After using the slender lines of the Razer
Sensei, the flat pancake of a mouse that is the NAOS 8200 took a lot of getting
used to. We’ve never seen a mouse so big, and our entire hand comfortably fits
on the shaped finger supports. It’s so comfortable for extended periods of use,
that we’re considering using this as our day to day mouse.
Mionix
NAOS 8200 Mouse
Stashed away inside is a 32-bit ARM
processor and 8200 DPI laser sensor – the highest sensitivity available. 128KB
of memory – twice that of the Commodore 64 allows for on-board storage of
macros, not to mention fancy lighting profiles to make the onboard LCD lighting
change color, or blink and pulse. A total of 7 buttons are built into the
mouse, which includes the clickable scroll wheel and twin DPI adjustment
buttons. If only it had a button or two for pinky fingers it’d be perfect, but
the existing buttons are all within easy reach.
When used in combination with the super
sexy Mionix Ensis 320 aluminum mouse pad, performance was absolutely top notch.
There’s even a surface monitoring feature, which tells you the quality of your
mouse pad, and the Ensis 320 scored a perfect 100%. Running it side-by-side
with eth SteelSeries Sensei, it was impossible to notice a difference in the
performance of the two a rare occurrence!
A couple of extra buttons might have been
nice, but this is still a fantastic mouse regardless. The width might take some
getting used to, but if you’re looking for an ergonomic mouse with wonderful
performance, look no further.

Verdict: 9/10

doesn’t forgo ergonomics for perfect performance.
