Internal Analysis
Removing the shell of the Naos Pro is simple as you must remove five small screws. The tricky part here is to remove the feet of the mouse without damaging them.
The case of the Naos Pro has received plenty of reinforcements on the upper side, and the flexing is minimal.
The internal layout of this mouse is good, with a two-level PCB design and a minimal usage of wires. The front clicks use Kailh GM 8.0 transparent switches, these are rated for 80 mil. clicks and have good tactile feedback, they require an operating force of 65 grams to register. Thanks to their performance, the Kailh GM 8.0 transparent switches are used on many new gaming mice.
The middle scroll wheel button has a TTC switch. This switch has a black casing with a black dot. The tactile feedback of this switch is good and the same can be said for the sound it generates.
The encoder used to register the rotation of the scroll wheel is made by Alps and is the Alps 11 model.
The side buttons use TTC made switches, these have a black casing and red plunger. The tactile feedback of these switches is good.
The two DPI buttons placed at the top of the mouse use mechanical switches made by a company that I was unable to identify.
The cable is attached to the PCB through a single 4 Pin plastic connector. This means that the cable can be replaced or modified with ease.
The main control unit used on this mouse is a STM32 manufactured by STMicroelectronics.
