Hello and happy new year! :)

I took many days looking for a perfect mouse for me, but I have failed and I ask your help.

In 2013
- I buy CM Storm Xornet (It was amazing to me, I became an incredible player with this mouse) (but the sensor is broken after a few months of use in two times).

In 2014
- I test Razer naga 2014 (very comfortable, but the sensor was the worst he had ever had (I even bought razer Mouse pad for these mice)
- Logitech g400s (very good sensor but is not comfortable for me).
- Logitech g402 (Same as g400s)
- CM Storm Spawn (Very similar to Xornet but with better sensor, the problem is what the minimum dpi is 800 and the software not are very good)

In 2015
- I test Logitech g502 (not comfortable, it is heavy even without weights and shoddy, roulette moves sideways when I move the mouse, is normal in all models)

I have now seen the mouse CM Storm Xornet II, but many people speak ill of the sensor (hz are not stable, perhaps because the software)

In summary,
I want a mouse:
1- Slight
2- Design palm grip (as Xornet, Naos 3200 or similar)
3- Decent Software (to program macros, but do not need more than about 5 buttons on the mouse)
4- Very good optical sensor

(I do not care if the mouse costs $ 40 or $ 80), I just want a mouse with these conditions.

Now I have in mind these mice:
1- Xornet II (But DPI limited, only of 250 on 250)
2- Naos 3200
3- Naos 7000
4- (I need your help for find more, I don't have problem on wait if the mouse is released in the next months).

Can you help me find similar to add and decide which is the best option, maybe this can help many people, I'm sure many people want a mouse of this type, thanks!

The Logitech g402 is a great mouse for FPS gaming. It is long and sleek, great for palm grip. I'll give you a brief rundown of the g402. This is a part of a review I did comparing the Logitech G-Series Mice:


Logitech G402:
Shape: Smooth and sleek. The most smooth out of the 3. May slip out of your hand if you use fingertip grip and you're super weak lol.
Grip: The mouse is taller and larger than the G302, so it is more optimized for palm grip, but claw and fingertip grips are also viable.
Size: Bigger and taller than the G302. read above.
Buttons: 4 extra buttons. Very versatile for binds and DPI switch.
DPI: 240-4000, good for anything but this mouse is optimized for FPS.
Software: Same as G302.
Weight: 3.8 oz, heavier for good precision, making it an excellent mouse for flicking.
Extra Features: not much, but it is very good at clicking super fast haha
Price: 44.50 USD
Summary: A very good mouse to have in general if you use a lot of claw/palm grip. It is really good for FPS games such as CSGO, as the heavier weight gives you better precision and clicking faster is also good for that. Using your arm/wrist is more optimal for this mouse instead of using your fingers due to its size and button placement. Otherwise, this mouse is good for pretty much anything but is really good at FPS games. Comes in at a good price and 4 extra buttons are always handy.

Hello, as I explain in my post I had that mouse a few months.
It has a great sensor, but it is very uncomfortable for palm grip.
(I want one with support for the ring finger), after testing a design like CM Storm Xornet & Spawn, I never want a mouse without that similar design.

It is difficult to find something new with good sensor and that design, that's why I created this topic, thanks for your reply.

Hmm. You may be in luck. I actually have this mouse right now, and it includes a resting ring/pinky finger. It seems to be good for palm grip, after taking it out and testing it. It is also RGB and has a nice sensor which is a nice touch. It is a nice sizy mouse, so it isn't too light or too heavy. It goes up to 8600 DPI which is more than enough.

The model of the mouse is calle the Mionix Naos 8200: http://www.amazon.com/MIONIX-Multi-Color-Ergonomic-Laser-Gaming/dp/B00ANIRU7U

There is also a Mionic Naos 7000 with a similar shape, but I don't know how well the sensors work on that one.

I play with 400/800 dpi (I don't need 8600dpi haha) as the laser sensor, I've had very bad experiences with these sensors always, then I just want it with optical sensor.

The MeduZa Jealous have a good design but It does not seem a good mouse for FPS games by the position of the sensor, since you can only use one at a time and as I say, do not want laser.

The naos 7000 seems the best so far.
Could I have your opinion on the software for Naos 8200?

One more time, thanks for your help :)

The Naos 7000 and 8200 are about the same, the 7000 seems to just have a lower dpi.

The software for the Naos mice are very similar to the Logitech Software, allowing surface analysis and tuning along with speed, dpi, accel. toggle. You can also save in-game profiles using this feature.
