I have 3 Avior 7000's.. all great. But they seem to vary in their clicks (left vs right) and scrollwheels (sturdiness). But all solid so far.

What do you dislike about 'm? And why did you order the Castor?

Only thing I'm afraid of with the Castor is that the 'ergonomic' right side is too much like the Naos.. I really didn't like that shape in my hand.

In avior i dislike right side buttons, they are huge and i cant get a good grip w/o pressing them. And i ordered castor just to try how would ergonomic mionix feel.

Can't wait to try this baby out in my right hand........

Just received my Castor today and all I can say is AMAZING, this has to be the MOST perfect input device ever created for my Right Hand.

Gawd must of lamented losing his Castor off his desk, as it fell from the heavens. It has found a new home with my PC and I shall never give it back no matter what.

The Lord has lost his due to his own ignorance and bestowed upon us mortal men, a treasure that shall be honoured and worshipped for decades to come.

The Castor is pure PERFECTION, whilst all of Razer's Evil Brood of Filth and Misfortune, represents the atrocity of demons dragging you down into the depths of Hell.

Post by: anarkari on Tue, 03 November 2015, 01:50:57: I ordered one from the first Massdrop GB before they were released. This is the best mouse I've ever used. I quit using a Logitech 502 to switch to this. So much lighter and easier on my hand. Not so many annoying buttons.

Post by: gadzkun on Tue, 03 November 2015, 04:46:59: im using zowie EC2 now.
i really like this zowie grip and sensor.
but ive heard mionix more more more good at sensor.
so im want to change between mionix castor or naos.
but i dont know which grip would suit my taste.
which one have almost identical grip like my zowie.
i buy avior 7000 last time and really not suitable.

Post by: daerid on Tue, 03 November 2015, 17:57:17: Ok got my Castor today. This thing's really, really f**kin cool. Way lighter than I'm used to, and the matte finish seems to be shining super fast. But all in all it's fantastic.

Thank you! I was hoping to also get a shot from dead on the side, to compare their height and curve!
