MIONIX Back to Life, Introduces PRO Editions of Gaming Mice and Mousepads
Swedish gaming peripherals maker MIONIX, thought to be derelict, sprung back to life. The company refreshed its website with an all-new design, and announced new products. These include three new gaming mouse models, and a new line of gaming mousepads. The mouse lineup sees what are essentially "we're back!" refreshes to popular existing models. These include the Naos Pro, Avior Pro, and Castor Pro. The mousepad lineup sees the introduction of the Alioth series, which spans from 4:3 "M" size, all the way to rug-sized "4XL" that spans an entire desk top.
The new Pro line of mice see updates to their sensors, buttons, and surfaces, while retaining the essential design, shape, and button-format that made the originals popular. A common thread between the three is the new PixArt PMW-3370 sensor with 19,000 dpi resolution, 400 IPS tracking speed, 50 G acceleration, 1 ms response time, and 12,000 FPS frame-rate. The sensor talks to the driver over a new 16-bit data-format. The mice also feature an updated Arm SoC and 128 KB local storage for your settings. The LED lighting comes with 16.7 million colors. A soft-to-touch UV coating lines the top surfaces, while a 100% PTFE low-friction glide-feet can be found underside.
The Alioth line of mousepads comes in sizes of M (370 mm x 320 mm), L (460 mm x 400 mm), XL (900 mm x 400 mm), 2XL (1,200 mm x 500 mm), 3XL (1,400 mm x 600 mm), and 4XL (1,600 mm x 800 mm); all of which are 3 mm-tall. The surface is made of woven cloth with stitched edges, while the underside is anti-slip natural rubber. These also feature spill-resistance.
Prices of the new ware are as follows:

Good information to hear the company is solvent again, for now.
Even Thermaltake back in 2014, had a tough mouse, it was called the Ventus.
The G Pro, (Hero) has a very good feel when playing the Halo series. Over at BestBuy, there were also SteelSeries mice. Wondered if those can hold a candle to the most recent Logitech wired mice...
Damn this is going to be good, especially the Castor.
Had a Naos myself for a year back then, but it wasnt such a great mouse, as the shape would suggest by the looks. The G502 wich i bought after that was much better. Until the wireless logitechs came in.
And black goes with everything. That's why it's popular. Same goes for any of the neutrals.I once had an issue with their software during installation. After fixing it, it worked great thereon though.
