Post by: davkol on Tue, 11 March 2014, 08:50:06: Interesting. The mouse looks like it would be about perfect for me, although a bit bulky.

However, it's $67 shipped, add ~20% tax and you're at $80. Meanwhile, it's €90 shipped *including a mousepad* (at least resale value) in Europe, and I can't seem to find any information on warranty.

Post by: nubbinator on Tue, 11 March 2014, 09:21:15: If it had the same shape as the Naos, I'd be all over it.

Post by: davkol on Tue, 11 March 2014, 09:34:26: Slightly bigger than the typical ambidextrous OEM mouse (think Logitech RX-250, the old blue-silver Dell-branded Logitech etc.).

Looks close to the sensei.
Although, personally I want the Naos.

Can you do a side by side with the rival when you've got the chance?

Would I be able to actually tell the difference? I don't want to seem snobby or anything, just want to know if I should dive into this or not.

Chances are you won't notice it, and unless you do serious precision gaming it won't matter even if you do notice it. Getting a better sensor isn't a bad thing, but if you've got a Sensei already and are happy with it you should stick with that.

Personally, I'm mostly staying away from Mionix after my experience with the Naos 5k, but their pads do interest me.

Post by: pepijndevos on Wed, 12 March 2014, 17:41:32: Hmmm, I worry, I worry.

Yes, shipping, tax and warranty make it less than ideal. I got my TrulyErgonomic from Massdrop. Ended up costing just as much as if I'd have bought it elsewhere.

@suko: how is it for your hands? The mouse suddenly looks tiny. My hands are also 21cm.
