right mouse buttons click when I want them to: no accidental clicks or presses that were "too soft" to register. The thumb buttons have the same click and response as the main mouse buttons, which was a pleasant surprise -- and they are ideally placed. You don't have to shift your hand in order to use the them. There are some nuances about the mouse to note, which will be pros or cons depending on your preferences: - The mouse is unweighted. At first I was taken aback by how light it is. A mouse mat with a bit of friction can offset the lack of weight. I adjusted within about an hour of use. - You need a good mouse pad. It would barely register on my desk or other surfaces (Wacom tablet, book, etc.). As I mention below, I use one by Corsair that works beautifully. - The scroll wheel takes slow, deliberate steps. You won't be able to "spin" it, and there is no side scroll. This is great for some games and not optimal for others. - After a long session of gaming, the oils from your skin will start to show on it. These don't appear to degrade the plastic and disappear after a quick wipe down. - It's got a cloth cord with a decent amount of length and flexibility. Rooted firmly at both ends. The software that allows you to adjust the settings of the mouse is a breeze. It spreads out the range of settings into sections that are easy to parse. It has the standard DPI, lift off, tracking, etc., which are easy to tweak and make for some top of the line performance. The feature for adding macros is simple to use: click "start recording," perform your macro, click "stop recording," assign macro to button, done. I have several computers, Macs and PCs, desktops and laptops. This mouse works with all of them the moment it's plugged in, as the profiles that tell it how to behave are stored on the mouse itself. Note on the Surface Quality Analysis Technology (S.Q.A.T.): the first mouse pad I tried was a plastic surface one made by Razer, which registered 100 on the test. The second pad I tried was a Corsair that registered a 50. Take these numbers with a grain of salt because while it had a higher number, my mouse skated across the Razer mat like soap on fresh ice (and was about as easy to control). The mouse handling on the cloth Corsair mat was perfect, and I noticed no loss in quality on screen -- the pointer always went smoothly to where I wanted it to go. I play a wide range of genres, and this mouse is serving me well whether I'm breaking blocks in Minecraft, landing skill shots in League of Legends, or flying frigates in EVE Online. The macro feature helps my performance in all of these games, and I'm damn thankful that those thumb buttons are so easy to use. Overall, the ergonomics of the mouse and the technologies that power it make the Mionix NAOS 7000 feel like an extension of your mind.

very comfortable

I am a right-handed casual gamer with average-size hands. I have had this mouse for about 3 months now and absolutely love it -- primarily because of the ergonomic palm-grip shape that doesn't leave your pinky to the wind -- it is just a joy to use and there are no quirks or frustrations. If I could change one thing, however, it would be to eliminate the clicking noises in order to make it absolutely silent -- then, for me, it would be the perfect mouse. I use this mouse primarily, and a JNL-101K when quiet is absolutely needed (such as others working around me). Overall very pleased. I compared this mouse to others a few others in the same general price range: -- Corsair Harpoon -- cheaper; considered only because I was already using a Corsair keyboard and their software would work well together. Claw grip; for me not as comfortable as the Mionix Naos 7000. -- Logitech G402 Hyperion -- the thumb buttons were nicely place on the G402, but kind of narrow, and overall again not as comfortable as the Mionix Naos 7000.

Very solid mouse that delivers on all of its promises.

