Mionix Naos 3200 Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅14-09-10
Conclusion

The Naos 3200 has been designed as a cheaper alternative to the Naos 5000. It doesn't have the extremely high dpi or weight system and therefore appeals to those wanting to spend less.

It's a great looking mouse, with a lot of customisation available such as the on the fly dpi management. By downloading the software from the Mionix website you have wide open to you a big selection of control. You can change just about anything on the Naos 3200, including all 7 buttons. When Mionix claim this has an Ergonomic design, they aren't telling any lies. The curvatures and contours are well balanced and make it not only a great looking mouse but a great feeling mouse.


Where it may fall foul is that it's designed specifically for right handed individuals, and I found the size and shape to be suited better to those with bigger hands. The sensor at times picked up movement when I'm not sure it should have - hovering the mouse above the pad approx 8mm's causes the sensor to register movement. So quick mouse swipes are detected unlike the other mice I was comparing the Naos 3200 to.

The Naos 3200 has an MSRP of £49.99 ($77/€59). You can pick up a Naos 5000 for around this price so I think if retailers price this around the £40 mark its likely to do well and offer gamers a lower price alternative to the 5000.

Pros
+ Looks fantastic
+ Very affordable
+ Highly customisable

Cons
- Right handed only
- Wide and so suited to bigger hands
- Optical sensor is too sensitive


The Naos 3200 has impressed me but based upon some slight niggles I feel it warrants the Bronze award.
