Covered in blue lights and a slick black hand ergonomic design the Razer Naga
I have had zero problems with the construction of the Naga, and my only complaint is that I can’t find a use for all 17 of the buttons. I have my shift control and alt keys set to the thumb grid, as well as all of my placement AOE spells. On my warrior I have added Pummel and Whirlwind to the grid so I have quick access to them. The high DPI of the mouse coupled along with my Razer Naga
As anything new be prepared for a learning curve however. The Razer Naga is going to feel foreign to you at first. I think I was a quick adapter to the product, but I could see how people with big hands or who aren’t very coordinated could take more time getting used to the Razer Naga. Personally as I stated before the Razer Naga MMO gaming mouse will certainly boost any players game play even if they only set it up with the ctrl, shift, alt modifiers it will give you more access to more spells and macros than ever before.
So I have to say this is by far the best gaming mouse I have ever put my hands on, and I couldn’t play without it.

Razer Naga Review Appearance
The Razer Naga has a very minimalistic design which seems to do nothing but add to its awesomeness. The mouse is completely black when the illumination is off, and when the illumination is on the mouse is trimmed with a deep blue illumination around the buttons, mouse-wheel, and pulsating Razer logo embedded on the back side. The cord is braided in a very tightly nit nylon cord which is also black, and the design of the mouse looks like it almost came out of the blueprints room of a fighter jet manufacturer rather than the Razer teams. The Razer Naga sports quite a slim profile and when put up next to other premium gaming mice I have sitting around here, it is noticeably smaller. The small size of the mouse allow it to sit comfortably in your palm and allow you to grip over the mouse completely in order to be able to utilize each of its ergonomically well placed additional buttons.
For me I love the default look of the mouse, but other players may be looking for more customization than what is currently offered with the Razer Naga. While I love it as it sits I believe the mouse could have came out of the box with at least the option to customize the lighting beyond just toggling the Naga illumination on and off.

Razer Naga Review Craftsmanship
The Razer Naga features a low profile slim design compared to other competitive high end gaming mice on the market, sporting a design which is molded in order to fit securely in your hand comfortably. Each button is well placed for easy access, and just to ensure that you adapt quickly to the mouse Razer provides you with stick on bubbles that you can place on the mouse to help you memorize where each button is until you get used to it, but I had no need for these myself right out of the box. The two buttons on the side of the left mouse button are probably the hardest of the 17 additional buttons to hit, and even those are easy to become adapted to after a short period of time. The 12 additional buttons that lay on the side of the mouse are sturdy rubber buttons that feature a rich blue illumination in a grid layout that is simple to acclimate yourself to.
As I pick up the mouse and shake it there are no moving or rattling parts, everything is securely in place on the Razer Naga. The center wheel mouse button does not wobble side to side, and every mouse press feels full and secure all over the Naga. The cord which keeps it connected to your PC or Mac is braided with a nylon cord that does not fray or show any signs of wear or tear after the entire year and a half that I have used it. The USB port is gold tipped and of a high quality standard that ensures that you will be relaying data from the mouse to your system at the maximum efficient speed. I like to generally pay close attention to the bottom side of a new mouse like the Naga that I am reviewing in order to see how well the rubber pads on the bottom are made which can often tell the attention to detail that the manufacturer took in creating the mouse. The Razer Naga features a continuous large pad on the bottom which is firmly inlaid all around the mouse in order to ensure that it will stand up through the test of time, and reduce the drag across your gaming mouse pad.
Overall the Razer Naga has no flaws in its craftsmanship. It looks feels and performs impeccably beyond any other mouse I have ever had a chance to use and I give Razer Naga a very solid and confidently high rating in craftmanship.

