Razer Naga - A MMO Mouse Review

Page 4 - Tests

The testing began immediately after I connected the mouse and placed it on the pad. Using Logitech mx518, I've became accustomed to bulky mice. And Razer Naga, surprisingly enough, despite all its buttons retains a slim line and remains relatively small (116L x 69W x 41.6H). Yet I found it quite comfortable, I had no issues with it and it fit my hand perfectly. And while I highly value this, since its design is not ambidextrous, that sensation will be unavailable for left-handed users.

After I installed its software I immediately logged in World of Warcraft and began testing the mouse in any way I could think of. I was definitely surprised right away of how intuitive and easy is Razer Naga to use. There are rubber padding provided for its additional 12 buttons, yet Razer themselves do not recommend using them, something I couldn't agree more with. There is just no need of them. The mouse is easy to get used to and after a couple of days with it you'll feel pretty crummy switching back to any other. No more hard to access abilities or skills. I'm truly impress by it. If you switch to num pad simulation mode (by a switch on the bottom of the mouse), you get even better access to your skills. It is indeed quite obvious that the mouse was created for that exact type of gaming.

Setting the mouse DPI, I stayed at somewhat lower value (2000), due to the fact that at higher values the mouse was too fast for my style, creating discomfort for me, even though I must admit its preciseness is remarkable. The 3.5G laser sensor performs excellently. And while the mouse is mainly MMO orientated its still comfy for everyday work too. With excellent performance naturally. The scroll is amazingly soft due to its cover of rubber material, the chance of you finger slipping of it is nearly nonexistent. Its also quite quiet and easy rolling, unlike the noisy one of my Logitech mx518. Another thing I found useful were the forward and backward buttons, which are placed at the top of the left button in Naga, unlike the usual setup that places them on the left side of the mouse. They are very easy to get used to, indeed, as mentioned before - couple of days with them and the older setup will feel awkward.
