Razer Naga V3 Pro Review: Buttons Galore Leave a comment

Actually, the form is good for long-term use. It’s pretty ergonomic, and it is simple sufficient to put your hand throughout with a relaxed grip. I discovered it to be an important possibility for raid nights in Future 2 (with as many as 5 or 6 Crota runs in a single evening) and extra chill video games like The Huge Stroll, the place precision and agility take a little bit of a again seat to consistency and luxury.

Whereas the Naga V3 Professional weighs 116 grams with the heaviest twelve-button aspect panel (the six-button panel is 115 grams, and the two-button is 113), the mouse doesn’t really feel significantly heavy. The burden is all saved pretty low, and is distributed nicely throughout the mouse. In comparison with some older mice with high-up batteries and nose-heavy shapes, the Naga hardly looks like its weight; I might’ve guessed it was under 100 grams if I hadn’t checked. You’ll discover the added heft in case you’re switching straight from a 60 gram gaming mouse, however in any other case, this mouse manages its mass very nicely.

One draw back to its old-school vibe is the restricted shade choices. Black is the one model out there, and whereas that’ll all the time be the preferred (particularly for Razer), a extra area of interest mouse just like the Naga V3 Professional may have undoubtedly benefitted from one other shade.

So Many Buttons

This mouse has an absurd variety of buttons. I discovered myself struggling to make use of all of them, however I’m positive there are fairly just a few individuals who nonetheless gained’t suppose it’s fairly sufficient.

Just like the Logitech MX Grasp 4, the Naga incorporates a customizable mouse wheel with choices for easy or ratcheting operation, together with a “precision tactile” mode that decreases the area between every of the scrolling steps. The wheel additionally has a tilt perform for horizontal scrolling; it’s supreme for spreadsheets and multimedia work that requires two axes of motion, however can simply as simply be remapped to any variety of macros (I may see it being helpful for leaning to the left or proper in a tactical shooter like Rainbow Six: Siege).

Drawing additional comparisons to the MX Grasp line, I actually discovered this mouse to be good for on a regular basis work. The comfy form and in depth navigation capabilities made it nice for multimedia work, and the quantity pad was supreme for mapping software-specific capabilities, particularly for picture and video enhancing software program that may require some repetitive and sophisticated inputs.

Regardless of the sheer variety of buttons, I actually discovered that they by no means acquired in the way in which when not in use. All of them are positioned in such a approach to be simply accessible with out disrupting the essential left and proper click on performance. The one button I discovered myself frequently urgent on accident was the third click on button, which may be locked solely utilizing a swap on the underside of the mouse.
