Razer Naga

Yesterday I had lunch with Stevo and we hit Best Buy. He wanted a new headset for WoW... I wanted new electronics with an eye toward mice. While Steve was looking at headsets, I was reading reviews on a couple of mice via my cell phone's internet browser -- smart.

I bought the Razer Naga. 17 buttons, a grid of 3x4 on the left side. Fully customizable of course.

It glows blue with LEDs along the mouse wheel, and each number in the grid (1-12) lights up, and there's a slow pulsing Razer logo that gets covered by your palm. If I want to I can turn the logo or the other lights off.

The mouse feels good in the hand. All of those buttons don't get in the way, and they aren't super-sensitive so they don't get accidentally pushed; the thumb can rest comfortably on them. The main buttons (classic left and right) have a resistance-free "bounce" to them; light to the push. The wheel isn't flimsy and has a good springy resistance.

The mouse is lightweight which is comfortable, and has an incredibly high DPI sensitivity range -- I have it set to 2,000 DPI and it can go all the way up to 5,600 DPI!


After playing WoW yesterday afternoon and this evening with it, customizing most of the buttons to special spells & jazz, I can definitively say this mouse rocks my world. ^_^

I also want to customize my Freelancer Discovery keys to map onto the mouse... ooh baby. Actually, I could probably map all the buttons I actually use onto the mouse in Freelancer...
Then maybe map my most used tools and jazz in Photoshop for max efficiency. That way I'd only really need the Wacom pen in my left hand and my mouse in my right -- talk about max control! >8-]
