Mionix unveils ambidextrous gaming mouse

Part righty, part lefty – all gaming mouse.

Left handed gamers rejoice! There’s a gaming mouse that’s more than comfortable in ‘south paw mode’ with the announcement of the Mionix Avior 8200. The 8200 is ready to go for lefties as much as righties and offers a pretty nice range of bells and whistles.

“We developed the AVIOR 8200 to offer maximum customization and engineered with the best technology. Whether you are right or left handed, use a claw or palm grip, we have created the most ergonomic ambidextrous mouse on the market, suitable for any gamer.” says Peter Nygren, CEO at Mionix.

Ambidextrous mice are not exactly a common occurrence, and to see one that’s this well outfitted is even rarer. Mionix is no fly by night brand either as we gave their Naos 8200 some high marks previously and the Swedish company has quietly become an extremely solid gaming peripheral maker.
