Setup, Design & Observations
Setting up the NYTH is as easy as plugging the USB connector into your system and away you go. I couldn't find an apparent on-the-fly DPI adjustment option as the default via P&P installation had it set at a rather low sensitivity. Once installed the new Swarm driver, you can then make the most of the NYTH with its functions and features.

The general comfort of the NYTH is good, though the Easy-Shift button feels a little awkward to use with a claw grip (my preference). The material used for the surface is very smooth and feels cool to the touch, certainly 1+ over most rubberised surfaces. The palm grip attachment is nice and wide, though with the claw grip I found that the steep drop created a noticeable edge which was felt by the inside of my ring finger. This did't make it uncomfortable in anyway, just distracting.

The buttons are, well, quite awesome, being able to adapt the layout to your preference, not only allows you to create a layout useful to you, but also creates a distinctive and tactile feedback which allows you to intuitively know where your thumb is and what you are going to press. As pictured below, due to my preferred grip style I often find it difficult to press the buttons which are set farther back, while the thumb tip is capable of pressing the lower front buttons much more rapidly, so I was able to cater for this preference while maximising the useful potential available. On top of this, the dorsal fin I found easier to use with my middle finger, which again allowed me to consider this when layout out custom controls.



Performance
I tested the tracking on various mouse mat surfaces, including the ROCCAT Siru, the new Taito Control. I then tested the tracking on a variety of different surfaces including glossy desktop surface, cardboard, white paper and coloured printed card. There were no noticeable tracking issues (if you set to highest DPI you can tame the sensitivity by reducing the windows pointer speed option).

Use in DOTA2 and in FFIV was great, giving a similar feel to those accustomed to the Razer Naga, the buttons are easy to hit and the slight step in the button layout provides a recognisable system of determining where your thumb is located. In FPS gaming, you will appreciate having various commands on mouse taking some of the burden off of the keyboard.