Razer Naga Review Compatibility
The Razer team spent a lot of time and care in order to make the Naga possibly the best gaming mouse out on the market today, and it shows. taken from the Razer website the technical specifications on the Razer Naga are as follows, and I quote:
Razer Naga Technical Specifications
- 5600dpi Razer Precision 3.5G Laser Sensor
- 1000Hz Ultrapolling™ / 1ms response time
- 200 inches per second max tracking speed
- Zero-acoustic Ultraslick™ mouse feet
- 17 MMO-optimized buttons (including 12 button thumb grid)
- Optional MMO-specific software AddOns
- Unlimited character profiles with AddOns
- Approximate Size : 81 mm / 3.19” (Length) x 70 mm / 2.76” (Width) x 46 mm / 1.81” (Height)
- Approximate Weight: 134 g / 0.30 lbs
System Requirements
- PC / Mac with USB port
- Windows® 7 / Windows Vista® / Windows® XP or Mac OS X (v10.4 and above)
- Internet connection (for driver installation)
- At least 35MB of hard disk space
I have to say on technical specifications short of what I don’t have the equipment to actually gauge the Razer Naga does include everything that is advertised. You can set the mouse speed to an incredibly high level of sensitivity, the response is definitely instant, I can count 17 MMO optimized buttons, and if you head over to the Razer site you can find custom addons for the game World of Warcraft that are of a very high quality.

The Razer Naga does come with a custom driver for both Mac and PC’s, but does not at the moment automatically detect software or firmware updates. That will soon be fixed however with Razer’s new technology that they are currently working on called the Razer Synapse 2.0 which will sync, and update all of your Razer devices across multiple computers. For the moment however you must visit their website to get the device software, and check back from time to time for updates.
The driver which you can see to the right and click on for a larger view is how the driver software look on a Windows Machine. If you are on a Mac you get the old school default themed driver which isn’t as pretty but still has exactly the same functionality as the Windows driver.
Razer Naga Mac Compatibility and World of Warcraft
If you watch all of the videos there is no doubt that the mouse was created with players of MMORPG’s in mind, and more specifically with the addon development for World of Warcraft the mouse was hugely targeting WoW players. Now when I first received the mouse it worked great and still does work great with my Mac and until late into Wrath of the Lich King the mouse worked great in World of Warcraft. After I believe it was content patch 3.4 however the Razer Naga lost its ability to use Ctrl, Alt, and Shift modifiers in the game on a Mac, and has yet to ever fix the problem.
Now the mouse still works completely fine in all other Mac applications outside of World of Warcraft and even in other games. And if you download the third party software KeyReMap for Macbook you can gain control of your modifier keys once again within World of Warcraft so it makes no difference in the end really. There have been several sneaking suspicions as to why this fix has never been implemented ranging from Razer is more interested in new products, to Blizzard broke it because they wanted to give the Steelseries mouse a boost in sales by breaking the Naga for Mac users. My opinion is it broke and both Blizzard as well as Razer should be working to fix it. Yeah we can use a third party software to fix it but we shouldn’t have to.
So is the Razer Naga Mac compatible?
The short answer is yes and it even supports a custom driver for the mac. The long answer is if you plan to use it for WoW you have to install third party software if you want to use modifier keys. All of the other keys working perfectly as designed keep in mind it is only when you try to set shift, control, and alt that you will run into problems.

The Razer Naga is built on a pretty simple concept in my opinion. Razer laid out the buttons in an easy to remember basic grid diagram all on the thumb side of the mouse in a 3×4 rows. You can’t really beat that placement with that many buttons. The mouse is slim in design and like I said before resembles something off of a Boeing stealth fighter blueprint rather than a mouse. The mouse has a grove which comfortable rests your pinky on the right side and the bulging palm rest contours seamlessly to your hand. Again I have to give it to Razer in the ergonomics design everything on this mouse is fluid, and while so simple in appearance obviously took a lot of thought and time in order to perfect the easy to reach placement of all functions on this mouse.

Well I bough tone of these but the razer naga special edition and guess what? It broke within 3 weeks. THREE WEEKS. When I told people they just said lol razer sucks. Don’t buy this crap razer truely does suck. I only dropped this off my desk and what happened? I hear this noise in my mouse which is probably the lazer inside of the mouse. Good Luck!
I hate to hear that Josh, man that really sucks. I have had my Naga well over a year and have been sort of ruff on it (I tend to Nerd Rage). From time to time you get bad products… I am just curious though, did you contact Razer at all about it? If you did what was your experience with the customer service staff.
