Thanks to the new ADNS 3310 sensor which is also present inside the SteelSeries Rival we get optimal precision, with no positive or negative acceleration and a maximum speed of 215 IPS all the way up to 7000DPI. The chassis design fits like a glove for right-handers and to the comfort also contributes the multi-layer rubber coating. As already reported by some of the users, the rubber finish collects oils from our skin and we may expect after some weeks to see circular shapes in the areas we will touch the mouse most.

Compared to the 8200 version, the mouse does now lack the DPI LEDs on the chassis, but we cannot say we miss them a lot; almost all customization options are here inside the downloadable application which allows saving multiple profiles, three DPI levels of sensitivity, LED light color setup, Macros and more.

In our tests we have included free-to-play MMORPGs, RPGs and strategy games. The mouse was used on the Ensis 320 aluminum for which we have obtained a S.Q.A.T. value of 80% and while gaming on Full HD we have adjusted the DPI steps between 800 and 1600. During this time the mouse tracked really smooth, without unusual cursor skips or other issues.

We are tempted to recommend the new series over the 8200 revisions because there is not a very big difference in DPI and they track wonderfully thanks to the ADNS 3310 sensor; the features we lose from the higher-priced variants should not matter at all.

The new Mionix Naos 7000 is available online for about 77 Euros while the 8200 version can be had for about 91 Euros.
