 Great addition to the arsenal of any gamer September 2, 2010
Christopher S. Trent (Deployed)
First off I will start with the appearance of the Naga. I have the backlit Blue LED version (not sure if there are any other colors) and I have to say that the matte finish with the gloss black makes for a nice combination with the blue illumination (which can be turned off if you like as well). This mouse just looks hot sitting on any surface.
As for the physical feel it is a bit smaller than I am accustomed to, but it is designed for long MMORPG sessions so I can see why they kept size and weight low, however I sometimes feel I am in danger of crushing the mouse when playing other games such as first person shooters or realtime strategy games. Also when navigating web paces,the traditional Forward/Backward buttons are placed in an extremely odd position near the left click that makes moving the index finger a bit of a chore.
For usability this mouse is at the top of it's class. The 17 buttons all have a good tactile feedback to them, so you know they have been pressed, the thumb grid can be keyed to the Number Row on the top of the keyboard (1 through =) or the number pad giving it great flexibility. The 5600dpi max resolution is insanely precise, its difficult to imagine anyone playing any game that would need such a high degree of precision, but its there for you to try out.
The configurability is excellent too, the number pad/key row switch is located at the bottom of the mouse, making it hard to "accidentally" toggle the function. The configurator software is excellent, giving you options for everything from polling rate to backlighting and maintenance. There is even a section for generating specific profiles for your gameplay issues (e.g. high sensitivity for those shooter games so you can snipe and lower sensitivity for the RTS games so you aren't scrolling past your targets).
There is a Razer backed World of Warcraft Addon for this mouse that I personally don't use, but I have been told it can be useful. Also this is the only mouse I have seen to have a game specific addon made for it, just showing how much support the Razer Team puts into their product.
And at last we come to reliability. Sadly I have to give it an average rating here as I personally experienced having my Naga "die" on me. One day the mouse simply stopped responding to any movement commands, but retained the clicking function. I tried everything I normally do for such issues (unplugging, rebooting, cleaning, re-install drivers, disable all other USB devices, check to see if USB ports are on "power-save", etc.). Eventually I contacted the Razer support staff and went through their steps (identical to the ones I had taken, but I followed them out of protocol anyway) and they came to the conclusion that the sensor was dead. I have had an optical laser mouse (a Microsoft Sidewinder) for almost 5 years and it still works fine, however this Naga I bought lasted less than 3 months. However, the issue was resolved and my Naga was replaced (by a refurbished model, so who knows how long I have left on this one) and I have yet to see any problems with it.
 Great Mouse for Gaming September 2, 2010

12 buttons are a lot to fit on one mouse so I really only use the 2,4,6 & 8 with ease. The rest are a little awkward and tend to make me click the left or right button when I try to use them which is a little unfortunate. Of course I don't have ideal coordination. It is still nice to have the extra buttons as options if I want to try and train myself to use them more adeptly.
best mouse I have ever used August 28, 2010

Really surprised. I thought the extra buttons would be overkill, but they are all useful. FPS's work fantastic on the mouse-being able to map your guns, gernades, etc.. on to the other buttons is a big plus. The two front/back buttons are in bad spots for web browsing and are out of reach for any real use. Not a big deal as I mapped the 1/2 number buttons to the front/back buttons for browsing. Build quality is solid and mouse movement is smooth. Best mouse I have ever used.
Game Changer August 20, 2010

This mouse changed World of Warcraft for me.
The other reviews are fairly comprehensive, so I won't go into great detail. The learning curve is steep, but well worth it. The lights on the mouse don't warm it noticeably, but my large hands won't allow for anything but a loose grip, so I'll concede that if I had smaller hands and a tighter grip, I might have to turn those off.
The two index finger buttons work for Healbot. The side buttons don't, but you won't need them. With five usable buttons (pushed to ten with the key) you'll have plenty. I've read that people have trouble with the two index finger buttons because they're awkwardly placed. I didn't find this to be the case, although they did take a little getting used to. I put Remove Curse and Abolish Poison in mine, and those buttons have saved many lives.
Fit and finish is everything you'd hope for. This is a beautiful piece of hardware. I'm on a Mac, and I've had zero compatibility issues.
The addon is a thing of beauty. It gives you TEN action bars FOR EACH SPEC, which as a feral/resto druid, is just enough (although I could probably find a use for another four). Similar to the regular action bars, these can change when you're in different forms, and ten bars gives you enough that TWO of those can change (one for and one for ). This was the game-changer for me - because as you might have heard, feral DPS druids have a very complex attack rotation and a whole lot of options. This mouse allows me to do things I could NEVER do before. I have become Super Druid.
A Great Choice for Any Type of Game August 19, 2010

I originally bought this mouse to play World of Warcraft, but since I have left that game, and started playing a lot of League of Legends, this mouse still delivers. I only rated a 3/5 stars on Usability because there is a LARGE learning curve and the back and forward buttons are in an awkward place. It took me about two or three days to decide I wanted to keep the Naga. The mouse is packaged with bumper stickers and recommended placement, I used the stickers for about an hour until they just annoyed me a bit too much from extra bulk.
Bottom Line:
- Great for an FPS, you can set the keypad to your 1-9,0 buttons so you can switch your weapons with your thumb.
- Be prepared for a learning curve greater than your first game of DotA.
- Good software packaging, custom Razer macros.
- Looks sexy as hell.
