This is the Razer Naga Hex LOL. Oh,
wait. League of Legends. Hold on, that's different. Uh, yeah, it's a game, not a
laughing thing. Okay, so this is the Razer Naga Expert Moa, which I actually
had to look up. I hadn't heard of that before. So, it's apparently uh something
something. can't remember. Multiplayer online battle arena. That's a genre now.
I mean, I always thought we just called it Dota and League of Legends because those are sort of the primary games. But
there you go. Optimized for mobile and action RPG games or I mean MMO probably
is just as valid for something like this
because uh however, unlike the regular
Naga, which has 12 buttons on the side, the Naga Hex is named such because it
only has six buttons on the side. So, it's not quite as uh as crazy optimized
for tons and tons and tons of different functionality, but more like you want to
have a bunch of different profiles with a few different um
commands that you'd want to be able to execute at a moment's notice. Now, if
you've followed Linus Tech Tips, you probably already know that I do like the
Naga, uh the original one. I've never tried the Hex, although based on what
I'm seeing so far, they're going to be pretty similar. And I do like the idea
of mice that have a lot of buttons on the side. Uh the G600 was probably the
biggest disappointment for me out of the lot just because um and again if you've
watched Linus Tech Tips videos for a while you'll have you'll know this already, but because I found the I found
the tracking to feel sort of um a little bit laggy. There was some some latency
there that was bothering me. Whereas the Naga I have never had that problem. So,
it's um I mean you can see that it's one of the ones that's actually on our
gaming test bench. So, we do actually use it. It's uh you can always tell when
we pull something out and it's sort of nearby and convenient, but it's
something that we like and actually use day-to-day. So, there you go. So, let's
have a look at what Razer includes. Dominate the Fields of Justice with the
Naga Hex. Cool. Okay. So, there's a little card there. They're so good at
packaging, giving you little like things that are sort of neat. Changing the
rubber thumb rest. Okay. So, there's a thumb rest in the middle which you can
apparently adjust to different side grips right there. So, you've got a
larger one and a smaller one. And then it looks like the medium one comes
equipped on the mouse. And this is smart actually for a reason that I'll explain
in a moment. Uh we've got some Razor stickers which are obviously pretty
sweet as well as the rest of their usual documentation. Ah, yes. You get a free
champion with the mouse. And since I don't need a League of Legends champion,
I would be happy to give him to you guys. So, you get a free Trindir.
Yay! First one to reclaim the code gets it.
There you go. Enjoy. Free giveaway for you guys there. All right. So, what's
good about the Naga Hex? First of all, it has the same shape as the original
Naga, which I like. It's perfect for sort of smaller and smallish medium
hands to be very nicely contoured. So, you can see from both angles here,
there's somewhere to rest your pinky, somewhere to rest your ring finger,
places for your middle and index fingers, and of course, somewhere to put
your thumb. I find for myself personally, this is the best ergonomic
razor mouse that I have used and I've used pretty much all of them. I also
really like this this improvement on the Hex here versus the original Naga. So,
people complained with the original Naga that you would often accidentally hit
these buttons when you're trying to lift the mouse off the surface. I personally
never had that issue with it, but some people did. So, what they've done is
they've added this thumb rest right in the middle of your six buttons here.
Number one is that depending on what size you use, you can optimize it so
that you can easily feel your way around these buttons. And number two is that
also gives you a comp a convenient place to hold the mouse should you want to
easily lift off the table. So without using these two fingers at all, I can
take the mouse. I can go like hold on. There we go. Yeah, I can go like this
without actuating any of those side buttons. I can move quite vigorously. So
this is extremely handy. Now, in terms of uh mappings, similar to the original
Naga, it looks like they've changed the uh the pad on the bottom. So, the
original Naga had a ring-shaped pad around the entire mouse, whereas the Hex
version has got smaller pad feet that are here. Uh these approaches look
pretty similar to me because the surface area, see, it's quite thin around the
edges here, looks pretty similar. They're going to take a long way to wear down either way, but there's selections
here. So, you can either use the number pad to uh to bind to these keys
automatically or you can use the number keys across the top of the keyboard.
They both also include more support right around the sensor itself. It is a
laser mouse. There you go. So, there's that one on that one in right in the
middle of the mouse, so it glides extremely smoothly. Now, in terms of
buttons on this guy right here, there's the six on the side. So, these are
mechanical buttons. They've got a very satisfying click to
them, whereas the original Naga didn't really have that click. It was a very,
very different feel. That are actually rated for up to 250
clicks per minute, which I think is actually pretty interesting. That's an
awful lot of clicks, especially given that you'd never click one of the
individual buttons 250 times a minute, unless it's about five times a second on
one button. So, it's pretty much optimized for the most demanding
workloads, I think, as far as that goes. It does include support for Synapse 2.0.
Now, Synapse originally, there were a lot of complaints about it, but Razer
really addressed them with one of the most recent updates. So, it's their cloud-based software that allows you to
essentially store your profiles for your peripheral and take them with you
because anytime you're connected to the internet, you log into your profile and
it'll go boom, you're using your Razer peripherals. Okay, these are all the
settings that you like to use. So, it's just a cloud-based thing, but it
originally if you didn't log in, you wouldn't be able to even use the
profiles on a peripheral that you'd already plugged in. So, they've
completely fixed that now. So, it works even in offline mode, and it'll give you
the most up-to-date ones if you are not in offline mode. Going back to the
mouse, they've relocated two of the other buttons as well. So, by default,
these are your back and forward buttons on the original Naga. Whereas now,
instead of having two buttons up here, which I actually found were quite difficult to reach, particularly this
one anyway, they've relocated them here in more like the traditional DPI sensor
switching location that people are more used to seeing, whereas this is a bit of
a uh there's not that many mice that use this particular configuration. Uh, did I
mention already it has a 5600 DPI sensor? I hope I did. Um, in terms of
the rest of the looks, there hasn't really been that much that's changed.
So, instead of an illuminated Razer logo here, there's an illuminated League of
Legends logo, which goes along with the co-branding of the mouse, as well as
instead of a blue illuminated scroll wheel, they've gone with a yellow one
instead. So, we're going to go ahead and plug this in so you guys can get a good idea of what the mouse looks like once
it lights up. And we're going to finish up with
a quick unboxing of the accompanying League of Legends Goliath mouse pad. So
there you go. It has some League of Legends artwork on it. It's also got
sort of the usual things you've come to expect from any Goliath mouse pad. So it
has an anti- fray edge, so it's not going to well fray. Although in my
experience, usually even the ones that go straight to the edge with the regular
mouse weave usually take two to three years to start fraying. It's got a nice
rubber bottom on it. So, I mean, what is there to say about it? It has League of
Legends graphics on it. It goes with your mouse and it's made by Razor, so it's probably fine. It has a pretty
tight weave, so it's a fairly smooth surface for a cloth pad. So, personally,
I do prefer a bit of a less dense weave, but that comes down to the individual
user's choice. And I think that pretty
much wraps it up. Now, it's come to my attention that you guys guys may not
have seen the game code the first time around. So, I'm just going to flash that one more time. And best of luck to
whoever gets the barbarian there. Thank you for checking out Oh yeah, I think
they're rated for yeah, 10 million click life cycle for the uh for the buttons on
the mouse. And I think that's everything that I wanted to say about it. Thanks
for checking out this unboxing. Don't forget to subscribe to Lin's Tech Tips
for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. And no, there was one
more thing I wanted to say. There's 24 click spots. Razer, for whatever reason,
calls that out.
24. We can count them together if you'd like, or we could just end the video
now. Make sure you subscribe.
