Razer updates Naga MMO Gaming Mouse
Razer announced the latest iteration of the Razer Naga, a MMO gaming mouse. The Razer Naga's iconic 12-button thumb grid is now outfitted with mechanical switches for increased tactility, speed and actuation assurance. Each button on the thumb grid stands out more pronounced than previous generation models to allow for blind-finding, letting gamers more easily execute commands.
The Naga's ergonomic form factor has also been updated with a broader shape offering the best feel and comfort to a wider range of hand types. The fourth and fifth finger rest has a gentler down-slope to promote better grip and reduce fatigue over extended play. Razer's latest Naga also features a tilt-click scroll wheel that clicks in and out and also left and right, disposing more buttons for gamers.
The original MMO gaming mouse, the Razer Naga was announced in 2009 and helped launch a new line of gaming mice that many have imitated but none have matched.
"When we launched the original Razer Naga gaming mouse several years ago, we had no idea that it would rise to become the best-selling MMO gaming mouse the world has ever seen, helping launch a slew of other MMO mice," said Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. "In fact, we expect the copycats to be the first in line to order the new Razer Naga. This new iteration is no different - mechanical thumb grid buttons for better game control, improved ergonomics that were already widely accepted as the benchmark for this type of mouse within the editorial community and intuitive software that makes MMO gaming more efficient."
In-game MMO configurator software is also being introduced and is included with the Naga to allow gamers to set up their mouse's key binds, macros and other preferences, all from within any games they play. This is achieved via a non-intrusive overlay, so gamers conveniently never have to quit games to customize the mouse exactly as they need.

Agreed. You have all those buttons but actually accessing them all is impossible to comfortably do. I'm more impressed with the Naga HEX series as the layout looks to be improved to my eyes.

These mice are such a con, it's far quicker to use a keyboard but people buy these thinking it'll make them prove and realise moving your thumb around that pad just makes it ache and trying to move the mouse around while hitting them is awkward.

Speak for yourself. I've used multiple mice and keyboards with macro layouts. Setting certain functions to the mouse is better, especially in MMO's and certain RTS titles. If you have problems moving a mouse while clicking buttons on it I don't know what to say, it's not a problem I've ever had. The only problem the mice have in my eyes is the button layout.

I have to disagree with you gents, I have the original Naga mouse, and use it for gaming, mostly MMO's
I only use 4 of the available 12 keys on the side, but they are great.
As far as thumb fatigue goes, there is none, I have had 8 hour stents playing some mmos with this mouse and no aches or pains.

Too many badly positioned buttons, no matter how they profile those buttons. Shame.