I've been using this mouse (Mionix Naos 7000) for a few weeks now, and I have nothing but good things to say about this mouse. Word to the wise: peripherals, especially mice, are usually very subjective and are rife with gaming-oriented marketing to make the product more enticing. Note that this review will be influenced by my personal preferences for a mouse. For reference, I am a 6'0" male with relatively long fingers. I also mostly use claw/fingertip grip due to the length of my fingers. Pros: 1) Very smart design. It definitely looks odd in the pictures, but if you've ever questioned why mice manufacturers seem to completely ignore ring-finger and pinky-finger placement, this mouse is your answer. It definitely looks odd and took several days to get accustomed to the different shape, but it gets more and more comfortable as time goes on. Mionix emphasizes craftsmanship on their website, packaging, and other marketing material, and I'm pleased to say that the mouse delivers on those promises. I'm also a big fan of the completely rubberized finish on the mouse. I almost got a Sensei with the rubberized finish, but I found this mouse more appealing after reading the reviews on how comfortable it is. I don't know how well it will hold up or look after long-term use, but so far it stays pretty clean and feels very nice to grip. 2) Comes with the right features. This mouse isn't overloaded with tons of buttons which likely won't be used by most customers. You have your standard left, right, and scroll-wheel clicks as well as two rocker buttons for the thumb and two DPI-switching buttons on the top. I have minimalist preferences, so this mouse suits my needs much better than other gaming-oriented, high-end mice. I haven't used the DPI-switching buttons yet, but thankfully they're pretty small and never get in my way, so their presence doesn't bother me. 3) Simple software. I had no trouble figuring out how to customize my mouse with my preferred DPI level and setting the RGB lighting to match the rest of my computer. Again, I have minimalist preferences so I've only used the software once or twice, but those experiences were easy and painless. 4) Satisfying buttons. the Omron switches in the left and right click buttons aren't the easiest to press, but they give a very satisfying tactile feel and corresponding sound. The scroll-wheel click is not too difficult to press without rolling the wheel. The DPI and thumb buttons aren't great, but they're good enough for how frequently I use them (not very much). 5) Very high-quality sensor, but ONLY IN THE 7000. If you want this mouse, get the 7000 - it is well-known to have the best sensor of the series. The Pixart sensor in this model is very accurate and is very highly acclaimed. Cons: 1) Shape isn't for everyone. I haven't verified this myself, but I understand now why users with smaller hands would not be able to adjust to the shape of the mouse. It does have a fairly large footprint that may be too long for short fingers. To those users, I would suggest the Mionix Castor for a similar mouse with equally great quality but a more accommodating shape. Obviously, it's not for lefties either. 2) Sensor can't track on glass or white surfaces. This is pretty unfortunate because I would've liked to use my white desk, but I'll get a nice mousepad instead. Note that this isn't unique to this mouse - all infrared (IR) sensors will have this negative feature. I'll follow up with a few comparisons to other popular mice. 1) Mionix Naos 7000 v. Razer Deathadder 2013: I'm fairly sure the Deathadder hasn't changed much since then, so this should be pretty representative of all Deathadder mice. I've used that mouse as my primary driver for over 2 years, and although I've gotten used to the shape, the high arching back simply never suited my grip to my liking even though it's touted to suit claw grip very well. Although the Deathadder had nice rubber grips on both sides to allow for easier liftoff, the Mionix has both a rubberized surface and better contours so the user can truly hold the mouse. I'm very happy with my switch. 2) Mionix Naos 7000 v. g502: I gave the g502 a chance after I saw it on sale at Best Buy recently. The g502 is a massively popular mouse, so I couldn't help but give it a chance. Subjectively, I wasn't a huge fan of the aesthetics of the g502; it seemed like a toned-down version of the ridiculous Mad Catz gaming mice without the modularity and adjustments. I actually did enjoy the feel of the g502 - it was well-designed with good rubber grips and fit a fingertip grip very comfortably. However, the sheer number of buttons on the g502 is what killed the mouse for me, especially the placement of the "sniper" button for the thumb. In order to hold the mouse comfortably with my long fingers, my thumb was resting on the sniper button, and I simply didn't want to hold a mouse with my thumb resting on top of a button. I didn't really have a use for the 11 programmable buttons and adjustable weight (even without extra weights I thought it was heavy), so I returned it to Best Buy. The g502's greatest strengths turned out to be the aspects I liked the least. I think the current pricing at $55 (as of early 2016) is a very fair price for a mouse that can compare to mice that cost much more. I encourage you to give this mouse a try and return it if it doesn't fit your needs and preferences.
