A piece of craftsmanship that needs perfecting
I have mixed feelings about this mouse...The ergonomics are good with the mouse fitting my hand very well. The tracking is good too.RGB is just RGB, nothing special there. The software utility has a lot of options available and doesn't even have to be installed to operate.A major downside in my opinion are the buttons. They feel mushy and don't give you enough tactile feedback when you press them. It becomes a problem when you are wearing a headset and can't tell how many clicks you've made. Another annoying thing is that you can't rest your hand on the mouse due to the second mouse button being very sensitive. It doesn't take a lot to press the button and I found myself constantly missclicking it with my middle finger even though I don't have large/heavy hands.Overall not a bad mouse but I would not recommend it for competitive gaming. Had to send mine back for a refund due to the above.

Decent mouse
Its technically a "gaming mouse" but it doesn't have a lot of the settings/features the likes of Logitech/razer would give you. Its fairly comfortable and should be great for most people. ( I have large hands and it was still good).2 Main gripes.- The liftoff distance cannot be changed and this messed my aim up a bit in csgo as i am a mou$eLifter.- The clicks are fairly loud and harder to press than e.g a deathadder.For that i will be giving this mouse awayHowever it is still a vary nice mouse and i would recommend it to most average gamers due to the low price but still getting a good sensor, braided cable and side buttons.

Perfect shape and sensor
Perfect shape and sensor, i needed a new mouse after my razer naga 2012's switches finally broke, i tried out a few others like the logitech g402 which is a good mouse with a great sensor but the weight and shape were really hard to get used to, the rival 100 was also another i tried but the "safe shape" of it felt really uncomfortable to me. finally i found this, its a really nice shape with a really comfortable rubberized hard plastic coating giving it a nice grip feel, it doesn't weigh alot (around 86 grams i think), i found the sensor is super responsive and snappy and doesn't rattle when you shake the mouse. another thing i like is all the buttons on the mouse require significantly less actuation force than those on the logitech g402.as for the software it's a little clunky but that could be fixed with firmware updates in the future, other than its easy to use. the only thing i can really think of that i dont like is that the cable comes bundled up in lots of short folds so its all zig zagy and catches of your desk so i had to straighten mine out for a few days, other than that the braided cable seems very good quality and smooth. all in all this mouse is a 5 out of 5 for me, really pleased with it.

A great mouse from the best known company you've (probably) never heard of.
After 2 years of "Putting up with" an existing gaming mouse from one of the big 4 gaming companies I decided that actually, comfort and accuracy was more important than features, macros and all sorts of bells and whistles.This is a pretty light mouse compared to ones i've used in the past and the sensor in this thing just appears to go where i want it to, I know that sounds stupid for a mouse review, and yeah, it does sound pretty dumb reading it back - but it's just accurate, I know when i'm aiming somewhere I shouldn't be, THAT is user error, this thing does what it's told.I wish I'd switched sooner, as this is by far the best mouse i've used. Check out some YouTube reviews from people who go into more depth, or take my word for it, i watched hours of reviews of mouse sensors (zzzz) and just buy it!

CASTOR or MAOS?
Another awesome bit of kit by Mionix.Its light, Agile and responsive and features all the overkil you could want in the DPI spectrum with a simple to use software which will let you tailor the usage.From the RGB lighting to the sensitivity and optimization of the sensor on your surface.However i do prefer the NAOS series.I have reasonably large hands and find the NAOS a bit easier to be precise with because of how my hand sits on it. While the Castor has a more traditional feel towards it.The NAOS also has a bar on the side which will let you know which DPI setting you have it set to making it easier to change on the fly. Something which urks me with the Castor.Both are great mice however!
