Do NOT buy a Mionix Naos 3200

[cris2900]

At first I wanted to buy the naos 7000 but it was nowhere to be found, most places were out of stock. I decided to go with the naos 3200 since it's price isn't bad and it offers the exact same ergonomics. I plugged and installed the mouse. I went into the software to customize the mouse (DPI, colors, macros, etc.). 

 

Here's where things get VERY rocky for me. I tried setting the side buttons to Left Shift but the software didn't allow me to set it (?), I eventually got around this by rebinding the controls in game to something different than shift (This obviously wasn't a solution). After that I wanted to customize the dpi settings just like any other mouse. I was dissappointed to find that there is literally no option in the software to SET A CUSTOM DPI (This makes absolutely no sense). You cound only set it to one of the three dpi steps being 800,1600 and 3200. Who in their right mind would make a mouse software and not have a custom dpi setting?!? Not to mention the fact that the mouse advertises DPI customization but you guys dont actually provide any useful control over DPI (Bigger troubles). Also, the mouse features color customization but the software doesn't allow for that, the only thing you can really do is change the dpi to change the colors (Again, this makes no sense). it seems like Mionix purposely hindered some products to make other products more viable, a blatant anti-consumer attitude.

 

A perfect mouse with dumb software makes this a dumb purchase. I am very disappointed with Mionix.

I feel like a review section of where you bought the mouse, or even the review section of the forum, would have been a more suitable place for this information.

Thanks for the heads up

Some sensors are locked to certain DPI steps, especially the cheaper ones. While it is nice to have a lot of control over the DPI, it comes at the cost of tracking quality. You really should have waited for the 7000 to restock if you wanted more customization options.
