The Big Question

[Adry]

Hello guys ! I am willing to buy a mice but I am not sure if i want a optic or laser one. I like the Mionix Naos 3200 and 5000 , there is a diference in price betwen these two so I want to hear so pros and cons from ya! Naos 3200  or Naos 5000?

The only difference is DPI, and DPI is personal preference...

but practially nobody uses over 3k. there are those who do, but most wont

so the 3200 should be fine

The only noticeable difference as you already said yourself is optical vs laser. Some fanatics still prefer optical sensors for some reason, however I would say that you will never notice a difference. The Naos 5000 has a higher DPI ceiling, but you will most likely never get close to it, personally I switch between 1600 for regular use and 800 for fine work.

wrong. 

 

The 3200 and the 5000 have a ton of other features that are different. 

The biggest difference is, the 5000 has adjustable weights and a full RGB LED system. 

 

i say get the 5000. my 3200 feels too light IMO

[OutlawedConsole]

you should be fine with the 3200

dont listen to the people who say that optical and laser dont make a difference! laser sensors are not good for gaming because they have acceleration and a lot of the times prediction too, which both of those will mess up your accuracy. the only advantage of a laser sensor to an optical one is that it can track on more surfaces than a optical sensor

The surface isn`t the broblem , I use a Steelseries mouse pad .

still, lase sensors will give you accel and prediction so go for an optical sensor.

[Altecice]

Yup as stated, for FPS gaming you should ALWAYS go for an optical sensor, Laser gives you acceleration and prediction and that's BAD.

 

The best sensor atm is the Deathadder2013 IMO.

 

Most pros use 400-1000 DPI when gaming, I currently find playing BF4 900DPI is nice for 5750x1080p

that doesnt mean that people should copy their DPI settings. just because pros use those DPI settings doesnt mean those are the best DPI settings.

So..in conclusion I should buy the Naos 5000 , even if i don`t use it at full DPI setings , for the features that it has over the 3200?

you should buy the 3200 because it has an optical sensor

Another thing to factor in is that if you're planning to move to a very high resolution monitor very soon (ie 4K) you will need higher DPI...

 

Aside from that, the optical mouse sounds like a great bet.

Mr. Tech Tips I am not planning to move to the 4k res , now i am using an old LCD ( LG Flatron W1934S ) which has a resolution of 1440x900 . Sooo yeah...

Even if you were the max 3200 dpi from the optical mouse would be enough
