the Corsair carbide air 540 High airflow Cube case is great for air cooling or
liquid cooling check the link in the video description to learn more now I've
recommended this mouse any number of times this is the original Razer NGA it
has 12 MMO buttons on the side the only criticism of which would be that they're
kind of mushy and kind of hard to distinguish from each other it included
little pads that you could put on them but I personally never even ended up
applying I didn't find they were that helpful um and includes an ergonomic
shape that I personally really really liked it also tracks like a dream and
I'm done gushing about the Naga because there's the Naga razors really
got to figure out their product naming scheme here because can between this one
and the Death Adder 2013 and black widow 2013 and the Death Adder was like how do
you make you know how do you improve on Perfection you don't change anything but
then it did change things and then there was no reference to it being a 2013
edition anywhere on the box except for like one little like Spot somewhere and
so this is called the Razer Naga not to be confused with the Razer Naga they're
taking the same approach it's just funny it makes perfect sense because as a
company that's all about you know Gamers and gaming they've taken a page right
out of game developers handbooks oh what should we call the new
Tomb Raider let's call it Tomb
Raider so anyway there you go that's my
rant about that what has Razer improved
about the all new Naga well they've done a couple of things that I think are a
very big deal number one is they have changed these buttons on the side to be
mechanical buttons so I want you guys to really hear the difference here I'm
going to hold it up to my lav mic original
Naga very mushy very
membran new Naga very clicky very
tactile really really like that they have also updated the ergonomics So Gone
are the two buttons right here which I never really liked anyway I had I I
rarely find myself in a situation where this is a comfortable movement for me
those were the two buttons that I really had trouble reaching and they have
instead put two buttons here these can
be actuated with the middle finger which if you use a three fingers like this
sort of orientation then at least there's that you can kind of reach I
personally have trouble with this one I don't have very flexible hands but at least now I can reach one of them
comfortably they've also added a tilt click scroll
wheel so this and this are additional functions so it now has a total of 19
buttons 12 on the side two on the top
well 1 2 3 four on the top and then an additional two here giving you like I
said well plus a middle click so that is a total of 19 buttons they have
implemented their low friction of quiet
pads on the bottom which I think is kind of unique they have also up updated the
sensor so it now uses an 88200 DPI 4G laser sensor and check this out here we
go here we go there we go there's the naming scheme this is the Razer Naga
2014 so they've gone with the car approach now where you actually buy next
year's model in the previous calendar year and that is the way it works which
isn't to take anything away from the mouse itself one thing that's improved
on the top as well that they didn't have in their kit but I can already feel is
the grippiness of this top surface here in instead of having a soft touch feel
it has a very mild lightly textured feel
that I find quite appealing and makes it less likely to slip they have also
updated the color scheme whereas the old Naga was Blue the new Naga is aligned
with the latest razor branding which is green so there you go all of the buttons
on the side are illuminated the razor logo is breathing by default although
you can reconfigure that in synapse and the mouse wheel itself looks absolutely
outstanding in green something else that they've done with the side buttons is
they've changed the shape of them significantly so you can see the way that the older ones worked you were
expected to find the difference in them simply by feeling these bumps right here
but other than that they're configured very similarly now they have changed
them significantly so some of them are arched this way some of them are arched
this way the middle Bank okay so you can I want you to see this from the side
maybe we'll do some macro footage here but they're all angled really differently in such a way that you can
really feel whether you're on pads 1 to six or pad 7 to 12 and then from there
these ones the middle ones have ridges on them that you can really you can
really feel they're kind of sharp along this Edge this Edge this Edge and this
Edge allowing you to more easily figure out what button you're actually touching
is it necessarily perfect the answer is probably no but I think it's difficult
to put 12 buttons on the side of a mouse such that you're expecting anyone to be
able to find them all In the Heat of battle without any practice but once you
have practiced I've heard people say even about the original Naga that it's
not that difficult now in terms of updated ergonomics you can see the mice
look quite different the one complaint I heard about the original Naga quite
often was it's really small which is great for me cuz my hands are small but
there wasn't much room to rest your pinky and your ring finger on it that
has been changed the naga4 has a much expanded pinky and ring
finger rest and what I really like about the pinky here was there was nowhere to
really rest it on the original Naga it was a glossy smooth surface they've
added a rubber grippy surface surface just like the Death Adder 2013 with the
rubber grips on the side I think they're a huge Improvement and I love it I don't
necessarily need to put my pinky down on something but having a rubber grip is
much more comfortable to me than trying to squeeze the mouse to have it to have
my pinky stick to it particularly when you consider that on the other side of
the mouse are a bunch of buttons so if I'm squeezing too hard here I'm going to
accidentally press them speaking of which side of the mouse okay they didn't
send me one so I'm having you look at the mouse but it's totally pointless Razer has a left-handed version of now
both of their most popular gaming mice the Death Adder as well as the Naga so
that was a crowdsourced initiative kind of thing that Razer did and I can tell
you from a business perspective it makes no sense to go through the molding and
tooling that is involved in releasing a left-handed Mouse when you consider how
few of them sell remember I worked at a retailer before I know how many of them
sell isn't very many um but for you Southpaw guys out there there you go
Razer was listening and they wanted to bring you a left-handed Mouse so kudos
to you I think that makes it the only left-handed MMO Mouse I don't believe
any of them are ambidextrous because of the way that you have to lay out MMO
buttons for them to be mostly accessible using the thumb which is the most uh the
most flexible of the fingers that you're probably using for It software wise
they've made some more improvements here as well so there's an MMO configurator
that actually overlays on the screen so you can use it to Respec in the middle
of a game without actually even tabbing out and this one for me personally is
actually cooler because I tend not to change around characters too much I play
mostly single player um RPGs when I am playing an RPG such as Dragon Age or
torch light too and uh this is really neat so they take this uh grid of 12 and
then they actually give you a screen overlay that you can set up different
icons so you can see visually on the screen as an overlay what each of these
is mapped to I think that's absolutely outstanding because a big problem for me
with 12 buttons particularly when you're going for from game to game is what the
devil did I have button seven bound to can't if you can't remember no big deal
taking care of that with a screen overlay and I think that pretty much
does it I liked the Naga hex with its six mechanical buttons and it felt like
an improvement over the original Naga with 12 buttons well now they've taken
those mechanical buttons and between the Naga hex and the Naga 2014 edition you
should have something that you'll pretty much like the wider shape addresses the
issue I think for people with larger hands although if you have baseball
glove sized hands it might still not be the perfect Mouse for you but they've
definitely improved the appeal and there you go what can you improve about
something that's already awesome make it just a little bit more awesome thank you
for checking out my unboxing and overview of the Razer Naga 2014 don't
forget to subscribe don't forget to like this video If you enjoyed it and let me
know what you think I mean just even looking at it you know seeing some of
the uh some of the close-ups of my hand on it has Razer improved the Naga by
making it a bit of a wider stance uh more compatible with larger hands Mouse
and adding the mechanical buttons or would you prefer to grab an original nun
now so you don't have to stop using it in the future thanks guys
