    Interesting indeed. It looks like Logitech's form factors met with Razer's style.

    Once you lose the tether you never go back.

    Once you lose the tether wireless lag eventually makes you go back...

    Yeah i've looked into the mamba, and it just didnt "do" it for me. I guess i'm going to be stuck with more simple mouse, no worries though.

    I know i hat that little cord always weighing me down and getting hung up on stuff. I understand they are better for really intense stuff, but i just cant stand a cord.

    As i am an RTS/RPG player i very seriously doubt wireless lag will EVER effect my games. A few milliseconds here or there wont kill me ;)

    I can understand FPS player NEEDING to be tethered because a split second might be the difference between winning and losing, but there are still alot of gamers that either dont play at that level, or dont play those types of games; where we want a decent mouse but cant stand wires.


    Back to the topic though, i really like the looks of the Naos. It doesnt have the absolute highest DPI but at 5k that is pretty amazing.
    I wonder why i've never heard of this company before... are they new or just not very well known

    The new Razer DeathAdder and Logitech G9/G9x have a braided fiber cord that really helps with snagging. Also, you might like the Logitech G7; it's got a similar shape to the G9 and MX518, but it's wireless.
