Title: Feenix Nascita
Post by: Fragil1ty on Fri, 06 December 2013, 11:32:59
Is there any place that I can pick up a Feenix Nascita, preferably in the UK? I really cannot be bothered paying the expensive shipping charges and waiting 3 weeks for an item, especially so close to Christmas, I might not even get it before hand at this rate.

So is there like any 3rd party vendors that sell it off or whatever? there is like none on e-bay, like ever.


HALP.

They state on their site :

All Feenix products are sold exclusively through our online store www.feenixcollection.com.
Any product not sold exclusively through www.feenixcollection.com has the potential of not being an official Feenix product.
So I doubt you will find anyone else selling them, especially not in the UK.

I got my v1 Nascita after being on a wait list for 6 months, so they are a small company. I have a lot of issues with the mouse, and took part in their redesign questionnaire thingie they sent out last year to voice my concerns and after reading the new improvements on the v2, they addressed nearly every single one of my issues which is cool. The part that sucks is that now I feel like a guinea pig for their initial designs, and wasn't even offer a discount on the v2 for doing so. I realize it shouldn't be expected, but I would've bought the new one if they had instead of going back to using my Naos.

Feenix as a whole is just good marketing.

This is untrue of the v2. It's totally redesigned inside, and built from in-house parts by hand now.

I mean currently I'm rocking the Zowie EC2 eVo and it's a fantastic mouse, but I was just looking for that nice upgrade and this is the only mouse I want to be honest.

I may buy it, I'm toying with the idea at the moment.

Is the V2 worth the money, upgrade from my current mouse or should I just leave it?
