Looking for a new gaming mouse since my Corsair Scimitar died. (Yes, I voided my warranty and learned my lesson :\) Realized I really wasn't using the buttons all that much, and wanted to focus on ergonomics for a new mouse. Mionix Castor and Naos 7000 are both strong contenders so far, but I would love to hear any suggestions/ experiences you may have. Thanks in advance!

I'm actually in a similar situation at this point. The scroll-wheel-click/middle-click in my Naos 8200 is going bad

(searching around, it looks like I might not be the only one)

 

Honestly not too sure if I could recommend a mouse from Mionix at this point as I've ended up having a fair number of issues with the NAOS 8200 customization software, from it failing to apply settings when I change some of the RGB customization to it failing to update the mouse when I use the built-in firmware update feature (even leaving the mouse what seemed to be bricked at one point until I downloaded a version directly from the manufacturer). Now that the hardware is starting to go, too, after probably like 1.5 years, I'm not sure I'm a super happy customer.

 

It's really too bad because ergonomically, I really love this mouse, and up until recently, I was just accepting that the software isn't that great, but as long as I didn't touch it too much, things were pretty much fine.

Just to post this as an update for somewhere (since the reddit thread I originally looked at is closed), pulling up the left and right click switches and blowing some compressed air into the Mionix body seems to have fixed my middle click for now. Must have been some dust or something that was building up on the switch.
