I'm a proud owner of a Razer Orochi. It sports bluetooth connectivity, 4000dpi laser sensor, and a compact ambidextrous design suitable for mobile (laptop) gamers and lefties/ambidextrous users.

I've recently moved to PC gaming and I'm looking for a bigger mouse that sits my palm comfortably. If it's not obvious enough, I want to shift from my claw grip to a more relaxed palm grip.

I generally play FPS games with DPI settings at 4000-3000. My in-game mouse sensitivity settings are at the low end and Windows mouse sens. is set at 6 (normal).

I'm confident I can sell my mouse for at least $25 (bought it for $90 five years ago). The Mionix Naos 3200 can be had at $32 while the Naos 8200 is $62.

TL;DR I want to have a bigger mouse suitable for palm grip users. I play on ~3000dpi. I'm OK with laser sensors. Is the Mionix Naos the perfect fit for me?

ps I've looked into the Razer Deathadder and I'm dissuaded by it's design and double-clicking issue :( My Orochi is performing perfectly fine right now though. Build quality is superb.

The Naos is a really popular choice for palm grippers, I am a fingertip gripper, but when I tried the 3200 out at my friend's house it was one of the most comfortable mice I've used.

I have also heard that the naos 7000 is a good high dpi alternative if you want optical, but you say you are ok with laser so I'll leave it up to you.

tldr: Naos is really comfortable if you use palm grip and has good button placement.
