This is the most dramatic gaming mouse trailer of 2013. It is for a mouse that leaps across canyons in a sports car in slow motion. The new Razer Naga does not do that, but itās wonderfully clicky.
Last year I pitted three MMO gaming mice against each other in a battle of the buttons, and Razerās 12-button Naga did not win. It was a lovely piece of hardware, but the 12 side buttosn were smooth and hard to tell apart, and despite a set of swappabel ergnomic bits, the Naga just wasnāt as comfortable as the competition.

So, for the 2013 edition of the Naga, Razer fixed those problems.
Itās certainly a more comfortable hand rest than its predecessor, for one, and it didnāt have to resort to hot swapping gimmicks to achieve that. The buttons on the side are now mechanical (clicky!) and ridged, making it much easier to feel out individual keys with your thumb. The new scroll wheel tilts side-to-side for additional input, and thereās even a left-handed version for the freaky people in the audience.
The only thing Iām not liking about the 2013 Naga is the finish. Iām used to soft, rubberized plastic, and this one somewhat gritty.
Still, a marked improvement over the previous generation, addressing every concern I had, and only adding one new one. Thatās almost worth an incredibly dramatic debut trailer. Almost.
The new Razer Naga will be on sale shortly at the Razer store for $79.99.
