Best Gaming Mouse? Mionix NAOS 7000 Review

2014-06-05
this video was brought to you by NCI ex great technology selections and service hello everyone this is Dmitry with Haruka knucks and today we're taking a look at another my onyx mouse if you have not seen our AV or 7000 review go check that out but this is the naio 7000 a gaming mouse with an optical sensor and outstanding economic design priced competitively at $79 now my onyx got almost everything right with the nails 7000 starting with a shape that is ergonomically pleasing with proper thumb support and additional support frame on the right for your pinky and ring fingers this does make the mouse world wide but your two right fingers are appropriately spaced out which makes using the mouse for long gaming sessions an absolute joy the soft rubber coating is also pleasing but I do prefer textured sides for a sturdier grip next up the switches the two thumb buttons have a very satisfying tactile response with smooth roll-off when fully pressed so it doesn't disturb your grip or navigation the scroll wheel is rubberized and lit up for customization it's a bit on the lighter side and the scroll steps aren't as defined as I like but actual middle press is very responsive and the scroll wheel doesn't wobble when pressed so that's something I use quite often during game play also notice how it doesn't protrude as much from the frame meaning you can easily press the middle click without activating and you scroll steps so huge thumbs up for my onyx for the subtle but important design element left and right clicks are also very responsive and travel time is just right for quick presses and finally the two buttons behind the scroll wheel would be your dpi change buttons of course they are programmable and software but at default there is no dpi change indicator on the mouse nor on the screen so the only way to tell you what dpi settings you're using is really by feel or when accessing the software the illuminated logo up top is of course customisable it's not flashy in any way so I do appreciate that and it's also nice to color match all your peripherals now probably one of the design features that might turn main people off is the lack of whey customization at only 103 grams the Nero 7000 is truly lightweight I'm personally coming from the m60 that is my daily driver and there was definitely an adjustment period to get used to the light weight of the nails also the plastic construction gives off the cheap and this non tough feel so perhaps some metal frame integration would be ideal on any future iterations the optical sensor used here is a DNS 3310 that's known for its accurate and acceleration free tracking with maximum 7000 dpi and setting up my usual sensitivity of 800 dpi I was actually very impressed with accuracy and performance for gaming combine this with excellent ergonomics and tactile switches and I could see this becoming a very common peripheral among gamers now the sensor does not track on white surfaces nor on glass and have had the best results using a hard mouse mat also the Teflon feet at the bottom do span a large area so smooth glide was always consistent the USB port gave me some trouble on my laptop that disconnected with just a slight pull on the cable a similar issue that we've also experienced with the AVR 7000 but the contact for both mice I was just fine connected to my tower the software is a little clunky but nevertheless provides all the necessary controls for button mapping and macro recordings profile selections that are saved on the mouse itself sensor sensitivity adjustment with three settings scroll speed double click speed and acceleration adjustment one a very important feature is surface analyzer when used in conjunction with the liftoff distance to really fine-tune how the sensor reacts during liftoff events color of course can be changed with different nodes and throughout my gaming experience I've really come to love the naio 7000 and what it brings to the table now this has to be the most comfortable mouse I've used so far thanks to excellent ergonomics and amazing switches that feel just right tracking with a 3310 optical sensor is accurate and at $79 you are getting an over excellent gaming mouse the biggest drawback here is the lack of whey customization I prefer a heavier Mouse and wouldn't have said no to a few extra grams with the ability to add a few extra grams plus the old plastic construction feels kind of weak compared to many gaming mice in the market that incorporate some type of metal or aluminum for the frame also I hope my onyx addresses the unstable USB connection the issue that was both present on the Neos and AVR 7000 mice however the name 7000 has really grown on me for its well-designed form and we're giving in the harbor Canucks damn good award and really look forward to more gaming peripherals from my onyx so that concludes our review of the native 7000 as always thanks for watching make sure to
