Why do people still bother with this mouse?

Because of the shape, sensor and sensor.

There is a widespread issue where the driver (possibly when pressing the reset settings button) causes the mouse to have a significantly lower malfunction speed, which persists even after removing the software and plugging into a different computer. Some have reported that using the driver on a different system may fix the problem. I have not experienced this myself because I heard reports of the problem and avoided using the driver.

May i ask what you make out of this? You already posted this in his mouse thread. Everyone knows bst doesn't bother anymore with this project. Why would he want to log in? To read nothing than rage PM's? He logged in more recently on OCN btw.

Wouldn't you avoid the masses like the plague if people were having issues with a product they spent good money on after hyping it forever? The least they could do is acknowledge the issues with this product. I would never buy one because of the support issues. Zowie fan all the way.

He owes quite a lot of money to people who he didn't even send the mice to. Personally, he owes me about $100 to this day.

Plus, the quality control of his product was really awful, and Ninox has never fulfilled any sort of warranty.

He left OCN several months ago, after several people reported those issues.

At the end of the day the whole Ninox Aurora project ended up being a scam, with bst being a scammer. Sounds harsh, but what he offered was nothing like the actual product, and he ran with the money of lots of people without sending anything at all.

I've been enjoying my Ninox Aurora for about a year now, I don't feel scammed at all.

I agree with your points, but calling it a scam would be incorrect. Call it a failure, add any adjective you find that fits.

Would be a mere 'failure' (more like false advertisement) if the final product wasn't nowhere near as good as advertised, or not work at all. It is not, because while the final product wasn't as good as advertised, still people report that at least it works well enough for gaming, while it only has one severe flaw of the mouse dying for good when installing/using the drivers.

But in this case what happened is different, and that is that a year ago bst disappeared with the money of dozens to hundreds of people without sending any product at all. I happen to be the only one that posts in ESR, but OCN is filled with people reporting the same.

For that he put an online store, then six months after he appeared offering refunds at OCN to those who he didn't ship the order to, that at the exact date of the PayPal warranty deadline so that people didn't use it, but that was the last time he appeared on the internet and to this day he hasn't fulfilled a single refund, that in about one year and six months so far.

That's a scam; deliberate, not a 'failure' or an 'error'.

Well, you're right, though my viewpoint was that the execution failed and the service deliverables failed, but it's not exactly a scam. To me a scam would be where he intended to cheat and make a quick buck, so to speak, and hence took pre-orders and then no one ever saw either him or the mouse or their money (which happened for some, not all).

Here, the intentions seemed legitimate but everything else was subpar and did not meet expectations. It could be compared to how a AAA game title comes out as advertised but isn't optimized and/or glitched to hell. That's not a scam in my opinion, that's just fucking up big time. Though bst not 'patching' the situation after release is horrendous.

I wonder, since it says "Sold by Ninox Fulfilled by Amazon", when someone orders the mouse from Amazon now does it mean someone ships it to Amazon's warehouse who then ship it to the customer? If yes, does that mean bst or someone else is still handling units?

Since you can get next day delivery in the UK at least, then the mice are already in Amazon's warehouse.

Well, I'm still using my beta mouse and have been for ages now. It's the best mouse I've had and I dont plan on changing until it breaks. Might even just order a new Ninox mouse if this ever breaks down

The one i had was simply allergic to certain cloth mats. Perfect on qck, shite on my perixx mat. Driver bug didnt occur.
