Mionix Naos 3200 Mouse Review

Playing with the Naos 3200

Since it has the same body as the Naos 5000, the 3200 model also features the same fantastic grip and comfortable gaming experience that so impressed us in that particular device. Mionix has been unbeatable so far in those categories. The lack of a weight adjustment system might be a problem, but in our subjective analysis it didn’t bother us while using the mouse for gaming and work. The clicking response of the buttons is precise and the scroll wheel isn’t hard to be pressed. Unfortunately it doesn’t do horizontal scrolling – a feature we look forward to when working with large documents. Some players might not like the somewhat low level of resolution, as the mouse doesn’t go above the 3200 dpi limit. Since we ourselves don’t often go as far as 4000 dpi in our gaming style, it didn’t bother us, but what we really felt bad about was the lack of the capacity to create distinct profiles to serve different purposes like several games and work-related applications. It’s one of the problems of using a mouse with less features. In closing, the performance was great while playing Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2. We kept the same configuration for both games, but it had to be changed for World of Warcraft. This limitation is something to be seriously considered by those interested in buying the Naos 3200, specially if the user rotates through a large library of games. Even so, even being a bare-bones model, it’s way ahead of competing gaming-grade mice with more features because of the extreme comfortable design and easiness of reprogramming. The Naos 3200 is highly recommended for users who don’t care about that many bells and whistles.
