A recent HEXUS QOTW found that there are plenty of gamers out there using mice from familiar brands such as Microsoft, Logitech and Razer. It's a market that appears to be difficult for newcomers to break into, though not through a lack of effort or willingness.

One brand that's slowly but surely making inroads is Swedish outfit Mionix. Founded in 2007, the company, like so many others, has sights set exclusively on high-end gamers and has built up an attractive portfolio of products in next to no time.

The Avior 7000 and Naos 7000 mice, priced at £70 apiece, are two recent additions and both are under the microscope today.
