Ninox Aurora - Professional Gaming Mouse

If you know the history of this mouse, it has been an interesting journey for the Esreality community and BST. It was a mouse created based on user preferences and feedback and with the mission of producing the "modern WMO". Has BST / Ninox succeeded? Sort of..Firstly, the sensor feels great. In my honest opinion, it is better than other mice I have owned previously including the Zowie FK1, Microsoft WMO, Razer Copperhead, Razer Abyssus, Steelseries Kinzu... the list goes onThe shape and light weight are amazing! That is IF you want a lightweight and small mouse and use a fingertip grip, which I do. If you like your mouse to feel like a brick on the end of your arm and see gaming as a form of exercise, this is unlikely to be the mouse for you.Negatives: there seem to be reports that the drivers / reset features can essentially break the mouse. I therefore opted NOT to install the drivers and cannot comment on how well they function.There are also some quality control issues. I can confirm that there seems to be a delay in the response when clicking mouse 1 and mouse 2 simultaneously. This might break your rocket jumps. Personally, I am not good enough at Quake to really care. If you think you are going pro next year, this might cause you an issue.Verdict: If you are a wealthy PC gamer who can afford to buy this mouse and upgrade it once BST fixes the Quality control issues, then buy it now. If every penny is a prisoner to you and you would like a more polished product, you might want to wait. But if BST doesn't make any money from this, then there might never be a 2nd version. So support this product and be generous.Finally, buy it through amazon because the Ninox ordering system / website seems to be slightly dubious.

I've given this 3 stars because there are clear issues with the firmware of this mouse. You may read elsewhere about issues whereby a profile reset in the configuration software may cause an unusually low error threshold when moving the mouse at speed. I've not had that yet but considering how dodgy the mouse has been behaving, I can believe it.Mine won't work after I wake my computer from sleep. It simply requires a replug, but who would buy a mouse knowing they'd have to do this?The software is fairly simple and easy to use -- saving your config doesn't seem reliable though. I adjusted my lowest sensitivity profile to use 400DPI, however it didn't actually change it after applying. It was only when I went back to it change something else that it actually applied it.EDIT: and now when it DOES work after booting, the DPI settings aren't correct. The second and third profiles are the same setting. There is something seriously wrong with this mouse. I'm very close to sending it back.EDIT 2: the behaviour after waking from sleep seems to be almost completely random. There are several different flavours; you get full normal functionality; you get it stuck on the last profile used without ability to switch until replug; you get a mouse that won't move until replug; you'll get a working mouse but the profiles are mixed up and/or not what you set them to.There seems to have been next to no feedback from the manufacturer/designer to the community. I have not seen any information about new firmware. Who knows? Maybe it can be fixed. For now, the mouse is very nice in terms of usability, shape and so on. It's just bizarre that something we take for granted on most other mice is so completely unstable on this one. It's a pity really, because they were so close to something great.Oh, and it feels extremely cheaply made and has a really odd cable -- think VGA cables with ridges running along their length and you're close. Despite this I'd be giving it a 5 star rating if they could sort the low level issues with it -- it really feels nice to use due to the extreme lightness. I've heard the term 'raw' to describe sensors in mice, and this mouse starts to give me an idea of what they mean. It's extremely responsive. If you're just completely intrigued by the mouse, I won't say it's a total waste of money. I think we can assume that the reason for the current low price is to shift what's left of the inventory. If there were any news on the horizon of an update, that'd be nice. For now, just heed the warnings of the other reviewers and myself -- it won't be a smooth ride.EDIT 2: I highly doubt ANY professional gamer is using this mouse because if you spend just a few quid more you get a mouse of comparable performance that doesn't suffer from any such low-level issues that this one seems to have. I will say that 'when it works, it works' -- feels great in game.

Reveal unmatched performances, peoples can't believe my flicks.At 70g this "cheap felt" mice beat the G-pro/G102, the Final Mouse2015 and the zowie fk2. (All around 85g)FOR SMALL HANDS, CLAW GRIP STYLE.3main downsides are :- poor side buttons (thanks the OEM shape), some old games don't recognize them at all (Q3A).- "pointy ass" that might bother some peoples in fingertip- exist only in black (my setup is white)Had to buy one more in 2017, my scroll wheel become rusty.

Great mice !!Pro : - Very light. Amazing shape (great for Salmosa, Abyssus, G3 etc...replacement)- Amazing sensor (the best i've tested, no accélération),- Buttons* respond well. *Left one's are well placed.- Low LOD.- Cool software very pro and full, nice lights customisation.Cons : - Rope is not well balanced and a bit heavy compared to the shape, but it's still playble and a easy fixe.- The building shape matérial is really delicat, so be careful. (I hope the mouse last long)Anyway, i recommend 100% specially at sale, this is the best mouse i had since the Salmosa. I hesitated between this and the Kana v2, and i don't regret since the Christmas sale was really decent.

Very good mouse with a very suitable price. I was warned about some quality control issues but they didn't bother me at all. Maybe I got lucky and got a good unit.

Decent mouse for the price. Build quality aint as good as on some of the more expensive mice, buttons arent in line (left click is a bit higher then the right one) and u can press the back/forward buttons by squeazing the shell. Nothing that matters in everyday use tho. What matters is whats inside, great sensor (3090) and omron switches. Its also extremely light weight. Imo for this price u cant go wrong.
