The Good

The Razer Naga is a mouse that has been made with gamers in mind. It can really help you get an extra edge in the heat of the battle and the fact that the 12 keys can be set up to work as numkeys or the keyboard's regular number keys is definitely a bonus. Very precise and responsive, with two extra buttons that can be programmed to perform diverse functions, you will definitely enjoy owning it. No matter if you play regular RPGs, MMOs, FPS or RTS games, you're bound to find a faithful friend in the Razer Naga.

The Bad

While I cannot say there is something truly bad about the Naga, it is definitely lacking a few things that I find to be essential in a good gaming mouse. More than two programmable (aka keyboard independent) buttons and fully accessible keypad. I mean, the keypad is fully accessible but only the first 6 keys can be considered truly ergonomical. Keys 7 to 12 are quite hard to reach especially in an RTS when every second can decide the fate of your troops.

Overall Impressions

All in all, the Razer Naga is a mouse worthy of joining your army of gaming-oriented peripherals. Very responsive, customizable DPI settings and, of course, all those buttons amount for quite a fun and impressive little gadget. It can definitely take on the best of them and has a chance of leaving the scene as the winner. However, the Razer Naga is not a mouse that will guarantee your success. You won't “Get Imba” but in some moments, it will offer you an advantage in speed due to the extra keys that it sports on the side.
The whole enchilada!

As far as the “specially designed for MMOs” idea, I found it to be a lot better in real time strategies.
I can definitely find very good use for it from a gamer's standpoint and, to be honest, it looks so good that even if you don't want the mouse for its specifications and overall performance, you'll want it in order to impress your friends when they come to visit. I had a great time testing it and I am sorry to let it go but like that old saying goes, all good things come to an end. Just like my time with the Naga, just like this review. See you again next time!

Worst mouse ever, even worse customer support. This piece of junk doesn't even work on a dark surface and when it fails in less than 2 months, they will make you spend an hour testing it, then they will make you pay to return it via mail (that's about $10.00 US) then they will never get it back to you. I've been waiting to get my mouse back for almost 2 months they have had it longer than I did. they have sent me the wrong USED mouse and then they send me a return label that is incomplete so I cant return it so they wont send my piece of junk back, maybe because I told them I was gonna smash it on Youtube. If you do buy one you will notice your pointer jumping around on the screen till you buy a wight mouse pad. and if you ever lift your mouse forget it! Oh, did I mention they wont let you call them and if you do manage to get there phone# the people on the phone will never let you talk to a manager, that's right, try to find a phone# for them. that is the sign of a fail company!
