ROCCAT Kone XTD or Mionix NAOS 8200?

[joecool922]

I'm looking for a gaming mouse. I like to play some FPS as well as some RTS as well. I've narrowed the choices down to either the ROCCAT Kone XTD or the Mionix NAOS 8200, but I'm having some trouble picking between the 2.
Just a quick note as well, I don't need an excessive amount of customizable buttons on my mouse, a few extra would be nice, but I don't need a specialized one that has tons of them, so really all I need is to decide between those 2.

I don't have any experience with the Mionex, but I love my ROCCAT Kone XTD. Probably the best mouse I've ever owned. It looks and feels great, and is highly customizable.

How many buttons do you get besides left/middle/right click?

The wheel can "click" in three different ways: straight down and also to the left and right. There are also three discrete buttons on top that are in line with the wheel: one in front of it, two in back. And two more buttons on the left side (just above the thumb, if you're right- handed). I guess that works out to eight (I'm counting the wheel as three). So, ten total buttons if you include the standard right and left clickers. They're all programmable: you can assign macros to any one of them, as well as simple remapping. If ten's not enough, one of the left side buttons doubles as a "shift" key, which allows you to essentially assign two fuctions to each button, giving you up to eighteen different control options.

The LED bands at the sides are also customizable, there are many colors and special effects available (blinking, flowing, etc.). I really can't think of anything negative to say about this mouse, it's awesome. And no, I don't work for them ;-)

EDIT: I guess it's eighteen functions if you reserve a button for the "shift", not nineteen. Still pretty good...

Ok, thanks!
