I use a Naga, and wanted to mention that I have had great encounters with their customer service. My first Naga succumbed to the double-click issue that has plagued the mouse. Even though I didn't have the receipt and the device was out of warranty. I have also had a logitech keyboard die on me and was told by them that I was SOL and needed to buy a new one because the device was out of warranty.

meant to add that they replaced the mouse free of charge even though it was out of warranty and i didn't have the receipt.

Agreed, I've got nothing but good to say about my BlackWindow keyboard, as far as Gaming Mice are concerned, I'm happy with Logitech, and I've pretty much stuck with them. I have a G500 for my desktop, and a G700 that I swap between my HTPC and my laptop, depending on what I'm using at the time.

Moos posted : Razer has some good and some bad peripherals. Their mice seem to be the weakest part of their product line, but there are plenty of happy customers out there. Look at the Naga for example. I don't own any their mice so I don't have a personal opinion for or against them. I agree with Kris, every company is going to have some DOA's. When researching, I usually skip over the 1 star ratings based on DOA's. I'm more concerned with how a working unit operates. If it's DOA, send it back and get another one. If you do that 3 times or get shitty customer service, then I would consider it a problem.

Considering other Razer products, I have owned a nostromo for years and recently bought an Orbweaver to replace it. Not because it broke, it still works great, but because I wanted more buttons and I wanted them mechanical. The Orbweaver has been amazing so far btw. .

Back on topic with mice, I'm running the Steelseries Sensei and I love it. Prior to the Steelseries I ran a logitech G500 for many years and it is a solid product too. I just liked the way the steelseries fits my hand better and the button layout.

Krisnatharok posted : A thousand downvotes to you!!! You never base that sort of recommendation based on a single experience with a single piece of hardware that may have slipped through QC checks.

I bet you every brand has shipped a DOA or shortly failed after arrival at some point in time.

Instead, I wouldn't recommend anything by Razer because of the awkward button placement, drivers that strongly "suggest" you log into them, and "blah" level of quality masquerading as elite gaming peripherals.

Ghastlyone posted : Got my G700 finally. God this thing is sexy.

All the button placements are perfect, tracking and movement are flawless. Feels nice in your hand. I do like the textured surface where your thumb, ring and pinky fingers rest.

The software is pretty nice so far also. There's a ton of customization. Custom profiles, etc.

With the newest version, Logitech has most game profiles loaded up already. It scans are computer for your games. It didn't pick up all my games though. I had to manually select a few of them from a drop down list.

You click on the game profile you want to setup. At that point, there's a "Command" list. From this list, it'll have nearly every ability on that game to select from.

Taking Borderlands 2 for example. Grenades. You simply drag and drop the grenade ability to whatever mouse button you want to use it on. So on and so forth.

Only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to disable the DPI buttons. I gotta mess this it some more.

Overall though,it's a top notch mouse.

Uncle Paul posted : It's an ugly thing, but I really like it. You can customize it in size and weight. You can add a lip to the left if you, like me, suffer from pinky drag. For FPS you can change the DPI on the fly. Personally I use the wired MMO version because it allows me more customizable buttons.

I find the Naga to lite.

For lack of a better word my toons in WoW are stuttering when i run and sometimes just stop mid run, i have to re-click both mouse buttons, Immer tried to help me but we couldn't come up with a solution. I tried to update the driver, but the driver comes from Microsoft and they say its up to date. I turned of acceleration same thing happens, i have an old computer i know but it was working just fine now it isn't any suggestions. Is the mouse perhaps dusty inside? Can it be cleaned? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

TruSm0ke posted : I have the Razer Naga gaming mouse(»www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-naga). I had some issues with it early on, but it seems that things have been fixed after a few updates. I really enjoy it and the extra "macro" buttons are very convenient. Not just for MMO's (which I don't play) but for every game(and application) out there.

If you want a wireless one, Razer also makes the Naga Epic (»www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/ra···ga-epic/)

So lets see about your checklist: 1) Razer Naga Epic is wireless, Razer Naga Original is NOT. 2) Because of the nature of having 17 extra buttons, with this mouse you can program any button that you would have on your keyboard to a button on the mouse. You can also create profiles for different programs such as Starcraft 2 or the Google Chrome web browser.

For instance, when I'm surfing the web, I created a profile for Chrome that whenever I use Chrome my Chrome profile kicks in. I've set button #1 to refresh the page. #2 to scroll down by 1 screen length, #3 to scroll up by 1 screen length, #4 to go to the bottom of the page, #5 go back to the top of the page. I can also program buttons to open applications. My button #12 opens Notepad, #11 opens Thunderbird, #10 opens Tweetdeck, etc etc. All of this is done from my mouse because of the customized profiles I created.

Once I jump into Starcraft, my profile is automatically loaded and from there my mouse is used with my SC2 macro buttons. And so on. Basically, any button you need to program from your keyboard to your mouse, you can.

And finally, criteria #4: Razer makes some very nice peripherals including keyboards. Granted, sometimes these devices have their share of issues but updates usually fix them in due time. If I was still having issues I obviously wouldn't recommend something to someone. But things have been fixed since I purchased this about a year and a half ago, I can now stand by my Razer Naga. So yes, the Razer Naga is a very very well crafted mouse in both texture, feel, customization, high DPI/accuracy, and build.

And NO, I do NOT work for Razer. I just own a few of their products.
