What’s the malfunction speed of the Naos?

Damn, I’d really like Sujoy to refresh his Mousescore with the new generation of mice…

Quoted from Iller

[…]

The tracking speed is 5.1 m/s.

I agree that it would be very nice to get a new Mousescore test instead of all too subjective tests out there.

A laser mouse that support 30g accel ? Sounds good , but the price 79€ … :/
I’ll give the DA a try :)

Any mouse that you feel it works well is good

Well, there are other new better laser mice except the Naos.
The Storm Sentinel for example is a new laser mouse which has recieved good reviews. It is also considerably cheaper than the Naos. Haven’t tested it for myself though.

Also if you liked the shape of your G9, you have the improved version : G9x.

Then there is the G500, the improved G5.

Also, you have the Qpad 5K someone else mentioned here.

However, most people seemed to like their Deathadders so I guess this is not a bad choice.

Google knows everything.

DPI is dots per inch, it also relates directly to the mouse READING, along with the movement on screen. So that said, if you use a 1024×786 screen rez, and you having a 1000DPI mouse, it would ‘technicly’ take 1 inch to move from one side to the other.

But it also relates to how many ‘screen shots’ the mouse takes per second. So higher dpi = more screen shots per ‘movement cycle’ which translates into a smoother movement of your mouse, and yields a higher speed.

You can also reduce your movement speed (most commonly done in the game you are playing) to adjust the higher speed.

So if you go from a 400 dpi mouse with 4 sensitivity, a 1600 DPI mouse and a 1 sensitivity would give you the same speed, but higher precision.

You have to watch out for which mouse you buy and do research, SOME MICE labled as high gaming mice, react strange to high dpi / low sensitivity and develope the situation of ‘negitive accel’ So please do research into the mice you are buying.

the mouse DPI means that, the number of points in 1 cm square which are been reading by mouse sensor. the more DPI, the better mouse reaction.

just get the 518 gobi! silly french with swedish avatar

Maybe someone who has time to spend for the etf2l community could gather all informations about mice, and make a new and unique thread for them ?
Or make it a sub-forum in the support section ?

Old, thought. Anyway, sensorwise, you won’t ever get a better one than the ones from MX518 and DeathAdder…

Anyway, most people can use successfuly mices with worse sensors, without losing any accuracy – its dificult or rare to move the mouse faster than 2m/s.
I use 25cm/360º in Quake and scout/sniper, and yet the highest speed I usually achieve while playing normally is around 1.9m/s (measured with http://enotus.at.tut.by/Files/MouseTest.exe)

I have now bought the Mionix Naos 5000 and I have to say it’s a great mouse! I love the shape and the sensor is working great, no malfunction at all, and I play pretty low sense (40cm/180dgr)
It also had zero accel.

So for me it’s like the deathadder with better drivers (Dpi switch is great on the Naos) and a better shape.

Thx to Iller for making me aware of this mouse ;)
