Just got my Naos today. First impressions are that it's really light. Almost as light as the CMStorm Xornet (or Spawn as it is now). Right and left clicks are really solid, right click slightly lighter than left. The braided cable is a nice touch.
Scroll wheel is harder than most mice I've used before (mostly the CMStorm Xornet and various logitech wireless mice) and doesn't have side scrolling capabilities. The side buttons are nice and large, fairly easy to press, but don't get in the way during normal or gaming use.
I have large hands, but I still need to use a hybrid palm/claw grip. The mouse isn't long enough to rest my hand on and get the type of precision I'd like.
I haven't bothered with the software, because I've heard it's pretty bad and I don't need any more customization than the dpi buttons.

protosstheheroI also have fairly big hands. I use a Xornet with the claw-grip and I love it. Do you think I can claw-grip the Naos easily ?

xSpeedyBulletMy Naos and Avior arrived today in the mail here in Australia. Very happy! Couldn't decide which mouse to get so I got both (due to both mice being heavily discounted) after hearing the Naos being praised for being extremely comfortable, but the Avior being more suited to claw grip which is my preferred grip.
@xSpeedyBullet My hands are 20 centimetres long and I can claw grip the Naos very comfortably

protosstheheroJust got my Naos yesterday. Shipment to Poland took less than 2 weeks which is surprising in a good way.
I share your feelings about the mouse with one exception to scroll wheel which scrolls comfortably for me (it's as easy/hard to scroll as SS Rival's one).
The problem is, the ring finger rest is WAY too short for my palm, like 1-1.5 centimeters off. I'd like it to be shaped just like Razer's Naga 2014 or Logi's G600. My hand is 20.5-21 cm long and is fairly thin.
My second concern is a coating. Seriously, this mouse is the biggest fingerprint magnet I've ever used in my entire life. And I've had, what, like 15 mice, including Roccat, MadCatz, Logitech, Steelseries and so on. I'd hand over the coating, even if it's so smooth and pleasing.

NorsquallWhich one do you prefer for claw gripping? I use a claw grip too but although I can I'm not willing to buy both mice. :P
My hands are 22 centimeters. I'm leaning towards the Avior because I'm not sure I want a mice that is exclusively for palm grippers like the Naos.

Shaqo_WynFor people with 21=+ centimeter-long hands Naos will be impossible to grip comfortably. In fingertip grip, you won't be able to reach the farther thumb button and in palm grip the ring finger rest will be just too short. Unfortunately, Naos is not a mouse for claw grippers neither. The only solution is... HAVE MEDIUM SIZED HANDS. :( ...or buy other mouse. I think that one's actually manageable.

Shaqo_Wyn @Shaqo_Wyn
I can't say for sure right now, because I'm still getting used to both of them, however the Avior appears to offer the better claw grip
I like the Naos because because the pinky and ring finger rests ensure that my ring and pinky fingers have a place to rest. However, because of the above mentioned rests, the overall frame of the mouse is a little bit wider than the average mouse. I've previously owned the CM storm Xornet and the Logitech G400 and have claw gripped on those. One of the only things that stand out when claw gripping the Naos compared to claw gripping the Avior, Xornet or G400 means that you have to stretch your ring and pinky a little further which I can adapt to, but others may not be willing.
That said, we all have our own preferences, some people can adapt to gripping a certain mouse design better than others, so overall I can't say which would be better suited for you
Indrasil has a very good point, most mice companies design their mice to cater for the average medium hand sized user, therefore people with larger hands have to be more careful when choosing a mouse that would be comfortable for them
Also, Mionix is going to release a new mouse in March called the Caster/ Castor which appears to be a good claw gripper http://www.overclock.net/t/1508346/new-mionix-mouse

NorsquallThanks for your advice! I did some more research and spoke to some owners of similar mice. It seems the Avior 7000 is the mouse for me. It's easier to lift and much better fitting for a low-sense user like me. The Caster looks nice but I don't think I'm going to wait till March. :P
I'm ordering the Avior when it comes available and the Zowie FK1.
Thanks again for your help! :)

xSpeedyBulletIf you can get used to having your claw grip extended a little, then yes. I find I'm still using a claw-grip when using the mouse, but with my palm at a lower angle relative to the mousepad.
