Mionix NAOS 5000 Gaming Mouse Now Features Angle Snapping


Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido),

Mionix, the Swedish manufacturer of professional high-end gaming accessories has introduced completely new functionality to the Mionix Naos 5000. This exclusive new software version is only available for the Naos 5000 from today and can be downloaded from the Mionix website. The soft­ware version 1.17 is fully compatible with any Naos 5000.Mionix NAOS 5000

WHAT IS ANGLE SNAPPING?

When making horizontal or vertical movements, the human hand is incapable of making a straight movement without tiny deviations. Angle Snapping senses these deviations and corrects them algorithmically, this is not prediction of the future movement it only corrects the path made.

"We wanted to make our best mouse even better so we listened to our users and developed fully adjustable Angle Snapping for the Naos 5000.", said Carl Conradsson of Mionix.

SOFTWARE 1.17 CHANGELOG

  • New feature added, Angle Snapping
  • Bug fixed, 125Hz mode now works properly
  • Updated GUI

It certainly sounds like it could be great for some forms of gaming but then it could also be detrimental when precision movements are required, for example, lining up a sniper shot, etc. Perhaps GDN needs to get our hands on one of these to determine just how it affects gaming in some genres.
