Just snagged a Castor for $55.99 - even cheaper than it was recently on Massdrop, plus Mionix always does free shipping.

To get this great deal you need to track down 3 different promo codes and enter them at checkout....

Nice, been wanting to try a new mouse with a modern sensor. Going from a Diamondback OG to an Avior (7000), so that should be fun to compare, both ambidextrous and optical. For some reason sculpted mice always feel bulkier to me.

How do these compare to Logitech mice?

I've got  G700s at home and a G502 at work.


I'm not very happy with the G502.

What don't you like about the 502?

Personally, I'm just not a fan of the shape. It has a great sensor, though.

Mionix mice are solid. They use quality sensors and they feel good in the hand. It's just about picking the one that has the right shape for you, really.

My biggest gripe with the 502 is the tracking is all over the place, I have to run the surface adjustment like once a week and the scroll wheel will scroll in and out on its own sometimes (this is in autocad so its a major pain).

Have you tried updated the driver/firmware? (i forgot which).

The G303, which uses the same sensor as the G502, had the same issue with the cursor skipping around randomly, which was fixed by an update

According to the logitech software it is all up to date.

Interesting. I know early on there were some weird tracking issues with the 502, but I thought they were resolved with software/firmware updates. I didn't keep mine long enough to find out, though.

And about the mousewheel, does it happen with both mwheel toggles? The more sensitive one was giving me grief, too. Even just resting my hand on the mouse could cause scrolling, but toggling to the "click" mode fixed it. If that's not the problem, then I don't know. Sorry =/

edit: some replies while I was typing, oops. Maybe try one of the default surface modes, instead of the calibration? I've never had much luck with those calibrations myself.

Could just be a bad mouse, though. Again, I didn't keep mine long enough to find out. The shape and weight were just too much for me.

Anyways, I've liked the Mionix mice I've tried. At these prices, they are definitely worth giving them a shot. If I didn't already have an Avior, I would buy one for sure.

My Naos 7000 is very comfortable and is a fantastic mouse; however, the middle click does not work properly a year in and it's not a common switch so I still haven't figured out what I need to swap it out.

Naos 7000 is nice and sturdy, though software is lacking :S
Can get cheaper at microsoft store if you're in Canada (mats are also cheap, no complaints with mine).

Apparently if you leave your cart with something in it they will kick you yet another 10% off coupon via email as buying incentive giving you a grand total of 30%

Meh I'd rather buy from Amazon. :P

Seriously considering trying one of their mice though, I'm just tired of logitech products.
