Razer - Naga Expert MMO Gaming Mouse - Black

Easily accessible mechanical side buttons. Best paired with 2013 Razer Blackwidow Ultimate (I currently have the 2012). Regards to ergonomics. My hand just lays on the mouse, rather than gripping it. It does not make me feel that I am forced to press any of the 12 side button when I move the Naga. Easily clawed with ring (resting comfortably) and pinky fingers, while having the thumb help guide the mouse, without pressing the side buttons. The shape of the Naga makes it quite helpful when repositioning your hand in order to press the 10-12 key, and return back to position with ease. The 12 side buttons has a nice (best way to describe it) "thumbed memory feel", so that you are not always looking at your mouse to determine which button you are pressing. You instinctively know which button you are pressing, when you position your thumb over the number 5 button. I just wish that the 2014 variants kept the interchangeable sides, like it's previous model. Other than that... Keep up the good work Razer.

I am an avid World of Warcraft player and having the Razer Naga is a must. I owned the first Naga a while back and I've always been impressed with the hardware that Razer produces. The only complaint I have is that the mouse is way too big for my hands, but that's not the mouse's fault lol. Other than that, 10/10.

What can I say about the razer naga a wonderful reliable gaming mouse that is built by a company who's foundation is built on the idea of providing quality over quantity gaming experience for all gamers. Razer really did well on this product which is why I am giving it a five star review I look forward to buying many more razer products in the near future. I have also referred razer to my friends who are all logitech and corsair fanboys and let me tell you they all love razer now as well.

I have had the 2011 Naga since it came out and I can't even use the computer without it anymore. It was an amazing mouse and it changed the way I play video games. My old Naga finally broke after thousands of hours of use and so I needed to get a new one. Nothing other than a Naga would be acceptable from this point on so I bought the 2014 Naga. What I bought is not a Naga, it is a completely different mouse that slightly resembles the older versions through keypad alone. This mouse is heavy, bulky, uncomfortable, and poorly designed. I know the 2 middle buttons were on the last real Naga, but the original Naga did it right by putting those within reach of the index finger. If you are upgrading from an old naga, save yourself some trouble and just buy the Epic, it's more expensive but it actually resembles what your used to. The original Naga is on the right (its blue).

great for gaming and work ,love this mouse worth it 100%

I'll start by saying that this mouse is a necessity for any serious MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online Game) player out there. Of course, im gonna tell you why though. First off, the company Razer has always been known for making sleek-looking high quality products, and this one is certainly no exception. The packaging it comes in is really superb. Inside you'll find the mouse, some warranty/instruction info, and a Razer sticker. The mouse itself is really well construction. It isn't wireless but the cord is made of a high quality and it's generously long if you keep your pc farther away. There is a total of 19 buttons (including the scroll wheel clicks)! The scroll wheel is able to click to the left or the right in addition to the middle click. There's 2 additional buttons directly below the scroll wheel. On the left side of the mouse is a 12 key number pad arranged in a 3x4 grid. There's plenty of buttons to go around for all your "key-binding" and macro needs. The mouse also has a nice little rubber grip on the other side for more stability. Im very happy with the design and the quality. My only gripe is that this mouse is not the most ergonomic mouse out there. There's mice that are far more comfortable but those mice dont have all the keys that this does. Part of the reason is the fact you are using your thumb to press the side buttons which reduces your overall stability. Not a deal breaker but certainly something to consider if you don't need a mouse with 19 buttons. Setting up the mouse is a fairly simple process. If you want to get the full functionality you will need to download Razer Synapse 2.0 from Razer's website. This software will provide the drivers and it serves as the programming suite for the mouse's numerous buttons. The best about this software is the fact that all your other Razer devices use it. It also stores all your programming on a cloud which means you if switch over to another computer you can save yourself the trouble of programming all over again. With the Razer Naga specifically, the softwares includes an "In-Game MMO configurator." This allows you to program your mouse inside the game. This is very helpful for testing out all your button combinations without having to exit in and out of the game. I did say this mouse is a necessity for any MMO player. In many of the MMO's out there, there are dozen's of actions and abilities for your character. With all these actions to worry about, it can be fairly tricky and cumbersome to click each one at a time. Not to mention very slow. In a player versus player setting, this can put you at a disadvantage. Thanks to mouse, you can have each ability on a different key. Instead of moving your mouse over to the command you can instantly activate it and save your pointer for targeting. Since all the buttons are in one place you won't have to stretch your hand all over the keyboard either, making this a little bit more efficient than mapping all your abilities to the keyboard. Keybinding doesn't substitute for skill though. It's critical that you have the most optimal mouse mapping so you can performs actions faster than the other players. Again, having your all your actions bound to a specific key is a lot more efficient than just clicking each command one by one. After practicing for awhile it becomes muscle memory. Final Verdict: Get this for sure if you are an avid player of MMO's or games with lots of commands. I can't stress how helpful this mouse is. With practice you can greatly improve your play style. If you don't play MMO's then I probably wouldn't push this mouse as much. There's a lot more comfortable mice for much less that are perfectly suitable for games that require less button pressing.

Anytime I’ve needed a gaming mouse - this is the first one I go for. The twelve keys on the side are perfect for mapping out your own set of hot keys.

I recently purchased a few different mice so that I can test them out and decide what was best for me. I am a Best Buy Elite Plus member, so I had an awesome return policy to work with. This mouse was a very sexy mouse. The lighting on it was nice and it matched my Razer keyboard. Unfortunately, it was just too small and light for my hands. Every time I moved the mouse, I would accidentally lift it up a little. I am sure I could get use to the weight eventually, but my big claws just weren't comfortable with the weight. I want a mouse that I can grip and lean on without having to worry about this. If I could adjust the weight of this mouse, I might have ended up keeping it. I almost considered taking it a part and adding some weight to the inside. It has 12 buttons on the side. This would be perfect for someone who plays games that require many different button taps to access things. Unfortunately, my big hands found these difficult to work with. My thumb could not accurately push one button at a time. I am sure with lots of practice I could maybe get a little better at it, but I found myself wishing it had more buttons on the top too. I do not want to rely just on my thumb for extra button taps. I liked the material and accuracy of the mouse. If you have smaller hands then this mouse could be a winner for you. Pros: Sexy Nice material Lighting is nice Cons: No adjustable weight Too small for my hands Side buttons hard to use No extra buttons on top I am giving this 4 stars because it is a very nice mouse. It is not Razer's fault that I have big hands. If they made the size and weight adjustable and added a few buttons in different areas, this would definitely be a winner for me. I ended up going with the Logitech G502 Proteus Core. I highly recommend that mouse if you have larger hands, are looking for more options on where to push different buttons, and want to be able to adjust the weight.
