Mionix Naos 5000

Overview

The Mionix Naos 5000 features up and down DPI selection buttons and left side thumb buttons. The scroll wheel has a grippy rubber surface, nice tactical feel and is easy to depress. The edges of the scroll wheel light up as part of the customizable lighting system. In addition to the two thumb buttons on the left side, there are also three lights that indicate which DPI profile you are using.
