Your four different LED zones are going to be here, here, here, and here.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"Welcome to my unboxing of the MeionX NaOS 8200. This is an allnew mouse from MeionX that actually takes what was already good about the NaOS 3200 and the NOS 5000 and kicks it up a notch. So, basically, we've got what is a pretty standard overall package here. So, you can see a picture of the mouse with the green mionics accents here. Although, it should be noted that those colors can be changed to any one of 16.8 million color options using the programmable LEDs that can be changed within the software. And it should also be noted that the ergonomics have thankfully not changed versus the previous NAS mice. They've also gone with an extremely small package. So, it's basically just the mouse and a couple of accessories tucked away inside of an outer box. Sensor specifications. Okay. So, 8200 DPI laser, 32bit 72 MHz ARM processor. Don't think of it in terms of 72 MHz. Think of it as 72 millions of hertz. Sort of one way of looking at it, right? So, okay, let's go ahead and have a close look at the packaging here. So, we've got a little fold out piece here. We've got a little plastic piece here. I gotta admit the packaging itself feels a little bit less deluxe than previous MeionX mice. But if the performance is anything to or if the performance is anything like what I'm used to, then it should be just fine. In fact, my wife is a bit of a picky peripheral user and refuses to use anything but her NaOS 3200 or the 5000 that she was using before, but I craftily snuck away when she wasn't looking. Anyway, so I'm going to get our B-roll camera to go ahead and have a look at what we've got here in terms of specs overall. So, award-winning ergonomic design, extremely comfortable. The overall shape of the mouse is quite frankly just awesome. So, you can see right here, whether you have smaller hands like me or whether you kind of have bigger hands and you're going to need to be sitting back a little bit further. The curve of the mouse is such that you can sort of sit back on it or choke up on it as much as you want and it'll be comfortable from either angle. So, I'm just going to go ahead and shift back over here so you can have a look from the other side. So, same thing here where you've got a curve right here for your pinky, a curve right here for your ring finger, and then comfortable placements for your index and your middle fingers as well as for your thumb on the other side. So, yeah, they haven't done away with that grip friendly rubber coating. So, it does use a soft touch feel overall to the mouse, which I personally prefer. I think that was a huge misstep for Steeler when they upgraded the ZY to the Sensei. Now, the newer uh the newer Sensei with the um MLG branding on it actually brings back that soft touch finish, and I think that is a very very important thing. Three-step in-game DPI adjustments. Okay, this is pretty standard for gaming mice these days. Seven buttons overall. So, you've got your back and forward buttons here. By the way, they're all programmable. You've got your DPI up and down buttons here, your mouse wheel click, as well as your left and right buttons here. That is pretty much it in terms of glowy spots. the mouse wheel, these DPI indicators here, as well as these buttons and the Mionics logo at the back will all glow. In-game profile switching. Okay. Extensive programmable macros. That's good. Six integrated LEDs in four color zones, so you can actually have multiple different color zones. That's kind of neat. I actually didn't know that already. Color shift function. So, you can use solid, blinking, pulsating, or breathing LED effects. You can adjust the polling rate. This is something that has been more of more of a thing in the more recent years. Actually, a long time ago, people didn't really talk about it at all. I remember you used to have to do like a manual override to change your mouse to a 1,00 uh hertz polling rate. So, that's uh that's very good. I mean, a 1000 hertz is a thousand times a second, which means we're taking the mouse down with a wired connection to as little input latency as is humanly possible or not humanly possible, just in general possible. Large PF PTFE feet. So, these right here are going to be the slip pads that are going to make it so that you don't actually have any sort of unintentional grip to the surface that you are putting it down on. So, hopefully you can see those pretty well there. There we go. So, those should be quite durable. Like I said, uh we've had one of their uh 3200 mice in deployment for quite a while. No complaints whatsoever. They're also quite thick, so large. and they have a like quite a quite a thickness to them, so they shouldn't wear down too quickly, but if they do, then sort of your mileage may vary, I suppose. Can't be my fault. Uh, gold-plated USB connection. This is less necessary than you might think. And then it's got a 2 m cable with braiding on it. So, let's go ahead and have a close look at that. So, the gold plating on the outside of the connector actually does absolutely nothing for the durability of the mouse. Uh, it's just for looks mostly. It's more important to have gold plating on the inside where those connectors are. So, gold is useful for these kinds of connectors because it doesn't oxidize and it's somewhat mal malleable, which means it's going to always make a good connection. Braided cable is high quality. It's a braided cable. This is something we're used to seeing on gaming mice, so that's good to see. And we'll be back in a moment with the mouse lit up so you guys can have a look at it. So, basically, guys, this last little bit here is just going to be to give you some overall glamour shots of the mouse itself. I'm not even going to let Slick's camera have any of the action at all. So, I'm just going to sort of turn it over, show you guys what it looks like. I mean, I have smallerish hands. In fact, Slick could even just put down his camera and come do a more practical demonstration of what a larger hand will look like on the mouse itself. So, here, just kind of give them a bit of a of a view there. So, in fact, here here's the mic. What What are What are your impressions of the shape? You've used one like this before, right? Yeah. Yeah. I can claw it still. So, that's really nice. But then, if someone had smaller hands, they could palm it very easily. Although, palming it with the size of a hand is kind of ridiculous. Okay, so there you go, guys. Smaller hands can Oh my goodness, look how sweaty his hands are. Check this out. Isn't that gross? It's disgusting. Um, so smaller hands, palm is very easy, very comfortable. You could also claw it with smaller hands, but I'd say it's optimized for small hand, palm, large hand, claw, and then sort of in between. I guess you could probably go either way because I have very small hands and then Slick has very, very large hands. So, I think that pretty much wraps it up. Oh, yeah. Your four different LED zones are going to be here, here, here, and here."}
