Software

The Naos-M comes with its own software that isn't compatible with the Mira-S/M software. All available options are accessible on a single page: profile management, button remapping, and macro functionality, with four tabs on the right side for CPI settings, lighting, mouse parameters, and polling rate (125/250/500/1000 Hz). CPI adjustment is possible from 100 to 12,000 CPI and in increments of 100 CPI for up to six levels, which can be color-coded and set up independently for the x and y-axis. "Mouse parameter" controls the default Windows cursor settings and includes settings for LOD (2 or 3 mm) and debounce delay (4–16 ms, in increments of 2 ms, default being 10 ms). When applied, all settings are saved to the on-board memory, so the software does not need to be running (or be installed) all the time. On my system, the software had a RAM footprint of 11 MB on average.

Lighting

The Naos-M has three zones for RGB lighting, which are the scroll wheel and two side LED stripes. A total of nine pre-defined lighting effects are available in the software. These are Colorful Streaming (default), Steady, Breathing, Colorful Tail, Neon, Colorful Steady, Flicker, Stars Twinkle, and Wave. For most effects, it is possible to adjust the direction and speed of transitions. Of course, the lighting can also be disabled altogether.

Color accuracy and vibrancy are excellent throughout. Here's a short demonstration video in which I'm going through the Colorful Streaming, Breathing, and Colorful Tail lighting effects:
