Razer Naga MMOG RZ0100280100R3U1 Mouse

this mouse its so great for gaming.
have a great DPI and a great body :D

A comfortable mouse whose main gimmick will take hours upon hours of dedication on your part to fully exploit.

Like a dork, I looked up the word “naga” in Wikipedia, and it turns out that it refers to “a deity or class of entity or being, taking the form of a very great snake—specifically the King Cobra, found in Hinduism and Buddhism.” That would explain the snake-like logo of the Razer Naga ($80, available now), a new mouse that’s aimed at people who play MMOs, specifically World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online. The biggest feature: 12 buttons on the left-hand side of the mouse.

Unlike last year’s SteelSeries World of Warcraft Gaming Mouse, the Razer Naga doesn’t come with the full Blizzard licensing. If that matters to you you’re a fool. And also unlike said SteelSeries mouse, the buttons here don’t stick like an old Sega Genesis controller after using it for a few hours.

It works, out of the box, with both Windows (tested on Windows 7) and Mac OS X (tested on Snow Leopard). Thank you, Razer. No need for my fellow Mac users to spring for a third-party driver just to use the mouse!

So let’s do this. I tested the mouse using World of Warcraft over a period of two weeks. That may seem excessive, but this mouse absolutely has a learning curve. The documentation that comes with the mouse—I actually read the instruction manual!—says to expect up to 18 hours to get used to the mouse. Yes, 18 hours. As Doug said in our chatroom, you might as well learn Russian.

The mouse’s raison d’être is the 12 buttons on the left-hand side, where your thumb would normally rest. The 12 buttons are designed to replace any number of keyboard keys that you’d use to play the game. You know, 1 is regular attack, then 2 through whatever for your spells and whatnot.

My latest character, an Affliction Blood Elf Warlock, has the following key-mapping:

1: Shoot

2: Shadow Bolt

3: Immolate

4: Corruption

5: Curse of Agony

6: Life Tap

7: Drain Life

8: Health Funnel

9: Drain Soul

0: Rain of Fire

-: Fear

=: Howl of Terror

These spells and abilities are mapped over to the 1-12 buttons on the mouse.

Razer has created an AddOn for both games that rearranges your on-screen icons, à la Bartender, to better visually correlate the 12 mouse buttons to your spells and abilities. (Here’s a screenshot of the interface AddOn. It’s the squares on the right-hand side.)

As I said, using the 12 buttons effectively will absolutely take you several hours, especially if you’ve been playing the game for a long time. It’s like trying to write your name with your left hand when you’re a righty.

I had gotten used to running close to a mob, then taking taking my middle finger off the “W” key, then hitting 4, 5, 6, 3, and 1 till the mob died. (See the above key-mapping for what those numbers translate to.) Now all of a sudden your left hand stays on the WASD keys, while your right thumb has to navigate the little button patch on the mouse.

After about of week with the new playing scheme, I had more or less acclimated myself. I now quest with the 12 buttons just fine, but I still find myself going back to the ol’ keyboard when PVPing. I find that the frantic nature of PVP doesn’t really lend itself to the 12 buttons. Practice makes perfect, of course, and you may be more patient than I am, but I couldn’t get used to PVPing with the 12 buttons even after several days.

And to allay a fear I read somew

THis mouse is really good for any type of games.
I have played WOW with it and it was really, really good.
Also I played League of legends and it really use full Because you save time when you want to some acction.

People were saying that Razer naga is good for mmo games but that isn't true. I have bought Battleifeld 3 and this mosue is best product what you can get.

Before this mouse i had mouse called Roccat Kone+ and if you compare roccat kone + with razer naga. IN my opinion naga is better more simple to use extra bottoms. I have also can compare software but bout of those software are easy to use and really simple.

Only one thing what is wrong about this product is the price, is to expensive I would say.

As the title says, if your an MMO player then you need this mouse in your life. The mouse looks amazing and the buttons, with the exception of the forwards and backwards buttons, are well placed and easy to click. The thumbgrid works perfectly but will take some time to get used to.
I bought this for playing the upcoming Bioware MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic and from all the reviews I have seen and my own testing of the product, I know this will allow me to dominate my enemies in PvP.
My previous mouse was a Microsoft Sidewinder X6 (I think) and the Naga, with it's 12 button grid, just blows the Sidewinder out of the water.

Just what I wanted, it's a top of the line mouse, with features that will make sure you won't need another mouse for a very long time, it fits nicely and is shaped to be quite comfortable, the only bad parts I would mention is that it feels very light (feels delicate, but isn't obviously) and is slightly smaller than most mice but actually is nice as it means not stretching for the extra buttons, but if you have very large hands I would suggest a bigger mouse. The programmable buttons are very easy to change, however the macro software my be a bit fiddley at first, there is a lot of customisation in the mouse though and you can get extremely accurate results with 5600 dpi on with a low sensitivity or smoothing software options in program's or games but I would recommend 1500 as plenty sensitive enough :P

I have had this mouse almost 4 months and I love it. Bought it for playing the MMO World of Warcraft originally but works for key-binding on many more games, such as the new MMO SWTOR. After getting my hand used to the new button layout on the side I have no issues at all! Wouldn't dream of replacing it.

I'm buying this one for my partner too and he can't wait. I know, what a couple of nerds! ;) It may look small for big hands, but give it a chance and you'll be fine. It comes with little stickers that you can use to mark the buttons as instructed while you're getting used to it. Great packaging from Razer and they add a couple of stickers of the logo for you sticker lovers. Very nice item and anybody can benefit from it. It's not just for gamers.
