Unboxing:

After we opened the box we see something really simple without much "stuff" sometimes unnecessary! The mouse is accompanied by a metallic box with weights and a small booklet with some information! The only thing to point is the lack of CD with the software, but you can find it easily available on the website!

We see a mouse with a very good design and we can not fail to notice the support for the fingers that i a nice point in this mouse!

The Base:

We can see a very wide base whith also proportional skates to the size of it! We also have the access to the place where the weights can be adjusted, which can take four weights on the right side and the other four on the left side, for providing a better balance without tending to one side!

Comparative

The Razer is slightly higher than the Naos 5000! The plastic touch from the Razer Imperator leaves something to be desired, making this a good point for the Naos 5000, making it a very comfortable mouse an a nice touch, even after a few hours of use! It’s always nice test the options that you have before purchase if possible due to reasons already discussed several times that do not discuss personal tastes! However the doubt may arise.

After presenting the software menus from the mouse that we see is something very simple, objective and easy to use! However the most attentive noticed that there is something for which the trademark flame SQAT - Surface Quality Analyzer Tool ... Nothing less than a small test to show us whether we are using the best surface for the Naos 5000, that is where we will use the mouse pads!

Mouse Pads:

Tests:

This first test was conducted over a sheet of paper, can see that the surface will not be the best choice for sure! test shows that would have an acceptable quality!

http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/soul_train_photos/FolhaPapel.png

Test 2:

The mouse pad in this test is the Q-Pad (Command & Conquer Edition) quite comfortable for its thickness and materials used in its construction but by testing it appears that the Naos not like him very much just giving it a less good!


http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/soul_train_photos/Q-pad-CCLE.png

Test 3:

We then proceeded to test the Ozone Exposure that is indeed well known to many of us and it has been a best seller for the quality and price, however has not been rutty the price and almost succeeded but was an excellent a little above the good!

http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/soul_train_photos/Tapete-Ozone.png

Test 4:

Finally fot the last test with the pad Q-Pad EC-R proved to be the best carpet in this test achieving almost perfection at the best surface for this mouse!

http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/soul_train_photos/Q-pad-EC-R.png

Advantages

Have a design quite appealing and a good contact between hand and surface!

The feet provide good slip of the mouse!

Pleasant and attractive packaging!

The possibility of changing the colors of the lights!

Creating profiles and macros as needed!

Simplicity software provides easy use and handling!

Disadvantages

Would indicate that the location fits the little finger was slightly higher there would be the perfect mouse, at least for anyone who has a big hand!

The point of this mouse is very little i would say that the failure to bring the CD with the drivers is something that the brand should take into account and made in this package!

This mouse it will be a best seller that for sure!
The note would give to this mouse in a scale 0-10 would be 9 because it provides comfort in use also has a very user-friendly software which just help us!

I hope you enjoy :up:

I think it looks more like Ozone Smog gaming mouse. Even it has same 5040 DPi max. Plus it looks like more nicely designed, but same mouse. For example the grip on right side is same as for Smog.
