Packaging
The Nascita’s packaging is very simple, with no image or fancy marketing material that can be seen. The white box is a bit big with the Feenix logo embossed at the center of it. Just by looking at the box, you’d think that this was a box of jewels instead of a gaming mouse.
When the package is opened, you see the Nascita mouse fitted snuggly in a plastic container. At the bottom of the box is a substitute set of Teflon feet for the Nascita.
The Nascita itself is gorgeous mouse. It’s a great looking mouse with a black and dark silver color scheme. The buttons near the mouse wheel adds a bit of style to balance out what would be an otherwise dark mouse. The Feenix logo on the palm rest lights up when the mouse is connected.
On the left side of the mouse, you’ll see two buttons near the thumb rest for easier access to browsing. Near the thumbrest, there is a little screen that shows the DPI of the Nascita. The mouse can reach up to 8200 DPI, which can be controlled by the two buttons near the mouse wheel.
The cables are braided with a cable holder at the middle of the length of the cable. At the end is the USB connector.
User Experience and Conclusion
First thing that I noticed about the Nascita is that it was bigger than most gaming mice. I had to really extend my hand to place my fingers on the right places on the mouse. But, even though the size is something to deal with, the surface of the palm rest as well as the design of the mouse makes it so that it helps me get a great grip on the mouse.
The buttons of the Nascita are great. Thanks to the OMRON switches, they are really responsive and they don’t need a lot of force to activate. The only thing that bugs me is that the buttons that control the polling rate, which are the buttons near the mouse wheel, need a bit more force to activate.
The Nascita helps me be a lot accurate with my skill shots because its weight and adjustable polling rate gives me options to customize my settings, but not to a level that I would want. It would also be great if the buttons were programmable because the best buttons, which are the buttons near the thumb rest, are only used for browsing.
When placed on a soft mouse pad, the Nascita glides without a hitch, which is perfect when playing games where mouse movement is key and with the fact the you can change DPI easily, Its real easy for me be precise in my movements.
Overall, Feenix’s Nascita is one mouse that is a joy to use. The buttons are very responsive and easy to press. Its a little big but the excellent grip combined with the design of the Nascita more than makes up for its size. Toggling DPI has never been this easy, although I would have like to customize it a little bit futher, and with that price tag ($97), its gonna be hard for most people to buy it but for those who do, its so worth it. We here at B2G give the Feenix Nascita the Recommended and Gold Award.

How Much?
4360 PHP sir 🙂
Had it for like 8 months, bought it in a KB/M bundle. It was amazing. Until it stopped working for no reason, I think the wire may have given out, but for the price of this mouse you can buy something with actual quality put behind it. And the non adjustable DPI is not the best. I’d give you the numbers if I hadn’t already stomped it.
Worst we’ve had with the Feenix stuff was they flake off really, really fast. And I mean in a matter of weeks. Probably the main reason we never did have it used much to break it eventually but yeah we know where you’re coming from.
