Introduction

Mionix made a name for itself with the NAOS design which was first launched in 2010. A couple weeks ago, we had the pleasure of reviewing the revamped NAOS featuring Avago's latest and greatest sensor technology and will now take a good and hard look at Mionix's first ambidextrous high-end gaming mouse. It is dubbed the AVIOR and features the same Avago ADNS-9800 laser sensor as the NAOS 8200.

The similarities under the hood are many, but grip and ergonomics have been altered a lot. The AVIOR works for both right- and left-handed people and is meant to be used with a palm-type grip.

The newest Mionix mouse costs $89, which is as much as the NAOS.
